A clear comparison of how integrated video and access control delivers greater value—with fewer headaches—for today’s workplace decision-makers.
| Category | Bundled: Integrated Video + Access | Fragmented: Separate Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | Predictable, consolidated billing with reduced vendor overhead | Multiple contracts, overlapping costs, unclear cost forecasting |
| Service Coverage | One team responsible for end-to-end access + video support | Gaps between vendors—no clear owner of cross-system issues |
| Downtime Risk | Faster response and proactive maintenance across all systems | Inconsistent upkeep, more outages, no shared accountability |
| User Training Needs | Single platform = less onboarding and lower learning curve | Teams must learn and manage separate systems |
| Support SLAs | One SLA. One help desk. One number to call. | Fragmented support with inconsistent standards and delays |
Why it Matters
In today’s hybrid and multi-site work environments, security needs to work seamlessly. Fragmented systems may seem manageable at first—but over time, they cost more in downtime, confusion, and inefficiencies. Bundling your video and access systems into a unified solution reduces complexity and improves response, visibility, and performance.
