THE CONSOLE

Alarm on anything. Report on everything.

Events are pushed, not polled. Operators see the alarms they are authorized to see, priority alarms stay on top. Large exports are generated in the background allowing you to focus on what's important. You are notified when your report is ready to send.

THE VIRTUAL ATTENDANT

A guard at every turnstile, without a guard at every turnstile.

Lost credentials? No problem!

Verify the user and log the reason; open the gate, release the turnstile or open the door. Virtual credentials are logged and the operator who authorized the entry. No passage is unrecorded.

If someone is not in the system at all — an emergency or an unregistered visitor — they are released through a non-user override session. That session stamps the record with the override credential, so no release is ever unnamed. 03 THE VIRTUAL ATTENDANT
