If the asset enters a wake-up field without its assigned custodian, an alarm message is generated. The response can be to lock a door, sound an audible alarm, send electronic messages, or even call the authorities. The activation fields define various control zones within the facility. Tags can be set up as authorized or restricted by zone, prohibiting asset and people movement as desired. Various activities can be programmed for automated alerting, in which case the software sends an alert message when specific conditions are met.
Digital video is recorded at strategic points in the facility.
Video from any recorded camera is searchable by location or time and can be instantly retrieved. Also, a control zone can be integrated with the video database so any tag read will have an associated video clip for verification. There are various aspects to the value proposition for the providers. In the asset security area, the value proposition for the system compares the cost of tagging the assets and utilizing network video to prevent the loss of one of thousands of machines in the center. The value of any ONE server that is lost or stolen would likely exceed the value of the entire system itself.
