CEM Systems, part of Tyco Security Products, has released version 6.7 of AC2000 SE (Standard Edition) and AC2000 AE (Airport Edition) access control and security management software.
Andrew Fulton, Senior Director of Global Sales, CEM Systems, said: “CEM AC2000 is a powerful access control system that is designed with the customer in mind. The enhanced features and functionality in this new release are based on valuable customer feedback and will ensure that AC2000 continues to provide a flexible access control solution that helps increase security, improve business efficiency and operational effectiveness for CEM sites around the world.”
New in version 6.7 are updates to AC2000 WEB, CEM’s suite of browser based applications for AC2000. The AC2000 WEB menu has a more intuitive look and feel. Besides the current suite of WEB applications, AC2000 now provides a WEB Zonal Control application for anti-tailgating. This new web based tool discourages tail-gating or passing back of cards to aid policy control of cardholder movements. The AC2000 WEB Visitors application has also been updated with a ‘Batch Visitor Request Import’ tool and new WEB Reports. All these features continue to provide the AC2000 system, through a web browser.
AC2000 v6.7 software includes more support for emerald, CEM’s touch screen intelligent access terminal. emerald features a reader and controller in one, integrated VoIP (Voice over IP) intercom and remote applications that enable elements of AC2000 software to be accessed at the door. This latest v6.7 software release offers customers ‘Live video pop-up on intercom request’, display of company advertising messages while emerald is idle and six new remote applications. When integrated with CCTV, operators can now see who they are talking to when a user initiates an emerald intercom request.
At v6.7, emerald supports the display of company advertisements which can be uploaded to AC2000 in JPG format as well as offering six new remote applications including Suppress/Enable Alarms for filtering alarms during maintenance, and One Shot which lets security remotely open doors from an emerald terminal for a short time. Other new applications include Open/Close to enable or disable PIRs or lights with a simple swipe and Online Status which allows users to view the status of all readers directly from an emerald terminal.
Another new feature in v6.7 is alarm escalation, allowing unacknowledged alarms from multiple sites to be forwarded to a supervisory operator workstation after a set time scale. New ‘Soft Anti-Passback’ also sends a silent alarm to the operator workstation to notify of access cards passed back in breach of policy. This can be applied on a reader by reader basis or per cardholder. Visit www.cemsys.com
