ievo Ltd, the provider of biometric fingerprint products for access control, has joined the Genetec technology partnership programme. That’s designed to provide integrated fingerprint authentication for access control for users of the Genetec Security Center, the Canadian company’s platform that combines video management systems (VMS) with access control infrastructures, VoIP communications and analytics.
ievo reports that its engineers and programmers have been working with Genetec to integrate ievo registration and user management software with Security Center. This allows for access using only one set of registered (Genetec) credentials, rather than having to manage multiple credentials on one system. Security Center communicates with ievo systems via the ievo central SQL distribution software, so that the correct access and permissions for user profiles are distributed to access hardware.
The firms say that given the cost and complexity of hardwired access control installations, this integration means that enrolling users and profile management is cost-effective, and provides an alternative choice of access control solution from traditional ‘cards’ and ‘PINs’ systems.
Shaun Oakes, Managing Director for ievo Ltd, said: “Not only are we integrating two leading solutions for enhanced access control infrastructures, but we are also expanding our portfolio of working partnerships which will allow us to provide our system installers and end-users a wider selection of beneficial access control solutions.”
And Francois Brouillet, Commercial Manager – Access Control, Genetec said: “Our technology integration relationship with ievo for access control efficiencies comes at an exciting time for Genetec, and will provide greater flexibility and choice for our end-users, adding another competitive edge for our unified security platform in what is an evolving marketplace.”
The integration means that registered Genetec credentials can be ported and used in the ievo user enrolment software. This will allow management of user permissions and credentials from one system. Visit: www.ievoreader.com.
