Technologies

Open standards, compatible platforms

We select technology on three criteria: does it fit the task, does it have long-term support, and can it be integrated with other systems.

  • Vendor-independent choices
  • Open protocols preferred
  • Long-term support

How we choose technology

Our approach is technology neutrality: we are under no obligation to propose a particular brand. That lets us fit the solution to the real requirement of the site rather than the other way round.

We give preference to systems built on open standards — ONVIF in video, OSDP in access control, KNX and Matter in automation. That reduces the risk of finding yourself dependent on a single supplier when the system needs to grow.

Listed below are technologies, protocols and platforms we work with or ensure compatibility with. Vendor names are given only to describe the ecosystem and do not indicate official partnership, distribution or authorisation.

How the systems fit together

A building’s technology stack divides into four layers. The bottom one is the physical foundation, the top one is unified control. Each layer rests on the one below it: weak cabling undermines even the smartest scenario.

Network and connectivity

The foundation of network architecture: switching, routing and wireless access.

  • L2/L3 managed switching
  • PoE / PoE+ power
  • VLAN and QoS
  • Wi-Fi 5 / Wi-Fi 6
  • VPN and secured channels
  • SNMP monitoring

Cabling infrastructure

The physical layer everything else stands on.

  • Cat6 / Cat6A copper
  • Single-mode and multi-mode fibre
  • LSZH cables
  • Patch panels and organisers
  • Line certification
  • 19" rack systems

Video and analytics

Video surveillance built on open protocols.

  • ONVIF-compatible IP cameras
  • RTSP streams
  • H.264 / H.265 encoding
  • NVR and server-based recording
  • Video analytics and line crossing
  • Licence plate recognition

Access and identification

Access control components and interfaces.

  • OSDP and Wiegand
  • MIFARE / DESFire cards
  • Biometric terminals
  • Mobile credentials
  • Magnetic locks
  • Turnstiles and barriers

Automation

Smart home and smart building protocols.

  • KNX
  • Matter and Thread
  • Zigbee
  • Z-Wave
  • Modbus
  • DALI lighting
  • BACnet

Audio visual systems

Signal transport, processing and control.

  • HDMI and HDBaseT
  • AV over IP
  • DSP audio processing
  • Ceiling microphone arrays
  • Wireless presentation
  • Digital signage management

Selection criteria

Every technology decision answers these four questions:

Does it fit the task

Functionality must cover the actual need — no less, and no surplus you pay for without using.

What is the support outlook

The platform needs updates, available components and a sensible lifecycle.

How integrable is it

Open protocol support determines whether the system can be connected to anything else.

What does it cost to run

We count not just purchase price but licences, servicing and the cost of expansion.

Standards and practice

Our design work follows established industry approaches:

Infrastructure

  • Structured cabling planning
  • A single line labelling scheme
  • Rack organisation and airflow
  • Power calculation and redundancy

Network

  • Segmentation by system
  • Access policies and authentication
  • Configuration backups
  • Monitoring and alerting

Security

  • Mandatory replacement of factory passwords
  • Individual accounts and event logging
  • Remote access over secured channels only
  • A software update policy
Questions

What people ask us most often

Are you an official partner of a particular brand?
The technologies listed on this site describe the ecosystems we work with. If a specific project requires authorised supply or a vendor warranty, we clarify that in advance and state it openly.
Can you integrate with an existing system?
In most cases yes, provided the existing equipment supports open protocols. We begin with an audit: which interfaces the system offers and what limitations exist.
Why do you favour open standards?
A closed system limits your options: when it comes time to expand, you have to go back to the same supplier at their prices. Open standards reduce that dependence and extend the system’s useful life.
