Security is no longer just about recording video; it's about actionable intelligence. Here are the trends we are seeing in our recent installs:
Goodbye Keycards, Hello Mobile
Employees lose badges. They rarely lose their phones. Mobile credentials (using NFC or Bluetooth) are safer, easier to manage, and preferred by users.
Analytics at the Edge
Cameras are getting smarter. Instead of sending terabytes of footage to a server, modern cameras from Axis and Hanwha detect "loitering" or "line crossing" directly on the device.
Unified Platforms
Siloed systems are dead. The new standard is a "single pane of glass" where Access Control, Video, and Intercoms all live in one dashboard (like Genetec or Verkada). This reduces response time during critical incidents.
As you plan your security upgrades for the coming year, keep these shifts in mind. The goal is no longer just "security"—it's operational efficiency.
