PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) is designed to provide integrated security. It acts as a platform that collects and correlates events from existing disparate security systems and information systems such as video, access control, sensors, analytics, networks, and building systems. The goal of PSIM is to empower personnel to accurately identify and proactively resolve situations.

Operating with an open architecture, PSIM can integrate data from any number of disparate security devices or systems, regardless of vendors. This allows it to combine information from various types of equipment, such as surveillance systems, access control systems, perimeter security systems, and fire and intrusion alarm systems, into a common platform and a single interface.

PSIM functions as a single facility monitoring center. It provides centralized control of distributed objects and serves as a single worktool for all security systems. This integrated approach facilitates rapid response in an emergency situation by providing a single interface for the operator. PSIM supports accurate and prompt decision-making and investigation of incidents by combining different information sources.

Key capabilities often found in systems integrated by a PSIM platform that are relevant to complex environments like airports include comprehensive monitoring from various sources like video, access control, FIAS (Fire and Intrusion Alarm System), PSS (Perimeter Security System), and analytics. PSIM allows for advanced analytics and can support functions like face recognition and licence plate recognition. It also supports intelligent search for incident investigation based on data from all integrated subsystems. PSIM is designed for unlimited scalability for adding hardwares. It generates reports for post-event analysis.
