Vanderbilt has a new version of its Aliro Internet protocol (IP) based access control product.
Aliro Market Package 1.15 provides refinements to the previous product, launched at the end of 2014, while introducing new features for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This is the first rebranded access control system from Vanderbilt since its acquisition of Security Products from Siemens in June 2015.
According to the company Aliro offers a transparent architecture with intuitive mobile applications. With its flexible operating concept, the system can be managed from virtually any Internet connected device and joining the 11 European languages already offered, Market Package 1.15 contains four new languages: Russian, Polish, Czech and Greek. Aliro can assign each user their own language.
The software automatically detects access control units in the system and assigns them IP network addresses. The product can manage up to 512 doors, 10,000 users and 100,000 access cards.
Aliro uses MiFare DESfire card readers, featuring an integrated OLED display which shows messages and instructions based on user credentials and language, thus allowing direct interaction with the card holder. With a light frame control, the reader enables the use of customisable colours and sequencing for different types of events. Furthermore, they can be configured for individuals or groups, using a unique code that can allow entry into areas for specific periods of time, without an access control card being required. A USB connected enrolment reader allows system administrators to register new cards through a plug and play device.
Also new is its roll call feature. In the event of an emergency where a building has to be evacuated, the product can provide a muster report, about who is in the building and where they are. The report produces a list of all personnel identified as being in a building or area, giving designated staff a roll call that can be used to check that everyone has evacuated.
By placing card readers at all evacuation assembly points, personnel can register their presence, thereby allowing safety representatives to focus on those on the roll call that have not registered. The Aliro mobile app can also display who is registering at a muster point using notifications. If anti-passback is in operation and a person didn’t badge out correctly, their pass will be reset once they have registered.
Matt Haynes, Global Access Sales Specialist at Vanderbilt, said: ‘The response to Aliro has been fantastic and the additional features in Market Package 1.15 make it an even more attractive proposition for those looking for a flexible and functional IP based access control solution. This latest development is part of an ongoing improvement process and which will see further enhancements announced in due course.’
