Safepoint insight Facility owners and managers Be aware that NFPA and authorities having jurisdiction have made the design, testing and inspection of fire alarm systems more stringent and compliance is mandatory. Security systems In safer times, security systems designed to reduce owner liability were as simple as a locked door equipped with a basic key lock or a card access system. In today's world, a sophisticated camera system is considered minimum coverage by industry standards. Systems Integration Considered by experts to be the method of choice in the security world. Simply put, Systems Integration is the bringing together of subsystems such as CCTV, access control, time and attendance and intrusion detection in a way in which data is captured only once and is stored in a central storehouse accessible to all the subsystems. Changes to the database are immediately available to all systems. By contrast, in an interfaced system, each subsystem maintains its own database and must query other subsystems to obtain access to their data.
