Security Ecosystems
Work When Systems Work Together
Yet most organizations still run a patchwork of platforms: access control in one place, video in another, alarms somewhere else, and reporting split across teams.
The Challenge
The Integrations Problem
Integrations are where security projects succeed or quietly fail
Siloed systems
that don’t share events or context (alarms, access, video, intercoms)
Custom integrations
that are expensive to build and painful to maintain
Inconsistent data
across sites (IDs, time sync, event formats, naming)
Slow verification workflows
because operators must switch tools
Security and compliance risk
when integrations bypass governance or audit trails
Integration drift
over time as sites expand, vendors change, or teams evolve
This results in higher operational costs, slower response times, and an ecosystem that never feels truly unified.
Outcomes You Can Expect
Choosing the Right Integrations Approach
Not all “integrations” deliver the same outcomes. The difference is whether you’re stitching systems together or building a scalable integration ecosystem.
Hirsch integrations are designed to help customers and partners connect best-in-class systems without sacrificing operational simplicity.
Platform Capabilities
Integration Capabilities
Hirsch integration solutions unify security operations from the perimeter to the core, delivering one intelligent view across access, video, intrusion, and identity.
Integration hub and verified integrations directory
Make it easy for prospects and projects to start with what’s proven:
A curated view of commonly integrated categories and solutions
“Verified integration” patterns that reduce delivery risk
Clear guidance on integration methods (native connectors, gateways, APIs)
1
Connectors, gateways, and interoperability layers
Unify environments where systems were never designed to live together:
Connectors that translate events and actions between systems
Gateway models that simplify integration across sites and devices
Standardized event flows (alarm → verify → escalate → report)
2
Open APIs and SDKs for extensibility
Enable developers, partners, and internal teams to build what customers need:
API-first integration paths for third-party applications
SDK support for tailoring workflows and user experiences
Secure, governed interfaces that can scale with the customer environment
3
Unified event correlation and workflows
Integrations become valuable when they change what operators do:
Link access events, alarms, and video into single response workflows
Trigger camera call-up, intercom actions, or escalation steps from events
Reduce “context switching” across tools during incidents
4
Partner integration and certification pathways
Build confidence for customers and enable partners to deliver faster:
A structured approach to partner-built integrations
Repeatable integration patterns that can be deployed consistently
A clear “request an integration” route to drive roadmap prioritization
5
Governance, permissions, and auditability
Integrations shouldn’t weaken control:
Role-based permissions and controlled access to integration functions
Audit-ready event trails and operator action traceability
Safer expansion as customers scale, acquire, or modernize sites
6
Unified Supervision and Integration
Centralized supervision
Integrations enable security teams to supervise multiple functions from one operating model, reducing complexity and improving response consistency across sites.
One operating picture
Bring integrated events into unified workflows so operators verify faster, respond consistently, and report with confidence.
Where Integrations
Deliver the Most Value
M&A/Mixed Estates: Unify multiple legacy systems without a full rip-and-replace
Critical Infrastructure: Connect detection, access, video, and response in high-assurance environments
Multi-Site Enterprises: Standardize operations across regions while supporting local requirements
Logistics and Large Campuses: Reduce operator load and improve incident response speed
Partners and Integrators: Deploy repeatable integration patterns and build new value-add solutions
