Access Easy Controller 2.1, (AEC2.1) is a new generation
IP web based access controller which combines the
unique features of an embedded web server, CCTV
integration and a security system in one complete unit.
The intuitive user interface is easy to navigate minimizing
the learning curve and maximizing the customer’s
experience. The web browser provided with the
computers operating system is all you need to command
the power behind the AEC2.1. Run reports, manage
cardholders, monitor your system for alarms and remotely
unlock and lock doors from anywhere. The ease of
installation and operation of the AEC2.1 is what makes it
the solution of choice.

Functions

Web control Interface

AEC2.1 has a built-in web server that allows monitoring
and programming of control parameters using any
standard Web browser.

Network Ready

AEC2.1 is a network-ready system that connects easily to
any TCP/IP network via an Ethernet port. Any computer on
the network can access the AEC to manage the database,
monitor activity or control devices.

Administration and User

25 maximum user accounts

•

128-bit SSL browser Login encryption

•

Case sensitive user IDs and passwords

•

Administrative Permissions

All user IDs and passwords are encrypted, providing
access to only authorized users to monitor and manage
the system parameters, transaction records, and
activities.

Multiple Entry Access Mode

Three different access modes are available to cater to
your own unique security requirements:

Card only

•

PIN only

•

Card & PIN

•

User-Definable Personal Identification Number (PIN)

Each cardholder is given the flexibility to choose his or her
own 4 to 7 digit personal identification number.

Multi-Functional Card Assignment

The ability of a single card to perform multiple functions:
A card can be programmed to function as

Normal access card

•

Attendance card

•

Arming/disarming card

•

Time Schedules

Up to 255 individual schedules can be programmed to
provide access control functionality such as door locking
or unlocking, PIN function activation or automatic arming/
disarming of an alarm point, sending an Email/SMS,
automatic on/off of lights, aircon etc.. Within each
schedule, four programmable time intervals can be set for
each day of the week, special and regular holidays.

Storage and backup

All event transactions, cardholder data and system control
parameters are stored in the panel onboard nonvolatile
memory. All data will remain intact even if the system
experiences a power failure.

CCTV Integration & Monitoring

AEC2.1 provides seamless integration with IP cameras,
digital and network video recorders. The video integration
allows the system to link certain events to cameras, to
view live or playback video. Up to 3 live video cameras can
be configured to each reader, input/output point and
advance IO function block. The Live video window will
pop up automatically when an alarm event is triggered.
The event video clip can be downloaded to the PC for
later investigation. The video verification function enables
automatic live video display of the access point for
comparison with cardholder’s photo.

Note: The video recording is taken care of by the video
device and not the AEC system.

Intrusion Alarm Monitoring

Provides 2 or 4-state alarm monitoring on all inputs. An
access reader can be programmed as an arming/disarming
reader.

Alarm Input and Relay Outputs Control

Up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs can be software­configured for door strike, sirens, alarm shunting, vehicle
boom barrier controls and a host of other applications.

(64 inputs / outputs are available via the AEC extension.)

Advance IO Programming

Unique programming options are available for input and
output linking based on logic programming. The advanced
programming features include some predefined
applications like monitoring and controlling emergency
exit doors, tracking the counts of the card holder/event or
interlocking operations of multiple doors in a building,
etc. The values inputs and outputs are also not only
restricted to I/O devices but can be derived from other
sources as well. For example, the output of one functional
block can be fed in the input of other making it an
inteconnection (logic) link. With this sophisticated logical
IO programming, the system is ready to handle
automation in virtually any situation.

Anti-passback Capabilities (APB)

Anti-passback is a sophisticated security feature in access
control to prevent fraudulent multiple-entry (e.g. a
cardholder passing his/her card to another person and
tailgating). Three types of APB are available, providing
variable levels of security: Time based APB, Soft APB, and
Full APB. Time based APB prevents the same card from
entering the same door within a set time period
(maximum 60 minutes). Full APB follows strict rules: it
controls access by monitoring the sequence at defined
APB entry and exit readers. Any violation of the
sequencing will prevent access. Soft APB is similar to full
APB except that it will allow exit via exit readers even if a
corresponding entry has not been recorded. Transaction
records in Soft APB will differ from normal transactions.
254 levels of APB are available to group related sets of
APB entry and exit readers. Using APB configuration the
system can provide the master list of the cardholders
violating the APB settings in a zone or area.

Remote System Administration

This enables the user to dial into the AEC2.1 via telephone
modem to perform remote administration. Once
connected, access and control of the AEC2.1 can be
carried out via the web browser.

Internet E-mail (SMTP) & Short Message Service (SMS)
Support

AEC2.1 can send e-mail, based on triggered events or
transactions under normal or alarm conditions. Each mail
message consists of a full description of the event or
alarm, its location, ID and a date/ time stamp. E-mail can
be sent to multiple recipients or relayed as an SMS text
message to mobile phone users via certified modems. This
function provides unlimited, secure, fully-configurable
information transfer to operators.

Note: Requires GSM modem for SMS

Easy Firmware Upgrade

AEC2.1 utilizes flash memory technology to store its
firmware. Upgrades can be carried out by replacing the
physical flash module or by firmware update.
