A perimeter lobby door can be unlocked each morning allowing guests and employees free access to the main lobby and reception area and then can be locked each evening to prevent unauthorized access. On weekends and holidays, the doors will remain locked according to the schedule set by the user. Zone security has been added to Series II-PC Access Control system software version 1.5. Using an alarm control panel located in an area common to the shared suites, users can activate and deactivate their own perimeter security systems using a card reader located next to the control panel. The easy to use control panel is similar in design to the panels we are all familiar with in home alarm systems.
Users are only able to activate and deactivate an alarm for their own individually secured area.
You can also create both local and remote notification alarms to warn people in a secured area that the alarm has been activated and is about to be armed. This gives you time to leave the area without setting off the alarm. All alarm activations and deactivations are, of course, logged into the system for complete documentation. Individual zones can also be created within an individual facility so that some areas remain secured while other areas allow free movement of personnel. Anyone who has to work late can deactivate specific alarms internal to his or her department while leaving other departments' security, and the perimeter security, intact.
