Connecting the Dots: A More Connected Approach to Security
Today’s security systems are more powerful than ever—but when access control, video surveillance, and wireless locking systems operate independently, security teams can still find themselves jumping between multiple platforms to understand what happened during an incident.
The Johnson Controls Connected Security Ecosystem takes a different approach by bringing multiple security technologies together through native integration. By combining Kantech access control, Salto wireless locks, Exacq video management, and Illustra cameras, security teams can create a more connected and efficient security operation.
One Ecosystem, Multiple Security Technologies
Rather than relying on custom integrations or middleware to connect different systems, the Connected Security Ecosystem is designed to allow these technologies to work together natively.
That means access control events, wireless locking, and video intelligence can work together to provide security teams with a more complete picture of what is happening throughout a facility.
For example, when an access control event occurs, security personnel can quickly access the associated video evidence—helping them verify an event without having to search through separate systems.
Faster Incident Investigation
When an incident occurs, every second matters. Having access control and video information connected can make it easier for security teams to understand an event and determine what happened.
With the Connected Security Ecosystem, users can select an access control event and view the corresponding video evidence, helping streamline the investigation process and reduce the time spent searching across multiple platforms.
Expanding Security With Wireless Locking
Adding security to interior doors and openings doesn't always have to mean running additional cabling.
The integration of Salto wireless locks allows facilities to expand access control to additional openings while potentially reducing installation labor and cabling requirements.
This can be particularly useful when securing areas where traditional wired access control may be more difficult or costly to install.
Simplifying Deployment and Support
Integration isn't only about what happens after a system is installed. It can also have an impact on deployment and ongoing support.
Bringing these technologies together can help simplify system architecture, reduce troubleshooting across disconnected platforms, and minimize the number of separate systems security teams and integrators need to manage.
For facility teams, that can mean a more streamlined security operation. For integrators, it can mean a simpler approach to deploying and supporting a connected solution.
The Takeaway
As security systems continue to evolve, the ability for different technologies to communicate and work together is becoming increasingly important.
By connecting Kantech, Salto, Exacq, and Illustra, the Johnson Controls Connected Security Ecosystem demonstrates how access control, wireless locking, and video can work together to create a more unified security solution.
For security professionals looking to simplify deployments, accelerate investigations, and expand protection throughout a facility, integrated technology can help turn multiple individual security systems into one more connected ecosystem.
