The Convergence of Security and IT

In today's world, the same person frequently manages IT, physical security and networking. That's because the technologies of encryption, bandwidth, network integrity, firewall access and physical security have converged into a new and powerful networked environment.

Security managers today must understand network edge topology, zero footprint software, high speed networking, and the integration of databases, video and other related subsystems.

The complexities of today's environments also create special opportunity's for a product such as e-Merge, with it's  native IP hardware technology. e-Merge simplifies your IT security environment rather than complicating it.

Because e-Merge does not require you to install any software of pull new wiring to any computer - you simply connect components to your data network and e-Merge will recognize them - it has a zero footprint and provides control of a complete physical security environment through a web browser that is already on your PC.

e-Merge changes the age-old equation of inflexible low-end security systems or over-featured, expensive high-end systems. Designed from the ground up to de a cost-effective complete solution, e-Merge is a complete, scalable security management system compact enough to fit in a panel-sized box, yet powerful enough to integrate your access control, alarm monitoring and video in one system.

This is our third generation system that you control doors with your normal browser
(such as Internet Explorer, Netscape & Firefox).
