Hirsch Velocity Central Named 2026 GOVIES Award Winner for Unified Security Monitoring
Recognized for unifying access control, video, and intrusion systems into a single command environment, improving visibility and response across complex security operations
Santa Ana, CA — June 5, 2026 — Hirsch, the global leader in unified security solutions, today announced that Velocity Central Unified Security Monitoring has been named a winner in the Monitoring Solutions category at the 2026 GOVIES Government Security Awards, presented by Security Today.
The GOVIES Awards recognize outstanding government security products that address evolving challenges across critical infrastructure, public sector, and regulated environments.
Velocity Central was recognized for its ability to unify traditionally siloed systems — including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire, intercom, and building management — into a single, intelligent command and monitoring environment.
Advancing Unified Monitoring for Complex Environments
As security environments continue to expand across multiple systems and locations, organizations face increasing challenges with visibility, response times, and operational efficiency.
Velocity Central addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform that enables operators to monitor, control, and respond across systems in real time, eliminating the need to switch between disconnected interfaces.
Acting as the operational hub of the Hirsch Velocity ecosystem, the platform integrates both Hirsch and third-party technologies into a unified, customizable interface designed around how security teams actually work.
Delivering Measurable Operational Impact
Organizations deploying Velocity Central have reported significant improvements in operational performance, including:
- Up to 85% faster alarm response times
- Automation of up to 98% of daily operator tasks
- Up to 25% reduction in operational costs
These outcomes reflect the growing importance of unified monitoring in enabling faster decision-making, improving compliance, and reducing operational burden across complex environments.
Industry Recognition for a Unified Approach
“Security teams are managing more systems than ever before, often across distributed environments,” said Mark Allen, CEO, Hirsch US. “Velocity Central was built to bring those systems together into a single operational view, giving teams the clarity and control they need to respond with confidence.”
This recognition from the Govies Awards reinforces Hirsch’s commitment to simplifying security operations through unified, scalable platforms that support mission-critical environments.
