Evolving from the StarWatchâ„¢ technology suite installed at 50+ U.S. military facilities worldwide, the StarWatch SMS platform offers versatile solutions for modern security challenges, from government to commercial applications. Under a single interface, security professionals are able to optimize legacy systems, comply with current industry standards, and counter future threats. Ensuring that previous investments in security infrastructure are not wasted, StarWatch SMS supports the framework of existing systems, easily integrating with installed equipment, including copper communications channels and analog cameras.
