Integrated security management

platform for Windows

®

Seamless. Effective. Efficient.

 “We have 70% security personnel turnover in a year. How can we
effectively train them on multiple applications when each has a
completely different look and feel?”

“I’ve got a large investment in my hardware. I need a platform

that delivers the latest capabilities, yet integrates with the
hardware that I already own.”

“Our security force is stretched really thin. I need a

solution that delivers useful information and not one
that buries us in streams of raw data.”
 Integrate security applications
on one versatile platform
It’s easy and efficient to seamlessly integrate your
mission-critical physical security infrastructure.

Security is a top concern for you and your business. Though you’re serious
about security, without an integrated solution you could be compromising
the safety of the people and property you are committed to protect.
Your security solution includes independent applications that manage a
number of complex systems, each with a different look and feel. You see
opportunity to adapt these applications to your existing infrastructure
and more effectively monitor your access control, video surveillance and
alarm management systems from a single console. Your solution must
accommodate the future growth of your business, and accomplish more
with less.

Your search is over…

Take complete control with Facility Commander™ Wnx.

“My company has very aggressive

growth plans. I need a system
that works for today’s needs
yet easily scales as we add
thousands of new employees
across dozens of new locations.”
