From Cameras to Consoles: You’re Closer to Control Rooms Than You Think

As a security integrator, you’re already designing complex camera and access control systems — which means you’re already walking the job, talking to end users, and building the heart of their operation. But there’s one opportunity that often gets overlooked: the control room itself.

Adding Winsted control room solutions to your portfolio is one of the easiest ways to expand your offering, increase project value, and deliver a more complete solution to your customers — without taking on something outside your comfort zone.

Here’s how simple it can be:

Step 1: Identify the Opportunity

Every large surveillance or access control system requires operators to monitor and manage it. Those operators need a workspace that supports technology, comfort, and long hours of use — and that’s exactly what Winsted delivers.

If you’re already specifying systems for these environments, you’re perfectly positioned to bring Winsted into the conversation. The opportunity is already there.

Step 2: Design Made Simple

Adding control room furniture doesn’t mean you have to become a designer. Winsted’s in-house design team handles everything — from concept sketches to full 3D renderings and virtual walk-throughs. Customers can send over room dimensions or even rough ideas on a napkin, and Winsted will turn them into detailed visuals that bring the project to life.

Plus, you have TPI as your regional representative — providing boots-on-the-ground support, walkthroughs, and guidance every step of the way.

Step 3: Deliver the Solution

End users already need furniture for their control rooms — they just don’t always realize their security integrator can provide it. By including Winsted in your proposal, you offer your customers a more complete solution and ensure that every cable, component, and workstation fits seamlessly together.

Winsted’s consoles, 24/7 chairs, raised floors, racks, and technical furniture are engineered for the intense demands of modern control rooms. The focus is always on:

• Operator comfort and productivity

• Ergonomic design

• Seamless technology integration

• Organized cable management

  
  

Step 4: Installation Made Easy

Whether you want to handle installation yourself or leave it to the experts, Winsted makes it simple. Choose from three levels of on-site installation and support — or use their detailed self-install documentation if you prefer to manage it directly.

Winsted’s goal is to make the process as effortless as possible so you can add value to your customer’s project without adding complexity to yours.

Bring Winsted Up on Your Next Walkthrough

When you’re already in the room, don’t leave opportunity on the table. Control room furniture is a natural extension of the security systems you’re already selling — and Winsted makes it easy to integrate into your business.
