Covered systems include Physical Access Control Systems (PACS), Video Surveillance/Video Management Systems (VSS/VMS), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), duress alarms, intercoms, turnstiles, gate arms, elevator-control interfaces, and the associated network infrastructure supporting these systems — primarily built on the Lenel OnGuard and Milestone XProtect platforms.
