John Nemerofsky of Sage Integration explains six steps physical security integrators can and should take immediately.

Organizations are expanding their focus beyond solving immediate health and safety challenges and are looking to utilize security technology to also drive operational efficiencies, find cost savings, and optimize logistics.

As more security services move to the cloud and are delivered in a Software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, many of the advantages this new approach provides customers may be overlooked.

Security pros are getting asked more and more often if they can install audio, recommend a strong network, and set up some lighting scenes in addition setting up monitoring and access control for MDU properties.

As society has become more aware and accepting of mental health issues, the security monitoring industry is no different. The care and concern of monitoring staff should be of utmost importance to company leadership. 

Many industries across the country are struggling to find qualified employees. The security industry is no exception. 

Many integrators and consultants advocate easy-to-use, next-generation PSIM (physical security information management) software as the solution for overburdened operators. 

The benefits to video analytics software is immediate, including fewer missed true alarms, less monitoring staff burnout and a reduction in the hefty false alarm fines many local first responder organizations charge.

Though there was once a time when industry certification meant physically showing up at a vendor’s training event for a five-day crash course on all things hardware and software, today’s education landscape is nothing like it used to be.

The pandemic increased the demand for cloud video surveillance given the need for remote access to footage, presenting a further opportunity to earn RMR.
