» » BORN IN 2012 FROM THE ‘SPIN
off’ of Schlage Electronic
Security from Ingersoll Rand,
Vanderbilt Industries promises
“agile, adaptable, dependable
security solutions to meet your
requirements”. Providing a range of
physical and cyber security products
to sectors including healthcare,
education, manufacturing,
government, banking, and civil
defence - to name a few - Vanderbilt
has won a slew of industry awards
(for intrusion detection, control
top panels, and innovation) in its
less-than-six years of existence.
Acquiring Siemens’ Security
Products in 2015, and joining
forces with ACT the year after that,
Vanderbilt launched its first partner
loyalty program, Aspire, in 2017.
But for a company with such a
short history, the secret to its success
undoubtedly seems to rely on its
forward-thinking approach when
it comes to ‘multiple layer’ security
solutions, protection of people
and property, and the innovative
software packages that get to work
behind the scenes of its physical
security hardware.
In this Security Systems special,
The Locksmith Journal gets a
glimpse into a relatively young
company, that manages to stay one
step ahead of the ever-advancing
modern-day threat to our personal
security, data protection, and private
possessions…
A SOLID INVESTMENT
When it comes to a complete
security system that protects the
public, personnel, and products,
with a combination of access
control, surveillance, and alarm
systems, a bank provides the perfect
case study. Vanderbilt describes its
own banking solution as “a solid
investment” with security systems
that “meet the complex and unique
requirements of the financial
environment”.
Recently, the company’s SPC
security system was put to task when
Vanderbilt was asked to work on
a complete infrastructure security
project for Italy’s Banca di Cesena
Credito Cooperativo. The Cesena
branch of the BCC consortium is HQ
of over 300 not-for-profit financial
organisations, with more than
40,000 branches, that have proudly
served local Italian communities for
over 130 years.
“Security in banking i s an
essential issue. It requires
thoughtful attention and procedure,
while allowing room for agility,
adaptability, and dependability
– flagship traits of the Vanderbilt
brand. Banks wish to operate
in an open and friendly layout
while ultimately safeguarding
their customers, staff, and assets.
Vanderbilt’s solutions respond
to these expectations and enable
effective safeguarding foundations
to laid,” says Vanderbilt. For this
particular project, “the bank [BCC,
Cesena] wanted a system that
offered integration between access
control and intrusion detection, as
well as being reliable, easy to install,
and futureproof.”
Cue the Vanderbilt SPC. First, EN
50131-accredited SPC5000 (which
can be expanded up to 128 zones/
outputs, 16 system keypads/doors,
and eight verification zones), and
SPC6000 (which can be expanded
up to 512 zones/outputs, 64 system
keypads/doors, and 16 verification
zones) control panels were installed
and integrated to the SPC Connect
cloud. Next, a selection of financial-
According to www.vanderbiltindustries.com:
“Today around 85% of all alarms detected and
reported by intrusion alarms are false alarms –
no incident has happened. This increases the
burden on intervention forces, which leads to
longer response times and ultimately reduces
the very security the system was installed
to satisfy. The clear majority of these false
alarms are not caused by the malfunction of
a detection device, but by the user. Reducing
these figures is becoming critical to the future
acceptance and performance of intrusion
systems. In combating this inconvenience,
Central Monitoring Stations (CMS) - working
with Vanderbilt’s SPC intrusion system - quickly,
efficiently, and correctly identify the source of
the alarm.
