This means that the Hikvision IP based cameras now have the ability to integrate with Lenel's Onguard access control system, offering increasingly flexible solutions to meet customer needs.

"Hikvision has completed the required factory testing at Lenel to validate the functionality of its interface to Onguard. The combination of Hikvision video solutions with Lenel's Onguard access control system allows customers to greatly simplify their physical security management and quickly identify potential critical events. This integration also allows customers to better choose from a variety of Hikvision H.264 camera models to fully optimise their solution," said Gidon Lissai, director, strategic alliances, Lenel. "We look forward to their continued involvement in the Lenel Open Access Alliance Program."

"This relationship with Lenel demonstrates Hikvision's commitment toward openness, while concurrently providing the streamlining of Hikvision's IP-based cameras and Lenel's Onguard access control system," said Keen Yao, international marketing director, Hikvision. "Together, we bring a complete integrated security solution to the market for our mutual customers."

Hikvision's IP-based camera range comprises bullet cameras, dome cameras, and box cameras - all with a range of technological features, such as high resolution, wide dynamic range, low light capability and ease of installation.
