Access Easy Controller 2.1

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.

4 readers expandable to 32 readers

Supports up to 20,480 card holders and 100,000 transactions

Classify cardholders based on 254 access groups

255 time schedules, 32 regular and 32 special holidays

Anti-passback (APB) capabilities

8 Alarm Zones and attendance capture

Intrusion monitoring up to 64 input and control points

E-mail or SMS Alert for critical events

CCTV Integration, Live view, archive retrieval, event verification and in window PTZ

Support for multiple languages

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.
