S2 Security, the US-based IP-based access control, video management and mobile security management systems company, and Allegion, the safety and security products firm, have announced S2 NetBox series product support for Schlage NDE wireless locks. S2 NetBox access control and event monitoring system users can now manage and control the locks using Allegion’s ENGAGE Gateway and Bluetooth.
Mike Riegelman, vice president of business development at S2 Security, said: “We’re excited to offer support for and sell the popular Schlage NDE wireless locks. NDE locksets, in particular, offer real-time lockdown capability, which is an advancement in wireless solutions.”
The integration allows users to manage access control and event monitoring, such as real-time lockdowns, from S2 NetBox without requiring third-party hardware. The Schlage NDE combines the lock, credential reader, door position sensor and request to exit (REX) into a single unit. Suitable the companies say for interior doors, NDE wireless locks can be retrofitted into standard doors without drilling more holes, the firms add. And, these locks connect to a smartphone for set up using the ENGAGE mobile app.
And Brad Aikin, electronics portfolio leader at Allegion, said: “The integration with S2 NetBox brings new opportunities to both companies and, most importantly, to our customers. The access control system seamlessly works with Schlage NDE locks to provide advanced security capabilities at every opening. Plus, customers enjoy the many conveniences of using credentials throughout the building.”
NetBox software Version 4.9.08 is now available for S2 Security Certified Integrators to download on S2 Support Central. For more on S2 products, visit www.s2sys.com. For more on Allegion products, visit us.allegion.com.
