The trend for monitoring both public area CCTV and alarms within the same monitoring operation has led to the requirement for these two companies to provide an integrated solution. The result is a highly functional yet simple to use interface which allows information to pass reliably between the two systems. This provides video verification of alarms and enables operator alerts to pre-defined activity which can then be viewed and handled intelligently. The success of this work has been demonstrated in the way that it refines and streamlines operators' resources at the same as increasing the efficiency and quality of both monitoring methods.

Bold's managind director Brian Kelly says "Customers come to Bold and Synectics because they offer the leading solutions in their respective markets. We try not simply to provide products and services but, by working with complementary systems providers, we can find new ways to add value to our customer's activities. The key is to do it in a way which is usable and efficient. Integrated alarm handling is an excellent example of this approach in action."
