Why Cameras and Door Access Need to Work Together
Many businesses install security cameras and door access systems as separate projects. Cameras record who comes and goes, while access control manages entry. But without integration, critical gaps remain: you see the event or the video — not both together.
At Digital Systems Integration (DSI), we’ve seen how integrating cameras with door access closes those gaps and creates a more complete picture of security.
The Problem with Separate Systems
- No context: A door alarm may trigger, but you can’t see who swiped the card.
- Slow investigations: Staff must pull logs from one system and video from another, wasting time.
- Limited accountability: If credentials are shared, you can’t confirm who actually entered.
Benefits of Integration
- Linked events: Each access swipe is tied to a video clip, showing exactly who came through.
- Faster response: Security teams can quickly review both logs and footage in one interface.
- Better compliance: Integrated reports support audits and incident investigations.
- Scalable: Works across multiple doors, locations, and camera systems.
Technology That Makes It Possible
Brands like PDK.io and ZKTeco offer door access solutions that integrate directly with camera systems. DSI can also connect access control logs to existing NVRs, giving you unified visibility without replacing everything you already own.
Real-World Applications
- Warehouses: See which employee accessed a bay door and confirm it on video.
- Offices: Match visitor badges with camera footage at reception.
- Healthcare: Track controlled area entry with video confirmation for compliance.
