Case Study: Bently Reserve modernizes security operations with Salient Systems

Bently Reserve integrates 80 cameras and access control with Salient Systems

Bently Reserve, a historic multi-tenant office and event building in San Francisco, faced a security challenge with its disparate systems. Its AMAG Symmetry access control system and standalone Exacq video surveillance system operated independently, making it difficult and time-consuming for its small security team to verify and respond to alarms. Director of Security Kerisha Jeffryes urged the building's owners to adopt a solution from vendor Salient Systems to integrate these systems for a more streamlined and effective security operation.

Salient Systems implemented its CompleteView VMS to integrate with the existing Symmetry access control, creating a single, user-friendly dashboard. This allowed security officers to instantly verify access control alarms with live video, improving response times and officer safety. The solution also provided robust features for tenant badge management, including the ability to schedule access expirations, which proved invaluable for security and during COVID-19 contact tracing. The integrated system from Salient Systems provided Bently Reserve with a more intelligent, efficient, and tenant-friendly security platform.
