We have been talking about the evolution in the security market for several years now– Our customers are always looking for “wider solutions”, solution that address a complete set of security and operational needs. Traditional VMS solutions were limited and could not provide an answer for the needs of these organizations. Additional solutions that provide a larger set of tools for better situational awareness and more efficient situation management are already available today in next generation VMS, PSIM solutions and business intelligence tools. Sometimes the distinction between these products is not clear though, it’s hard to tell what each type provides and which category fits best to describe it.
