Lenel Systems International, the US-based integrated access and video product company, will present Prism, its open Internet protocol (IP) video management solution (VMS), at the upcoming International Fire and Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC). Prism is based on an intuitive user interface and features OnGuard compatibility. Lenel is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
Offered in three configurations (standard, professional and enterprise), and available as a stand-alone VMS or integrated with OnGuard, Prism is described as scalable, to meet evolving video needs. Prism fits in an enterprise video platform by offering customers a single VMS for small to large installations, whether they are using Lenel network video recorders or UltraView recording engines.
James Wheeler, regional director, Lenel UK and Ireland, said: “By combining OnGuard and Prism industry-leading products with more than 100 open access alliance partners (OAAP), close to 100 OAAP-certified products and supporting more than 300 third-party cameras, customers can tailor the Lenel solution according to their specific security demands.”
Lenel will also highlight access-intrusion integration based on the Advisor Master panel range, a proprietary intrusion platform. The Advisor Master panels interface with OnGuard to provide functionality similar to the already available interfacing intrusion products. The Advisor Master platform carries the EMEA-required intrusion certifications EN-50131. The functionality provided includes secondary alarm monitoring, area arming and disarming, and zone bypassing and unbypassing.
Integrated locking system (ILS) locks have been built from the ground up with OnGuard integration in mind. Lenel ILS extends security systems’ reach by bringing traditional online access control to electromechanical locks, helping to address the need to control all interior doors under the same system. Engineered with a modular design, Lenel ILS allows for a variety of configurations the makers say. Reader type, wireless connectivity, handles, finishes and chassis type are user-selectable options.
OnGuard offers real-time mobile monitoring of OnGuard alarms on mobile devices, offering a mobile-friendly look, feel and interface. Users are able to receive and acknowledge alarms on a variety of mobile platforms anywhere a data-capable wireless connection is available. This is integrated with OnGuard permissions, segmentation access and monitoring zone assignment and includes complete reporting capabilities on specific mobile devices and user transactions within OnGuard.
“For many of our customers managing complex sites, the possibility to integrate certified products into one common interface, to simplify operations and to improve overall security in an application is a must. Therefore, we look forward to showcase our OnGuard open architecture,” Wheeler added.
