An Out-of-Date System is Not an Option.
Radius Systems’ Approach to Security Legacy Systems
Well-designed physical security systems based on state-of-the-art security technology are essential to protecting your employees, facility, and assets. Proactive analysis of security vulnerabilities and implementation of a sound protection and prevention plan are the path to preparedness and avoiding worst-case scenarios. Radius Systems’ approach to legacy systems upgrades is centered around ensuring a seamless transition and minimizing downtime for the customer. Radius Systems uses a software-first approach to rebuild the database from the existing legacy system to the new systems’ manufacturer prior to any hardware changes. By setting up the new system independently and ensuring its functionality before the physical conversion begins, Radius Systems minimizes disruptions and maintains a smooth transition for the customer. Radius Systems is committed to providing brand-agnostic, customized security solutions to best fit the needs of any facility.
Benefits of a Security System Upgrade
- Generate savings by evaluating cost-effective options for Software Service Agreements
- Replace obsolete or non-supported software and hardware
- Intuitive user experience with increased functionality including advanced analytics, AI, and integration options
- Proactively budget to prepare for the technology end-of-lifecycle
- Extend your existing investment by reusing components with static technology while refreshing to more advanced technology on critical system components
- Responsive service from technicians who are experienced in both old and new technologies
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
Legacy System Solutions
Radius Systems uses ONVIF Conformant cameras and VMS solutions to provide a customized, flexible path to upgrade regardless of the existing legacy system. This allows for increased analytic capabilities, reduced maintenance costs from supporting obsolete NVRs, and prepares the facility for future improvements and technology upgrades.
EXISTING Non-Proprietary IP-Based Cameras:
• Video Management System upgrade only
• Protect existing camera investments and minimize downtime
• Replace and upgrade cameras as needed to avoid the cost of a full hardware replacement project
EXISTING Analog Cameras:
• Video Management System upgrade
• Replace cameras with the current standard of IP-based cameras is recommended
OR
• Use encoders to pull in existing analog cameras to the new VMS with limited analytic capabilities. Extends the usefulness of an existing system and allows for flexibility in planning a phased system upgrade.
EXISTING Proprietary IP-Based Cameras:
• Requires replacement of existing cameras and Video Management System
• Maintain existing wire infrastructure
• Proprietary cameras will not function when connected to a different VMS
ACCESS CONTROL
Legacy System Solutions
Radius Systems applies a customer-focused approach to create flexible, customizable legacy upgrades and system integrations tailored to your facility’s needs.
EXISTING Mercury to Mercury:
• Simple, software-only changeover
• ALL existing hardware remains
• Protect existing investments and minimize downtime
EXISTING Proprietary to Mercury:
• Software and partial hardware replacement required
• Replace existing control panels to Mercury-based open controllers
• Reuse existing wiring, door lock power supplies, door readers, and door hardware
EXISTING Proprietary or Mercury to Proprietary:
• Software and hardware replacement required
• Replace existing control panels and door readers
• Reuse existing wiring, door lock power supplies, and door hardware
MULTI SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Radius Systems has extensive experience integrating 3rd party systems into the access control and/or video management systems including work order management, intercom, visitor management, mass notification, HR, fire, elevator, etc.
- By including all departments in the planning stage, Radius Systems creates integrated solutions that provide a customized user interface and functionality
- Powerful data exchange systems, such as File Transfer Data Exchange or RESTful API, are used to communicate with other facility systems
- Cloud-based systems also offer a wide variety of integration possibilities because manufacturers can develop the software code and/or API’s required for integration
Stay ahead of potential vulnerabilities by proactively upgrading and maintaining your security technologies.
