PHYSICAL SECURITY
SOFTWARE.
We build software that turns cameras, sensors, and access points into a unified security platform.
// The Problem
Physical security installations are fragmented by design. A typical enterprise campus runs 3-4 separate systems: access control from one vendor, VMS from another, intrusion detection from a third, and visitor management from a fourth. None of them talk to each other. When an incident happens, operators toggle between UIs trying to correlate badge swipes with camera feeds manually.
We build integration layers and custom platforms that unify these subsystems into a single operational view. Access events, video feeds, sensor alerts, and alarm states flow into one event bus. Correlation rules fire automatically—a forced-door alarm triggers the nearest PTZ camera to slew to that entry point and pulls up the last 10 badge reads in that zone.
On the analytics side, we deploy edge processing for video streams: occupancy counting, perimeter breach detection, license plate recognition. Processing happens on-premise on GPU-equipped edge nodes, so video never leaves the building. Alerts push to the security operations center in under 2 seconds from event to notification.
// Capabilities
Unified Access Control
Integration across badge readers, biometric scanners, and mobile credentials into a single policy engine. Role-based access rules, time-based scheduling, and anti-passback enforcement. Real-time sync with HR systems for immediate deprovisioning on termination.
Video Surveillance Analytics
Edge-deployed computer vision models for occupancy counting, loitering detection, perimeter breach, and LPR. Processing runs on local GPU nodes—no cloud dependency, no video exfiltration risk. Alerts trigger in under 2 seconds from detection to operator notification.
IoT Sensor Integration
Ingestion pipelines for door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, environmental monitors, and gunshot detection. MQTT and BACnet protocol support. Sensor health monitoring catches offline devices before they create blind spots.
Security Operations Dashboards
Single-pane-of-glass for security operators. Live event feeds, camera grids, access logs, and alarm states in one UI. Incident workflows guide operators through response procedures. Post-incident reports compile timelines from all subsystems automatically.
// Frequently Asked
Can you integrate with existing access control systems like Lenel or Genetec?
Yes. We build on top of existing hardware investments. We integrate with Lenel OnGuard, Genetec Security Center, AMAG Symmetry, and others via their SDKs or APIs. For older systems without APIs, we tap into the underlying database or intercept Wiegand/OSDP signals at the controller level.
How does edge processing work for security cameras?
We deploy inference models on GPU-equipped edge nodes (NVIDIA Jetson or similar) co-located with your NVR. Video frames get analyzed locally—no footage leaves the premises. The edge node sends only metadata and alerts to the central platform. Typical latency from camera frame to alert is 1-2 seconds.
What physical security protocols do you support?
OSDP for access control readers, ONVIF for IP cameras, MQTT for IoT sensors, BACnet for building automation integration, and SIA DC-09 for alarm monitoring station communication. We also handle proprietary protocols for specific vendor hardware when needed.
How do you handle security system uptime requirements?
The platform runs on-premise with no cloud dependency for core operations. Local failover ensures access control and alarm monitoring continue even if the WAN link drops. We architect for 99.99% availability with redundant controllers, database replication, and automatic service recovery.

Enterprise Access Control & Mobile Credentialing
Our enterprise access control practice migrates organizations from legacy Wiegand-based card systems to encrypted OSDP v2 reader infrastructure with mobile credentialing, eliminating card cloning vulnerabilities and the ongoing cost of physical badge issuance. A typical 50-site enterprise saves $150,000-$300,000 annually in badge production, replacement, and administrative overhead after transitioning to smartphone-based credentials. More critically, the migration closes the Wiegand cloning vulnerability that renders most legacy access control systems trivially defeatable with commodity hardware.
