New from Tyco Security Products is Kantech EntraPass Go Install. That’s a free mobile application that uses intuitive QR codes, and pre-populated fields to decrease installation time and lower the total cost of ownership, the developers say. The application can be associated with other security devices, such as cameras managed by exacqVision, zones managed by DSC PowerSeries Neo intrusion panels and Kantech card readers.
Kantech EntraPass Go Install allows installers and end users to connect to their Kantech EntraPass servers by selecting from a list of servers or adding one manually to configure Kantech KT-1 and KT-400 door controllers. Configuration is done by scanning a QR code that contains the controller’s MAC address and serial number, enabling remote configuration of controllers as well as doors without a desktop computer.
EThe app also makes configuration of KT-1 and KT-400 door controllers easier and quicker, according to the firm, with app-based test activities that generate commissioning reports once all tests are completed. Test activities include activating buzzers, card swipes and locking and unlocking doors. Once testing is complete, the commissioning report can be saved with system photos that verify tests have been passed. The commissioning report provides set-up verification to system integrators, end users and technicians who support the system so that they know the system has been deployed correctly, so as to limit call backs.
Rafael Schrijvers, Access Control Product Marketing Manager, EMEA, Tyco Security Products said: “Kantech has always focused on delivering reliable and user-friendly products that focus on smoother installation and configuration. You’ll see Kantech’s signature pairing of ease of use and product quality with EntraPass Go Install, plus powerful device associations that integrate access control, video and intrusion together for a total security solution.”
The mobile app lets a user associate other security devices – Kantech doors, relays, inputs, Exacq video and DSC PowerSeries Neo zones. Visit www.kantech.com.
