Industry Challenges
Cannabis businesses face security challenges that vary by state, facility type and operational risk:
BCD Solutions Solve the Industry’s Big Challenges
BCD supports cannabis security projects with capabilities built for regulated, high-risk environments:
- Government experience: We supply workstations, servers and network switches compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). Our experience with regulated environments helps integrators select dispensary video surveillance solutions that align with project-specific security requirements.
- Integration and control: BCD solutions support leading VMS platforms, including Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon and Salient, so integrators can deliver centralized system management for cannabis facilities.
- Cyber-hardened certification: Our cyber-hardened certification enables us to provide integrated systems that address growing cybersecurity threats in the cannabis sector.
Featured BCD Solutions for the Cannabis Sector
BCD understands the unique needs of security integrators working with growers, cultivators and dispensaries. Our solutions include:
- High Availability (HA), Zero-Loss Failover On-Premises Surveillance: With Milestone XProtect®, Surveillance HA supports reliable video recording and fast footage review, helping teams identify security threats sooner. Choose from symmetrical or asymmetrical failover configurations to ensure your clients don’t miss minutes or hours. Symmetrical configurations link two servers to act like one. If the actively recording primary server fails, the second server automatically starts recording from the same camera, minimizing recording interruptions. With asymmetrical failover configurations, clients can reroute the camera’s feed to a secondary server if the primary server fails.
- DEEPSTOR® External Storage: If your state requires weeks or months of archived video recordings, DEEPSTOR® external storage combines hybrid cloud capabilities with self-healing technology. It can support scalable storage, stronger data protection and more efficient system management with less hands-on human intervention. Real-time data tiering supports management of hot and cold data. Redundant fans, drives, storage controllers and power supplies can be replaced without powering down the entire system, allowing for ongoing operation.Â
