Schlage's security management system delivers a solution that integrates access control, digital video, and alarm monitoring systems. The system enables users to maximize the effectiveness of multiple security applications within one system and allows transactions, associated video clips and badging photos to be viewed simultaneously. A bunch of software can be applied to fit current needs and budgets. Users can then migrate to new levels as their security requirements increase or upgrade while leaving existing databases, PCs and hardware intact. The system can also offer advanced access control, alarm monitoring, digital video, asset tracking, photo ID badging, and visitor management functionalities.
