Hopefully this is a first step to enable systems integrators to
more easily deploy an integrated IP-based video and access con-
trol solution from a variety of different video and access control
providers.
Baldvin Gislason Bern, Chairman of ONVIF’s Profile C Working
Group is absolutely right when he states that, “Integration between
IP-based physical access control systems and video surveillance is no
longer considered a luxury in today’s market”. Let us all hope, that this
only a start and that we see more access control products in the fu-
ture that interact without relying on complicated integrations between
manufacturers.
Access control devices that work with the latest technology, enable
secure systems and communicate with each other. What a great out-
look to access the future.

Therefore, it is crucial that suitable preventive
measures be taken to ensure the reliability and
resilience of infrastructures and business pro-
cesses. They must first help manage critical situ-
ations as efficiently as possible and then enable
a quick return to normal operations.
Airports are a good example. As vital regional
hubs they are prime potential targets for terror-
ist attacks, which would have a lasting debilitat-
ing effect on the entire region. The ever present
threat to air travel, and the many national and
international regulations subsequently passed
to secure it, have led to a dramatic increase in
the range of security solutions deployed. Today’s
airports are large and complex facilities which
require a multi-layered security strategy – from
the perimeter to the terminal buildings.
