ZKAccess, a division of ZKTeco and provider of biometric and RFID security solutions, announced the integration of its access control platform with Arteco, a provider of video event management solutions. The integration of access control and video surveillance is of growing interest to end users in a wide variety of markets, which propelled both companies to seek a partnership to provide customers with the ability to combine data into a single management platform.

Arteco Video Event Management Software

Arteco Video Event Management Software (VEMS) is now integrated with ZKBioSecurity management software platform through Arteco’s Open Connector, an integration platform that streamlines interoperability between third-party systems and the Arteco VEMS platform. Access control events from ZKBioSecurity software are presented in the Arteco VEMS interface in real time, allowing joint customers to gain greater insight to make more informed decisions and facilitate faster response.

“ZKAccess is a provider of biometric, RFID, and access control solutions with significant reach across the globe. When seeking an integration partner in the video surveillance segment, we wanted to partner with an organisation with the same global footprint because the demand for access control and video integration is not unique to the U.S. market,” said Larry Reed, CEO, ZKAccess. “Arteco is an ideal partner because of its event-based, open video technologies and its focus on ensuring customers have access to the most important information to make informed decisions at any given time.”

Maximising business efficiencies

“At Arteco, our mission is to enable our customers to gain insight to the most important events across their infrastructure to increase safety and maximise business efficiencies,” said Steve Birkmeier, Vice President, Sales and Business Development, Arteco. “ZKAccess is a leader in the access control market for its ability to provide robust, cost-effective solutions that help reduce risk. Working together, our customers can realise the benefits of video and access integration to ensure a more informed, proactive security posture.”
