Tech note · Plugin-based integration vs. true unification How plugin-based integrations work A plugin integration aims to bring different security applications together in the same UI. The challenge is that users won't always have access to the full scope of information or capabilities available within the connected system. These integrations are also prone to failure following upgrades, creating bigger issues for users as systems evolve. For example, in some cases, an access control plugin will only display third- party access control entities, events, and alarms. A video translator plugin may only push video and events to a third-party access solution. In many cases, users may still need to log in to different vendor systems to handle monitoring, reporting, and configuration tasks.
