Apollo Security showcased integration software at ISC West 2011

Apollo Security will be demonstrating advanced Universal Video Integration, OPC support, FIPS 201 and TWIC support at ISC West. Contact Apollo if you would like to schedule a private demonstration of these developments.Among the products on show will be Apollo Security's APACS software. The APACS software is designed for Apollo-based integrated security systems. It provides management of the access control system and performs information exchange and coordination between all subsystems, including: alarm monitoring, fire protection, analogue / IP live and recorded video, HVAC, paging, lighting, elevator control, visitor management and badging. In addition, APACS also provides data exchange with third party human resources, time and attendance and visitor management packages. Using PC with the Windows based operating system; APACS effectively performs in both small single computer systems and large-scale integrated client-server systems using TCP/IP protocol. In multi-user applications a powerful computer is used as a dedicated database server to process queries from all APACS workstations. Users can select between Firebird, Interbase, Oracle and MS SQL databases. APACS software is available in three packages: Pro, Standard and Lite. APACS Lite provides basic reliable access control. If features text-based on-line event display, alarm linkage on hardware level, event retrieval and sorting, elevator control and other functions.APACS Standard includes graphic maps, alarm display, live video, hardware status tree and badging.APACS Pro is an advanced security management software package. It integrates access control with digital and analogue video equipment, visitor management systems, HVAC and lighting control systems, public announcement and paging systems. Distinctive feature of APACS Pro is built in reaction mechanism. Any event, time zone, card or PIN read can trigger a reaction. Possible reactions can be DVR/CCTV control by signals from readers or alarm inputs, HVAC and lightning system control by time zones, audible alarms to operator, transmission of alarm messages to pagers, roll call, execution of external programs or activation of external systems. Reactions can be unconditional - immediate response to specified event, or conditional - an operator will be prompted with a list of possible reactions; default reaction will be executed if operator does not respond to the prompt. Reaction mechanism removes some of the operator workload and increases security, ensuring that important events will be noted. For example, APACS Pro can automatically arm the building as the last person leaves, and turn on the lights and air conditioning as the first person is granted access in the morning, or it can be configured so that personnel can use a special PIN (i.e. 911) to notify guards of emergency situations from the nearest reader with a keypad.Other APACS Pro features include live video verification, roll call and extended personnel reports. With its flexible modular structure, user friendly design, single and multi-user capabilities, and three different options, APACS can provide a solution that meets the customer's requirements today and in the future. The APACS software package consists of six modules: Alarm Mode, System Configuration, Cardholder Database, Report Generation, Visitor Management Web Interface, and External Reports. This special modular structure provides additional security and convenience by distributing tasks to difference operators. The systems can be monitored, controlled and configured from any workstation, provided the required module is installed and the operator has the appropriate permission.Features:Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7 operating systemsFirebird, Oracle or MS SQL (including MS SQL 2008) database management systemSingle and multi-user applicationsMore than 50 workstationsIntuitive, user-friendly interfaceUnrestricted number of controllers, readers, and alarm panelsModular structureMultiple card formatsOnline help255 access levels, 6 access levels per card, individual access levels (precision)Elevator ControlDuress communicationDatabase conversion utilities

No cost IP based access control software from Borer
No cost IP based access control software from Borer

Borer has released Fusion SE, a PC based access control software package for users of small-to-medium access control systems. Fusion SE Access Control Software runs on a PC workstation operating under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Fusion SE provides similar functionality to the Enterprise and Profession versions of Fusion. The Fusion SE software is free and there are no restrictions as to the numbers of doors you can connect to the system or the number of people you are entitled to enrol onto the Fusion database. The system is made easy to deploy because all door controllers and field devices communicate with the PC hosting Fusion software via the users LAN and structured cabling infrastructure. It is also simple to commission as new field devices (card readers and controllers) log on and self configure on power up. Fusion has an intuitive easy-to-use GUI and Wizard style operator interface enabling full management and control of the Security Access System. Fusion supports many combinations of access level and time zone operation. It supports both profile and role based access rules making the planning, administration and management of access rights simpler. Fusion provides the operator with a comprehensive set of tools to support the remote operation of door locking/unlocking and alarm setting and resetting. In addition a powerful field Programmable Scripting Engine enables Fusion to support the integration of Camera and Intruder systems to access control enabling many complex functions, such as out-of-hour key holder access, to be supported on even the most basic system. Uniquely, in the security industry, the delivery of power to field devices, door controllers and door locks is controlled and monitored by the Fusion software. This enables users to monitor and manage the energy consumed by each door lock and door controller connected to the system providing cost savings amounting to tens of pounds per door per year. Fusion also provides a graphical view of almost every element of the system down to the status of each individual input such as a magnetic door monitor or tamper sensors. This is an invaluable aid for both on-site and remote over the Internet problem identification and solving.
