Controller family

u Cardholder administration of up to 10,000 records

in the database

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 two modules. A
Video System on the one side and an Offline Locking
System [selected markets, only] on the other side.
The Offline Locking System (OLS) is integrated into
the Access PE – so a person can use the same card for
both systems.
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 10 x64 Pro

This can be a single workstation computer or a client­server system with a central server and remote
workstations.

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
licenses.

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.
Image streams can be recorded for later analysis or
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

matrix (quad mode).

Pos. Description

Additional to the positions in the first system overview the video
components are included now.

7 Cameras

8 DVR or encoder

Entrances from special interest can be equipped with
additional video devices providing different options.
The integrated video functionality in Access PE allows
to assign up to five cameras to a door, each to be used
as an ID or surveillance camera. With video verification
the security level is raised by comparing the person's
database image with a live stream while the
environment can be observed for tail-gating or
possible threats.

Offline Locking System (OLS) [selected markets
only]

The OLS uses some components of the Online System.
In the picture above the part with the grey background
shows the devices which are used for both systems.
On the left hand side there are devices of the Online­System and on the right devices of the OLS.

Notice

Writing OLS data onto cards can only be used
with an AMC2 4R4. Systems with Wiegand­interface-controller (AMC 4W) have to be
expanded with at least one AMC2 4R4 and the
corresponded reader.

Milestone XProtect integration

The Access PE can be interfaced with the video
management system XProtect from the company
Milestone. Access control and video related features
will be subject in the integration between products.
Following integration features can be set up between
both products:

• Entrance monitoring with simultaneous live view and

instant playback

• Video verification via the XProtect dialogs incl.

cardholder details

• Mapviewer with entrance control and device status

• Alarm management with integrated access alarm,

maps and video verification

• History event log with correlated video footage and

card holder details

Access control management will remain to be
operated through Access PE in integrated set-up.
Video management and security management will
handled through via the XProtect system. In integrated
set-up the mapviewer, video features and alarm list
will be disabled in the Access PE.
