If your customer is considering the design or installation of analog coaxial cabling systems or more modern IP security systems, it is important to remind them of the importance of the cabling infrastructure, since this can be the only point of failure if not planned and installed carefully.

Another key factor is the use of appropriate infrastructure products for the different applications. It is also important to make sure these products have been developed and manufactured according to performance standards and best practices, and that they ensure the best quality.

IT security applications offer more advanced benefits than traditional security systems. Modern security systems are expected to do more than just record and register events. What’s more, some predictive technologies are being implemented in order to help prevent crimes and attacks and efficiently handle less complex events, such as data bottlenecks. For example, a surveillance system in an airport can automatically detect when any piece of luggage has been abandoned or when a car is parked in an unauthorized area.

An effective security system must also be able to communicate and share information with other systems and different applications. In this respect, system integration can contribute with additional control methods, better information, faster response times and lower costs. An example for this can be a video surveillance camera that only records events when triggered by the access control system monitoring a protected door or hallway entrance.

What’s more, modern video surveillance systems can be integrated with access control systems, building automation and burglar or fire detection systems. This type of integration can also help reduce overall costs when applications are managed through a single workstation.

Anixter offers a wide variety of this type of products and distributes solutions that have been manufactured and tested under the harshest international quality regulations. We also offer specialized training and counseling services for the design and construction of solid, reliable systems.
