Solutions / Integrated Security
Integrated security systems designed to work as one.
Access control, intrusion detection, video, and intercom perform better when they are planned together. We design and integrate them around how your building actually operates.

The operational problem
Separate systems create separate problems.
Security systems installed at different times by different vendors often end up with separate software, separate logins, and no shared view of an event.
Integration is not about connecting everything. It is about deciding which connections reduce response time, simplify administration, or close gaps, and building those deliberately.
FM Tech received first place in the 2026 Best of Hampton Roads for Security Systems.
Common pressures
Multiple platforms to learn, maintain, and update
Events that need manual cross-checking between systems
Unclear responsibility when something fails
Systems that cannot expand without replacing others
Capabilities and services
The systems we coordinate.
Scope is driven by the building and the risks you are addressing.
Access control
Credentialed entry and door policy across single or multiple buildings.
Intrusion detection
Detection and alarm devices for protected areas and after-hours conditions.
Video surveillance
Cameras and recording tied into entry points and alarm events.
Intercom and entry communication
Verification and communication at controlled doors.
Unified design and documentation
One design set, one point of coordination, and clear documentation of how systems relate.
Building system integration
Connections we plan for.
We confirm what each platform supports before promising a behavior.
Door event to camera view
Review video linked to a specific access or alarm event.
Entry request to door release
Verify a visitor by audio or video, then release the door from an authorized station.
Alarm and access coordination
Align arming states and door status where supported.
Shared network and power
A single infrastructure plan for all connected devices.
Commercial applications
Where integration pays off.
Integrated design is most useful where several systems already overlap.
Multi-building campuses
Consistent policy and visibility across locations.
Schools
Coordinated entry, communication, and camera coverage.
Healthcare facilities
Layered protection across public, staff, and restricted areas.
Commercial offices and mixed-use
Shared lobbies, tenant spaces, and after-hours operation.
Government facilities
Controlled entry and monitored areas under consistent procedures.
The FM Tech approach
One plan across every system.
Our process keeps the integration purposeful.
Assess
Inventory existing systems and identify which interactions matter most to operations.
Design
Define the architecture, platforms, and integration points with clear responsibilities.
Integrate
Install, connect, and test each system and each interaction.
Support
Train staff and maintain a documented system your team can evolve.
Manufacturers

FAQ
Useful answers for your next conversation.
Do all security systems need to come from one manufacturer?
No. Integration depends on what each platform supports. We select compatible systems and verify the connections you need before installation.
Can you integrate with systems we already have?
Often, within the limits of the existing equipment. We assess current systems and tell you which can be connected and which would limit the design.
What is the benefit of integrating security systems?
Integration can reduce manual cross-checking, simplify administration, and give staff a clearer picture during an event.
Can we integrate in phases?
Yes. Many organizations begin with the highest-priority systems and add connections as budgets allow, provided the original design plans for them.
