Once an organization realizes the benefits of a converged network, the potential technologies that can be deployed on the network seem to never end. First wireless communications, then voice communications… now IP based video surveillance solutions are available to provide broad network-centric capabilities in video surveillance, across the same converged network that transports voice and data information. IP camera based security solutions enable organizations to use the IP network as an open platform to build more collaborative and integrated physical security systems, while preserving their existing investments in analog-based technology if one exists. As customers converge their physical security infrastructures and operations and begin using the IP network as the platform, they can gain significant value through rapid access to relevant information and interoperability between other IP-centric systems. This creates a higher level of situational awareness and allows intelligent decisions to be made more quickly.

Progressive Communications is a leader in helping organizations with network convergence. By doing so, we have become experts in many of the technologies that benefit from convergence, like VoIP, wireless, and now… IP based security solutions. We can help our customers build cost-effective, modular physical security solutions that are both best-in-class and interoperable with existing analog security platforms where required. At Progressive, our goal is to help you develop a standard platform whereby the IP surveillance technology can be provided on the same converged network where security policies and performance monitoring tools exist to assure optimal performance of all technologies. Using the network as an open, scalable platform for integrating security provides businesses with several benefits, such as operational flexibility, greater protection capabilities, lower cost of ownership, and reduced risk. Also, because the network is used as the fabric for IP security surveillance, we can easily extend security surveillance to the branch office, mobile environments, or outdoors settings. Deployments can range from a few strategic locations to literally thousands of camera’s, wherever the network allows you to go.
