Integration  
Overview

Increasingly each day, the world around us is being monitored and controlled remotely through smart devices. The low cost of microprocessors is allowing electronic intelligence (smart devices) to be built into everyday consumer electronics. These embedded, headless computers are increasingly becoming a part of everyone's everyday life. A fully integrated, programmable world will shortly become a reality and that world will offer many new conveniences, services, and opportunities. Smart devices already out number people 25 to 1 and their reach into our lives far exceeds that of conventional desktop PCs.

The Niagara Framework™ connects devices together in ways never before possible, creating unprecedented opportunities. By building the Niagara Framework™ to use the existing network infrastructure of the Internet, the wealth of information available from these devices can be tapped from anywhere on the globe at no additional cost.

We have always been aware that the market needed to move towards ever increasing integration of core physical asset management and physical security control. With the rapid adoption of IP networks for both the transmission of data from remote devices and sensors and more recently from CCTV cameras, the rate of change has increased.
