Group 4 Technology (G4Tec) introduces the new Symmetry Edge Network Controller (EN-1DBC). The firm calls it the first product in a new generation of network friendly building access control devices.
Joining G4Tec’s Symmetry Edge Network security products, the EN-1DBC integrates with the company’s Symmetry Security Management system.
The EN-1DBC provides an IP-centric solution for controlling access to a building. By using Power over Ethernet (PoE) the EN-1DBC eliminates the requirement for a separate power supply, simplifying the installation process, the makers add. The firm says that features are to help save time, reduce administration overheads, react more quickly to required changes and allow customisation of the system to requirements.
Access rights for up to 50,000 cardholders are managed by each EN-1DBC and when integrated with the Symmetry Security Management software, access codes can also be used to add more security levels. Features include a bulk amendments facility that allows access rights to be applied to large numbers of card holders simultaneously, making the system suitable it is claimed for large campuses and high security facilities where the threat level may quickly change.
"The EN-1DBC is next generation IP enabled building access control" said G4Tec, Chief Technology Officer, David Ella. "Fully integrating with our Symmetry Security Management solution, the EN-1DBC provides the complete security package."
By incorporating flash memory, the EN-1DBC allows new features to easily be added while the hardware itself is fully backwards compatible with all versions of Symmetry Security Management software.
