Door Entry

Door controls on mobile app

by Mark Rowe

Tyco Security Products has released version 6.04 of Kantech’s EntraPass security management system. It features a redesign of the EntraPass Go mobile app that brings together door controls, live video and intrusion on a single home screen.

For managing various day-to-day security tasks, EntraPass Go has a new side bar and home page including ‘intrusion operations’ for arming and disarming partitions, ability to connect and stream live video from INTEVO with exacqVision, and swipe-and-lock.

This newest version of EntraPass continues integration with Tyco Security Products’ DSC PowerSeries Neo intrusion system, adding virtual zones that allow the DSC intrusion panel to take data from an access control system and transfer the information to the central monitoring station. A user can eliminate dual sets of sensors for access control and intrusion — now the information for both can be transmitted via the access control sensors from EntraPass to DSC PowerSeries Neo and on to the central station. This gives the monitoring centre improved situational awareness, the product company says. EntraPass 6.04 also provides an IP-based link between the panels to complement the traditional hard-wired option.

The integration of exacqVision video management system (VMS) into EntraPass 6.04 combines video into access control for management and monitoring of building entry points. Kantech EntraPass Go gives exacqVision users the ability to view a list of connected cameras and stream live video from exacqVision on the home screen. Users can view critical video details as close as desired with the new interactive ‘pinch to zoom’.

The EntraPass Go mobile app remembers a user’s last actions, returning to the last door or camera touched. The app allows for click-through and drill-down among the components, displaying all the cameras and partitions available.

Rafael Schrijvers, Product Marketing Manager, EMEA, Access Control, Tyco Security Products, said: “EntraPass 6.04 is a highly capable integration platform that allows users to put together a total integrated solution that operates from a mobile, web or traditional client. The redesigned app elevates the user experience to another level. Just by opening their app, a security manager can respond to a call while also viewing video, granting access, opening doors and even disarming the entire security system, if necessary.”

EntraPass 6.04’s improved web client offers the same powerful intrusion features provided by the mobile app, as well as enhanced video playback and export capabilities, which allows users to zoom in and out in the playback mode and download video clips.

Download the freely distributed Kantech EntraPass Go app for iOS (Apple) devices from the iTunes App Store.
