I think this is the way of the future:
Combined Access Control and DVR Integration..... Does anyone know of an existing company that does this already?

Kalatel does this and has for a while now.

they have an access control software program built for this, to integrate into their DVMRe's or digiplex system, and others. So you can control access control remotely also as well as video and more.

I am sure there are others doing it also.

Thanks, I will look into it!

I think this is already the hottest thing going. Most access control manufacturers integrate with somebody's DVR. Display live video on alarm, bi-directional alarm capabilities, it's awesome. Here are some manufacturers that offer DVR integration over a network:

- SoftwareHouse C-CURE800 with Loronix, Nice and Intellex
- Northern Computers with thier VAST DVR (if it still exists) and ADEMCO Vidoe RapidEye MULTI
- Casi-Rusco Facility COmmander with Kalatel, Integral, Panasonic, Intellex, Loronix, and Nice
- Kantech Corporate Edition with Intellex
- Lenel On-Guard with thier own DVR, Loronix, Nice (I think!) and Intellex
- InfoGraphics Diamond II with Kalatel, Intellex, and Integral.
- NexWatch and RapidEye MULTI

SkyWire Video can support integration with access control systems through its serial port support and scripting. e-mail me if you want more info.

Thanks for that guys I will surely look into them....
