The advantages of having a Network or PC based access control system far outweigh a stand alone system.

It is from this central point of administration that a system can be controlled. By creating a network of card readers around a site it is possible to control the movements of all individuals in a site.

Cards can be added and deleted with ease. Central control of the system allows a card to be added with a few simple commands to all readers on the installation and deleted in the same way, instead of adding individually on a stand alone system. The updates are instantaneous .

NETWORK BASED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

A live Audit trail can be viewed from any client enabling up to date information on the status of the system and a chronological log of any transactions.

Flexible time zones can be added and updated at anytime through the PC enabling each door on site to be setup according to the needs of the administrator.

Manual commands can be implemented through simple options on the PC software. Examples include door override, where individual or grouped doors can be locked/unlocked and the click of a mouse. Doors can be permanently restricted or set up for card and pin access only.

Reports can be setup to run on a schedule of the users choice; daily/weekly/annually, or at an individual request.

Integration of the access can be carried out enabling links to CCTV, Fire, Intruder and Lift systems, thus giving complete security coverage of a site.
