The alarm manufacturer Ajax Systems has made an OS Malevich 2.13.1 update.
You can now create keypad access codes for users that have no account in an Ajax security system. You don’t need to register an account for office workers or cleaners to manage keypads: just assign a separate access code in the hub settings. You can create a duress code and manage access to areas of a site as well as activate Night mode, if the group mode is enabled for an Ajax hub. Those service personnel will have access only to the rooms that require maintenance.
You can assign a name and ID to the access code for Ajax keypads. A servicing or management company can use IDs to grant its employees or contractors access to multiple hubs and track their activities at different objects. Event logs and notifications in the PRO Desktop app display the name of the person or company as specified in the settings and an ID if Translator or third-party monitoring station software is used.
For example, a company serves 20 houses with Ajax security systems and keypads installed. The company has two cleaning contractors. Each has a unique six-digit access code to control the security systems of all the houses. When house number seven is to be cleaned and contractor A picks up the job, the monitoring operator can see in PRO Desktop when the team of contractor A begins cleaning house seven and when the object is armed. The contractors know their actions are logged — this reduces the risk of improper use of access and service delays.
In the Photo by Scenario function, this update lets MotionCam PhOD detectors take photos in case of fire detector alarms and when any opening detectors, panic buttons and the like are triggered.
Hubs will be updated within five weeks after the release. The update is installed automatically when the security system is disarmed and the hub is connected to power supply and Internet. Note that the new features will not be available for the Hub control panel.
If you have not received the update, check if you have enabled automatic firmware update in the hub settings. If you have any difficulties, contact the Ajax support team – 24/7.
