Why Bundling Access Control and Video Surveillance Is Smarter with a Managed Security Service 

Tenant

Managed Physical Security Is the Smarter Way to Secure Your Workplace 

In a world of rising threats and tighter budgets, physical security management needs to do more with less. Yet many organizations still rely on separate systems for access control and video surveillance, creating silos that cost time, clarity, and peace of mind.  

The solution? Not just smarter tools—but a fully managed security service that unifies your systems and takes the operational burden off your team.  

 

Fragmented Security Systems Create Risk and Inefficiency 

Whether it’s mismatched platforms or legacy systems that don’t integrate, managing video surveillance and access control separately results in:  

  • Slower response times and incident resolution  
  • Gaps in system oversight and reporting  
  • Higher total cost of ownership (TCO)  
  • Confusing vendor relationships and finger-pointing during outages  
  • Increased cybersecurity and compliance risk across multiple systems  

For facilities, IT, and security leaders, it’s a daily drain on resources—and a growing liability.  

 

Why a Managed Security Service Model Makes the Difference 

A managed security service provider (MSSP) handles the full lifecycle of your physical security infrastructure—monitoring, maintenance, support, and system updates—so you don’t have to.  

When both video surveillance and access control are unified under a managed service model, organizations gain:  

  • 24/7 video surveillance monitoring with proactive alerts
  • Consolidated service and support from one trusted vendor
  • Integrated reporting across doors and cameras
  • Streamlined workflows and user-friendly platforms
  • Predictable costs and no surprise maintenance bills

And unlike DIY or piecemeal setups, a managed model scales easily across multiple sites.  

 

The Power of Bundling Access and Video 

When you bring video surveillance and access control systems into one unified, fully managed platform, your organization benefits from:  

Real-Time Incident Clarity  

Events, footage, and access logs sync automatically—no more manual cross-referencing.  

✅ Centralized Security Data  

Eliminate platform hopping and fragmented information. Everything lives in one dashboard.  

✅ Fewer Vendors, More Accountability  

One partner, one SLA, one support team—simplifying oversight and speeding up resolutions.  

Lower Operational Load  

Free your facilities and IT teams from platform maintenance and reactive troubleshooting.  

 

Already Using Managed Access Control? You’re Almost There. 

If your organization already benefits from a managed access control system, you’ve seen how much simpler and more reliable a commercial security system can be. Extending that same model to your commercial video surveillance system doesn’t require a rip-and-replace.  

It’s about unlocking the full value of your existing infrastructure—while adding clarity, efficiency, and confidence across your security operations.  

 

It’s Time to Simplify Your Security Strategy 

Your workplace doesn’t need more security tools. It needs smarter, connected security systems—managed by experts who keep them running, optimized, and future-ready.
