Creating secure, transparent, and efficient public buildings with WinGuard, the open integration platform for security and building management.

The Challenge

Public responsibility. Complex security.

Government facilities must remain safe and accessible while protecting employees, visitors, sensitive areas, and day-to-day operations. Access control, video surveillance, fire and intrusion detection, door control, and building automation often operate side by side. Security personnel need a clear overview and reliable procedures when an alarm occurs. At the same time, public organizations must operate their buildings efficiently and maintain transparency over technical performance and energy consumption.

  • Secure access and movement

    Employees, visitors, and service providers require clearly controlled access to the areas relevant to them.

  • Consistent incident response

    Security personnel need guided procedures and complete situational information when alarms occur.

  • Unified technical environment

    Security and building technologies must work together instead of creating isolated information silos.

  • Efficient building operation

    Key operational and energy data should remain transparent and easy to evaluate.

The Platform

Everything at a glance.

WinGuard brings access control, video surveillance, fire and intrusion detection, door control, and building management systems together in one operational environment. When an alarm occurs, predefined workflows guide security personnel through the required actions and help establish a consistent response. Relevant security and building data can be documented and evaluated centrally, including key figures related to energy consumption. The open integration approach allows existing technologies from different manufacturers to be combined in one platform.

  • Unified control 
  • Guided workflows 
  • Transparent evaluation 
System architecture for energy operators: server, hot-standby, surveillance, client, video wall and mobile workstations connected over LAN; integrated subsystems include fire alarm (FAS), intrusion (IDS), CCTV, access control (AC), radio, public address (PA), perimeter and IoT

Scenarios & Solutions

The situations WinGuard handles.

01 / 04

Responding to unauthorized access.

When access control or intrusion detection reports an unauthorized entry attempt, security personnel need more than an isolated alarm. WinGuard brings together the event, the affected location, available video, and the status of connected doors in one operational view.

Operators can verify the situation, follow predefined procedures, control relevant doors, notify the responsible personnel, and document every action centrally. This supports a fast response while helping public areas remain accessible and protected areas remain secure.

02 / 04

Coordinating fire and emergency response.

A fire or emergency alarm in a public building requires structured action and clear information. WinGuard presents the affected area and the relevant connected systems while guiding operators through the approved response procedure.

Security personnel can coordinate door and access functions, communicate with responsible teams, and support emergency measures from one interface. The event and all manual or automated actions remain traceable for later review.

03 / 04

Making building performance transparent.

Government facilities must balance security with efficient building operation. By integrating available building management information, WinGuard gives facility and security teams a shared view of technical conditions and relevant operational data.

Key figures such as energy consumption can be evaluated centrally, helping teams identify inefficient operation, investigate technical issues, and make informed decisions without switching between separate systems.

Companion use case

Keeping access rights aligned with every role.

Public institutions manage employees, temporary personnel, contractors, service providers, and visitors whose access requirements change over time. Manual updates after onboarding, role changes, or departures can leave permissions inconsistent or active longer than necessary.

AIM connects identity sources such as HR systems with existing physical access control platforms and synchronizes authorization changes centrally. Joiners, movers, and leavers can receive updated permissions without duplicate data entry, while approval workflows support controlled contractor and visitor access. This improves transparency, reduces administrative effort, and helps ensure that each person retains only the access required for their role.
