A Security Management System (SMS) enables security operators to streamline and optimize routine security and emergency preparedness. This helps to improve overall security effectiveness for the security monitoring and surveillance infrastructure.
Benefits and advantages of Security Management Systems include:
Efficiency
Security processes, workflows, and reporting are streamlined through a centralized security management system. Well-documented policies, procedures, and protocols reduce cost, save time and increase overall effectiveness.
Preparedness
Security Management Systems provide continuous updates and priority management data that help to create an overall picture of every situation as it arises and changes throughout time. Your security infrastructure acquires better preparedness and emergency situational awareness during times of crisis.
Organization
Security Management Systems, integrated with video analytics and video management systems, can automate the analysis of events that have occurred or in real-time. They capture pertinent events, their location, their time, and identities for security personnel to review.
Automation
Security Management Systems are protocol-driven and can systematically collate, sort, and analyze data from multiple sources. The SMS enables security personnel, though precise automated responses and communications that are streamlined for every event and incident.
