The PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) is a global consortium of over 70 physical security manufacturers and system integrators focused on promoting interoperability of IP-enabled security devices across all segments of the security industry.
The PSIA promotes and develops open specifications, relevant to networked physical security technology, across all industry segments including video, storage, analytics, intrusion, and access control. Its work is analogous to that of groups and consortia that have developed standardized methods that allow different types of equipment to seamlessly connect and share data, such as the USB and Bluetooth.
Participating companies include Allegion, AMAG Technology, Assa Abloy, Convergint, EyeLock, HID Global, Honeywell, Idemia, Johnson Controls, Kastle Systems, Lenel/S2, Mercury Security, Microsoft, Princeton Identity, RightCrowd, Siemens, and Tech Systems.
