June 2017 www.SecurityInfoWatch.com / Security Dealer & Integrator 45 the device and nature of the problem. is ensures that the technician will have the replacement parts in advance. With the ability to detect potential failures in advance, dealer/integrators can take proactive measures to avoid system interruption. Diagnostic infor- mation including AC presence, battery status and health, voltage output, cur- rent draw, ambient temperature and more are all available. Service Contracts While a traditional preventative main- tenance contract typically includes regularly scheduled maintenance for replacing batteries, cleaning camera domes and lenses, system testing and more, the addition of remote mon- itoring can reduce overall costs and increase revenues. Whether customers have an all-in- clusive service contract in place or not, remote access and alerts enable integra- tors to better maintain the systems. Increased Levels of Integration New power and transmission products that communicate over the network provide higher levels of system integra- tion. With APIs (Application Program Interface) available for customization with supplier partners, this opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Video management and access control so- ware can now be truly integrated with these products to provide comprehen- sive remote monitoring, diagnostics and control. New hardware innovations – specif- ically enclosures that facilitate power and access installation – are also con- tributing to easier and more efficient installations. A perfect example is the ability to easily layout and combine power and distribution products with access controllers and peripherals under one roof. Benefits include flex- ible board layout, scalability of design and better wire management. Additionally, using versatile back- planes that accommodate access con- trollers from the industry's leading manufacturers, these enclosures also enable systems to be assembled and tested prior to installation. Products with network communi- cations capabilities can greatly impact system design, installation and service models, creating a new path for busi- ness growth and increased RMR. ■ » Ronnie Pennington is National Sales Engineer for Altronix Corp.
