Integrated Systems

Recording associated with doors

by Mark Rowe

The latest product from Vanderbilt, ACTEnterprise, now supports integration with Eventys EX Network Video Recorders (NVRs). Eventys NVRs offer video recording of up to 16 IP cameras. ACTEnterprise allows cameras connected to an Eventys EX NVR to be associated with access control doors.

Any events recorded in the access control log such as “access denied” or “door forced” can be linked with the associated footage stored on the recorder. Events on a door with a camera associated will display a camera icon which allows clicking on the camera icon to replay the footage.

The main features associated with this integration platform are live video display and playback recordings. The live video display allows switching between the video camera sources connected to Eventys EX and displaying the live video in the ACTEnterprise software. With playback recordings, it is possible to select an event in the ACTEnterprise Event-Database and playback the linked recording.

Vanderbilt says this blend of access control and video surveillance will make the day-to-day management of multiple security systems more efficient as it minimises the use of systems for different tasks by combining operations in a single interface.

Information is structured in one place for situational awareness. The integration also improves response times it is claimed for monitoring alarms. Users can link the live video to real-time access logs. For example, this feature enables users to see who has badged at the door to get in but has been denied access. Up to 500 Eventys EX NVRs and 4000 IP cameras can be connected to ACTEnterprise without the need for an extra PC or a server. In applications that include Eventys EX NVRs, ACTEnterprise software integrates the recorders into the access control system, for verifying alarm events.
