| Siemens' new security solution combines access control, video surveillance and intrusion protection |
Siveillance Fusion is a holistic security management system now introduced by Siemens' Building Technologies Division. As a centralised solution (top-down approach) it combines access control, video surveillance and intrusion protection on a single platform. Using the existing IT infrastructure and .NET Framework, Siveillance Fusion allows for complete interoperability. The platform provides a complete overview and control of a corporation's daily security operations and ensures situational awareness. Siveillance Fusion as a flexible, scalable and user-friendly system caters to a broad variety of applications. It is suited for both single sites and organizations having several subsidiaries, including worldwide operations. All security applications are dynamically presented on a single screen and can be accessed via a desktop or web clients. For extra security and greater energy efficiency, Siveillance Fusion can also interface with fire detection and building management systems.
Siveillance Fusion - the new security management system from Siemens - offers a centralised view and administration of all security applications. The video management function ensures integration of analogue and IP cameras for video streaming or network recordings, including the options of network video recording (NVR) and video management system (VMS). The digital video recorder (DVR) allows for recordings at different locations, which can be viewed either locally or at any remote location, irrespective of where the recordings were made.

Video systems can be easily linked to access control doors, for verifying the identification of people, for instance. The fully fledged access control functionality protects doors and barriers, only granting access to authorised people at the right times. Should an issue occur, the reporting tool easily extracts the relevant information and delivers it along with visual evidence.
The centralised functions are completed by including intrusion protection, offering early detection of threats. Cameras, access readers and detectors can all individually be placed as required, offering complete situational awareness. Should an event occur, it is easy to identify the exact location and to take appropriate action.
Siveillance Fusion will be launched internationally on October 20, 2009.
