Integrated security systems work by connecting various security components—such as surveillance cameras, alarms, access control systems, and monitoring software—into a single cohesive system. These components communicate with each other, allowing for centralized control and management. For example, if a security camera detects suspicious activity, it can trigger an alarm, which then alerts security personnel or the monitoring center. The integration also allows for real-time data sharing and analysis, enhancing the system’s overall effectiveness in preventing and responding to security incidents.
