Door Entry

Proximity access control

by Mark Rowe

Videx has launched a new off-line, stand-alone proximity access control system. MiAccess is the firm says for buildings that have single or multiple entrances. This includes offices, residential homes and small guest houses, as well as fitness centres, caravan parks and small hotels.

Steve Natton, Special Projects Manager at Videx, said: “The beauty of MiAccess is that it can be part of a multiple entrance (80 maximum) system without the need to cable between devices. This means that it’s extremely easy to install and very cost effective too, ideal for smaller installations saving installation time while still maintaining system flexibility.”

A free software (PROA-MS for access control and PROH-MS for hotels and guest houses) allows you to configure the access levels and user rights, and to view reports. Access rights of each user are stored on the Mifare cards. The system can be managed from the PC programme, reducing the installation cost and complications associated with routing cables around a building. Multiple sites can be managed from the same PC, making this suitable the firm says for engineers who maintain several installations. The system also allows the management of all access points to be controlled from your PC using read/write Mifare cards to transfer data to and from the readers when required; or, data can be transferred using the USB port on each reader.

Steve added: “This is a complete user-friendly and competitive access control solution. It’s perfect for sites where an online solution cannot be used due to cable restraints, or when a network system is simply not needed. The installation is much easier because the only cabling requirements are to the lock release mechanism and a power supply.”

Systems require only one or more Mifare proximity readers (available in a surface silver or black finish and in a flush white, silver or grey finish), the management software, Mifare cards and a USB desktop reader for enrolment. An optional exit push button with a built-in remote relay is also available. Visit: www.videxuk.com.
