System overview
Access PE provides self contained access control for
small and medium-sized companies. Its installation is
extremely simple and fast. There is no need to install
and administer a database system. The system is easy
to use and enables a person with minimal training to
create badges and administer access rights in a very
short time. Specific event logging and reporting allows
you to trace who was when and where on your
company’s grounds.
You can choose your readers and cards from the same
bundle of devices, which are supported by Bosch’s
medium to large scale BIS/ACE Access Engine
systems, thereby safeguarding your investment for
future extensions. Card personalization is included in
Access PE, providing you with the means to design
your badges, to perform image acquisition with USBcameras and to use most commercially available Card
Printers.
In addition to given standardized door models it is
possible to use extended I/O functionality to exert
influence on diverse conditions while monitoring
inputs or setting outputs.
u Graphical location map with device control via both
maps and device tree
u Alarm management with details via alarm list and
animated GIFs on interactive location maps
u Video verification, video alarm verification, and
video monitoring of live and recorded events
The Access PE offers a map viewer, which provides a
graphical representation of the premises with device
control directly from the map. (e.g., doors opened or
cameras activated) Alarm events are queued in a list
and are easily located with the support of navigation
maps and animated icons.
The Access PE can be extended with a Video System.
Through integrated video functionality and using the
wide range of Bosch IP devices an operator for
example can do a video verification by comparing live
streams with the database image of the person
requesting for access.
Access PE runs on a standard PC with a Windows
operating system (Windows 2008 Server, Windows 7,
Windows XP SP2 Professional). This can be a single
workstation computer or a client-server system with a
central server and remote workstations.
Notice
For video integration Microsoft Windows 7 can
only be used in 32-bit mode.

Optional features
The optional features listed below can be added to
meet specific customer requirements. They are usable
with the Access PE base system, but require additional

Video
Any violation, such as door open time exceeds, will
provide alarm images for further investigation. Storage
of those alarm images and retrieval of alarm archives
using Bosch video storage systems are supported as
well.
In the case of alarm events, video cameras provide live
images to the operator, ensuring a proper response.

used as evidence. The recorded streams are linked in
the logbook for fast and accurate retrieval.
Additional functionalities are:
• Alarm verification – providing live images caused
through typical alarms around a door.
• Video playback from archives reporting on access
requests or alarm situation with minimum search
time.
• Live video can be selected from single camera or 2x2
