Faster, Smarter Security with Unified Video and Access Control
When an incident occurs, operators need more than an alert — they need context. The updated March Networks integration brings video and access events together inside Protege GX, so teams can respond faster with greater confidence.
Security operators are expected to make faster decisions with more information than ever before.
The challenge is that critical information often lives in separate systems. Access control events appear in one application. Video footage lives in another. Motion alerts generate somewhere else entirely. When an incident occurs, operators are left switching between platforms, searching for footage and piecing together what happened after valuable time has already been lost.
That's why video integrations are vital.
Faster Answers When Every Second Counts
ICT is pleased to announce the updated March Networks Video Integration for Protege GX is now live and available through MyICT, providing enhanced event visibility and expanded support for key high-level interface (HLI) events including Motion Detected and Camera Online/Offline events, validated against the latest March Networks software release.
When a door is forced open, an alarm activates or unusual activity occurs, security teams don't just need an event notification. They need context.
The March Networks integration brings video and security events together inside Protege GX, under one pane of glass, helping operators quickly understand what is happening and respond with greater confidence.
Through the integration, users can:
- View live and archived video directly from Protege GX
- Associate cameras with doors, inputs, outputs and areas
- Automatically launch camera views when security events occur
- Embed camera feeds within status pages
- Monitor motion detection and camera health events directly within Protege GX
- Trigger PTZ camera actions based on Protege GX events
Instead of manually searching for footage after an event, operators can immediately access the relevant camera view and investigate from a single interface.
One platform. More visibility. Less time spent jumping between systems.
Reducing Complexity for Integrators and End Users
Many organizations already rely on March Networks for enterprise video surveillance, particularly within banking, retail, education and commercial environments. At the same time, they are looking to reduce the operational burden that comes from managing multiple disconnected security systems.
For integrators, that creates a familiar challenge.
Every additional platform means more training, more troubleshooting and more opportunities for finger-pointing when something doesn't work as expected.
By integrating March Networks with Protege GX, integrators can deliver a more unified experience for their customers while preserving existing video investments. Operators gain faster access to information, while integrators gain a stronger story around operational efficiency and system visibility.
Built for Modern Security Operations
The updated integration communicates directly with the March Networks Command Enterprise Server through the Protege GX March Video Service, enabling bi-directional communication between systems. Video events generated within March Networks can be monitored within Protege GX, while security events can trigger automated camera actions and video workflows.
The result is a more connected security environment where access control and video work together to provide a clearer operational picture.
Because when an event occurs, the question isn't simply whether the alarm triggered. The question is: What happened, where did it happen and what should we do next?
The updated March Networks Video Integration helps answer those questions faster.
