The integration of the S2 NetBox and Avigilon’s high-definition surveillance solutions provides end-users, from small, single site facilities to globally distributed organisations, with a single platform to unite access control and high-definition video surveillance.

“S2 Security and Avigilon share the philosophy of creating open products that support integration,” said John L. Moss, CEO, S2 Security. “Integrations such as this streamline security management for end users and create valuable new opportunities for our integrators.”

Companies can improve security and their return on investment, while balancing the needs of employees, IT and security departments by linking video and events with credential authentication, alarm and temperature monitoring. Through this integration, companies can improve response times to security events and provide enhanced protection for critical resources.
