Access Control, Video and Intercom — One Integrated Security Environment
Modern physical security works best when critical technologies work together instead of operating as separate systems.
Centralized Single Pane of Glass
Deltacom specializes in bringing those technologies together. We integrate access control, commercial video surveillance systems, video intercom and visitor management and intrusion detection and alarm systems into a centralized single pane of glass, giving security personnel a complete view of activity at secured entrances and throughout a facility.
Authorized personnel get centralized visibility into doors, credentials, cameras, intercom calls, visitors, alarms, schedules, reports and security events. An intercom call comes in, the visitor appears on video, staff speak with the visitor and grant or deny access — all within one environment, without moving between unrelated applications.
Access events are also associated with video, helping security personnel investigate:
- Valid credential activity
- Denied access attempts
- Forced-open doors
- Doors held open
- Visitor entry
- After-hours activity
- Other security events
For multi-site organizations, this provides centralized security management across every facility while allowing individual security technologies to maintain appropriate local functionality.
Video Intercom Integrated With Access Control
A commercial video intercom should be more than a doorbell. Deltacom designs and installs commercial video intercom systems integrated with access control, allowing employees, security personnel and reception staff to identify and communicate with visitors before granting access.
Authorized personnel can:
- Receive a visitor's intercom call
- View live video of the visitor
- Communicate directly with the visitor
- Verify the reason for requesting access
- Grant or deny entry
- Remotely unlock the appropriate door
- Review the associated access and video activity
Integrated video intercom and access control is particularly valuable for:
- Commercial offices
- Government facilities
- Warehouses
- Loading docks
- Gated properties
- Healthcare facilities
- Multifamily properties
- Remotely managed entrances
For multi-site organizations, integrated cloud platforms also allow you to manage visitor entry at locations where security or reception personnel are not physically present.
Cloud-Based Access Control Systems
Deltacom designs and installs cloud-based access control systems that give authorized administrators centralized management of doors, users, credentials, schedules and access permissions.
Cloud access control reduces dependence on traditional onsite server infrastructure while giving organizations greater flexibility in managing security across multiple facilities.
Authorized administrators can securely:
- Add and remove users
- Issue and revoke credentials
- Manage doors and schedules
- Review access activity
- Investigate security events
- Run reports
- Manage multiple facilities
- Access the system through web and mobile applications
Enterprise and Multi-Site Access Control
Managing multiple buildings should not require managing multiple disconnected security systems. Deltacom designs enterprise access control systems that provide centralized management across offices, warehouses, government facilities, healthcare environments, commercial properties and geographically distributed organizations.
Whether your organization operates one building or facilities across multiple states, Deltacom designs an access control architecture capable of expanding as your organization grows.
Access Control System Upgrades and Legacy Migration
Still operating an aging or end-of-life access control system? Deltacom helps organizations migrate from legacy access control systems to modern cloud-based, hybrid and enterprise access control platforms.
Replacing the access control platform does not mean replacing everything connected to it. Before recommending a complete replacement, Deltacom evaluates your existing:
- Card readers
- Credentials
- Door hardware
- Locks
- Cabling
- Power supplies
- Controllers
- Network infrastructure
Wiegand to OSDP Access Control Upgrades
Many older access control systems still rely on legacy Wiegand communications between card readers and access control panels. Deltacom helps organizations modernize reader communications using OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) and OSDP Secure Channel.
OSDP delivers meaningful advantages over legacy Wiegand technology, including bidirectional communications, improved device supervision and encrypted reader-to-controller communications when Secure Channel is implemented.
Most organizations can transition to OSDP as part of a broader access control modernization strategy rather than replacing their entire physical security infrastructure.
Video Surveillance Integrated With Access Control
Connecting access control with commercial video surveillance transforms security investigations. Instead of seeing only that a credential was presented at a particular door, an integrated system lets security personnel pull the associated video immediately and determine what actually occurred.
Helping security personnel answer three questions quickly:
This cuts the time required to investigate denied credentials, unauthorized entry, forced doors, doors held open, after-hours activity and other security incidents.
Intrusion Detection and Access Control Integration
Access control also integrates with commercial intrusion detection and alarm systems. Bringing intrusion events into the broader physical security environment gives personnel additional context when investigating alarms, after-hours activity or unauthorized access.
Rather than treating access control, intrusion detection, intercom and video surveillance as separate systems, Deltacom looks for every opportunity to make these technologies work together.
Access Control Meets Enterprise IT
Modern access control is no longer simply a door-hardware system. It is part of your organization's cybersecurity and network infrastructure environment. That is an important difference in how Deltacom approaches physical security.
This matters most for government, enterprise and multi-site organizations where physical security technology must operate within established network and cybersecurity policies.
Our teams work directly with IT departments on:
- Network architecture
- Cloud connectivity
- Cybersecurity requirements
- Firewall coordination
- Network segmentation
- Identity management integration
- User authentication
- Secure remote communications
- Software and firmware management
- System integration
- Business continuity
Technology-Neutral Access Control Solutions
Every organization has different security requirements. Deltacom does not believe every customer should be forced into the same access control platform.
We work with leading commercial security technologies and manufacturers, including AXIS Communications, YourSixOS, Brivo, HID, Schlage, DSX, PDK, Rhombus and Verkada, along with other commercial security platforms.
Our technology-neutral approach lets us evaluate your existing environment and recommend technology based on:
Our goal is straightforward: build the right security system for the customer rather than forcing the customer into a particular manufacturer's ecosystem.
Complete Door and Access Control Integration
A properly functioning access control system involves much more than mounting a card reader beside a door. Deltacom coordinates the complete electronic door-security environment, including:
- Readers
- Controllers
- Credentials
- Electric strikes
- Magnetic locks
- Door contacts
- Request-to-exit devices
- Power supplies
- Automatic door operators
- Intercoms
- Cameras
- Network infrastructure
Our technicians test the complete door operation so the electronic security system, locking hardware and associated technologies work together as designed.
