At the same time, the access control system locks down the area in which the intrusion occurred. The elevators in the area stop operating. When police arrive, the location of the burglar already is indicated by the central station operator. In the future, the police may have wireless tablets notifying them of the location of the break-in and perhaps even providing live video of the burglar.
This is the type of integration of intrusion devices and other security systems that end users want now. What they need from security dealers and systems integrators is seamless operation of such systems.
