Bosch has released version 4.8 of its Building Integration System (BIS).
BIS 4.8 offers building managers more integration of fire panels and intrusion panels. Users require only one authorisation badge to control two systems; and can disarm areas of the intrusion system with the same badge on the same reader, without entering a PIN code. Instead of building access control that requires physical touch and raises the risk of virus transmission, BIS 4.8 expands on version 4.7 to now work with three touchless products: face recognition from Idemia, by obtaining a scan from a safe distance and matching features with credentials in an encrypted database; with Idemia’s Morphowave reader, access via a touchless fingerprint scan; and with the mobile access control products from STid and HID, BIS 4.8 allows users to use their ‘phone instead of a card at the reader. For STid’s Mobile ID, the method requires a STid reader, while a Bosch Lectus secure reader works with HID’s Mobile Access product.
BY combining BIS 4.8 with Bosch B and G Series intrusion panels or MAP 5000 panels, users require only one authorisation badge to control two systems; and can disarm areas of the intrusion system with the same badge on the same reader, without entering a PIN code.
New features include:
Integration of the latest Bosch Avenar 2000 and 8000 fire panels and peripherals, along with command and control via BIS, with devices and status shown on maps, and events managed more intuitively via an alarm list;
User authorisation for Bosch B and G Series intrusion panels are managed within BIS for up to 2,000 users on as many as 25 intrusion panels, instead of handling authorisations separately on each of the 25 panels; and
Central overview of all access and B and G Series intrusion authorisations.
