Door Access Management |
| |
Maintain total control and surveillance of all door access in your secure areas directly from any of the 32 connected client workstations. All door access activity is transmitted directly to your computer screen. You can also give specific commands to doors such as opening and closing them directly, sealing them off from further access, etc. Features include : |
| |
 |
Anti-Passback Options - In order to prevent a single user card from being re-used to allow more than one person through a door access area, Anti-passback forces users who enter a secure area with a card to leave the area before the card may be used to enter that secure area again. |
|
Inhibit Access and Permanent Lock Release - Permanently lock and unlock particular doors instantly on demand in response to specific events such as an escaping thief or a fire that demands immediate evacuation or to facilitate the movement of furniture through a particular route. |
|
Special door configurations such as dual card mode, where in order to access a door, a higher level "escort" card is required, and Inter-Lock configurations, where one has to enter and close one door before another door ahead will be unlocked. |
|

|
|
Real Time Intrusion Alarm Monitoring |
| |
Receive alert messages regarding security breaches on your security system, such as unauthorized intrusions or device tampering, as well as a map of the immediate vicinity of the alert highlighting the location (s) of the occurrences directly on your computer screen in real time as they occur. This helps your response time and assists you in organizing and implementing a response such as contacting the police or deploying security personnel to the scene. |

|
Design and customize your Security System to your own preferences |
| |
|
Customize your floor plan interface: Imports image of your floor plans and add animated security device icons according to their physical locations onto the layout. |
|
Event Driven Output: Define special behaviour on your own security system in response to certain events through the use of Event Driven Output. This feature allows you to program a set of responses on the output points of your security system upon the occurrence of a particular transaction type detected by a reader. For example, upon the detection of the first valid entry into a room, the room lights, air-conditioning and power to room devices can be automatically activated. |
|
Reaction Tables: You can also customize your own Reaction Tables, a special logic programming control that automatically performs a set of actions when certain conditions occur. Reaction Tables are very flexible and robust and can be programmed for any purpose one can think of. Any device attached to the system such as security doors or alarms and third party equipment connected to the Matrix V system, such as fire detectors, lights, air-conditioning, etc. can be used in Reaction Tables. |

| |
Matrix V possesses a scalable system architecture, in terms of both hardware and software. A single controller can control a maximum of up to 8 door readers, 208 input and 344 output points (with the appropriate number of I/O Modules, Reader Interface Units and Electronic Field Devices as required for a particular system configuration). More controllers may be added as needed - up to 1000 controllers per Matrix V system. Only enough controllers and optional components needed for the coverage necessary for a particular security system have to be acquired. New components, may be added as necessary to meet the expanding needs of a growing or changing organization. |
| |
In terms of software, numerous optional modules such as CCTV Support or Guard Tour functions may be added to the standard functionality of Matrix V as needed. Also, custom system interfaces may be introduced to Matrix V to meet the particular needs of certain third party systems such as fire control systems, office automation systems, etc. matrix V is thus highly scalable, and can be made to fit to the individual security needs of any organization. |

Powerful, Easy-to-Use Graphic User Interface |
| |
Matrix V is equipped with a 32-bit Windows-based GUI point-and-click interface. Perform powerful commands on your security system from your workstation with just a few clicks of your mouse. Your security system interfaces is displayed as an interactive image of your floor plan, with a menu of icons. This security interface animates whenever activity occurs on your security system, be it a door opening on the 2nd floor or a vehicle entering the building at the basement car park gantry. Events that would generate an alert such as a forced door or a fire will create more attention-grabbing effects such as loud colors, more dynamic animations, sound effects, pop up message boxes giving alert details, etc. click directly on icons on the interactive security interface for more details of different areas of your security system as well as to give commands to the various devices in your security layout. |
| |
|
|
Instant, Accurate and Powerful Data Gathering and Reporting |
| |
Every Matrix V module contains powerful transaction logging and database look-up features that can collect, sort, compile and store thousands of transactions from all modules daily for analysis. For examples, every card access attempt, and details including where, when and who's card was used, is automatically stored in the security system databases. Stored data is maintained at a fully shared and integrated relational database system based on Microsoft SQL Server, that is compatible with any ODBC-compliant SQL database engine. Reports can be generated on demand with a simple click of the mouse. |
| |
|
|
Interfacing with Third Party Systems |
| |
Matrix V can be customized for interfacing with virtually any 3rd party system. |
| |
|
Export data/transaction log files into text format for use with spreadsheets/crystal report software. |
|
Communicate directly and interface with third party systems sharing the same protocol through the TCP/IP network. |
|
Hard-wire third party systems and devices such as building automation systems and fire supervisory systems to input/output points controlled by the EL5000 Controller. Such systems can then be activated through Matrix V via relays. |
|
| |
|
|

See, Hear and Control from One location or Many |
| |
|
Monitoring and manage your entire security system from any of up to 32 workstations connected to the Matrix V Integrated Security Management System through a TCP/IP Local/Wide Area Network or remotely through the Internet. |
|
Set Matrix V system access rights for each workstation to restrict what functions are accessible by what users and protect those access rights those access rights with user login and passwords. |
|
Receive and respond to alarms promptly through highlighted pop-up dialog boxes. You may also enable, disable and otherwise give commands to any security device on your network with just a few clicks of the mouse. |
|
Record all activity in your security system, both routine (eg. Normal access to the IT department) and extraordinary (eg. Invalid entry, Device Failure, etc.). System activity and statistical reports can be automatically generated on demand. |
|
| |
|
|
Keep Track of Everyone's Whereabouts |
| |
Instantly receive a breakdown of the number of people in any area of the security system. Know details such as: |
| |
|
How many people are in that area. |
|
Identify each person there. |
|
Log how long each has been there. |
|
| |
This information is also logged in the transaction database and can be retrieved for analysis at a later time. |
| |
|
|
Dealing with Emergencies |
| |
Customize your security system to respond to emergencies according to your exact specifications. Any relay controlled output device such as sirens, doors, lights, communication lines, etc. may be programmed to activate in response to direct user commands or an automatically detected emergency. |
| |
For example, should your security system sensors detect an emergency, it can automatically : |
| |
|
Set off audible alarms and alarm signals and inform all personnel. |
|
Page or dial-up relevant authorities such as the fire brigade or police. |
|
Disarm security doors. |
|
Organize an evacuation of the premises by calculating the number of persons logged into the building and providing instructions to those persons to evacuate the building via "mustering stations", where evacuees may log their successful escape in the system. The system can be programmed to be intelligent enough to suggest evacuation routes that avoid "danger" areas that have triggered sensors within them as well as tally personnel who have mustered and who might be left behind in the premises. |
|

|
|
Sophisticated Card Management System |
| |
Matrix V also comes with a sophisticated card management system, which enables you to set up basic User Cards with User Details, Anti-Passback options, Card Expiry and Access Time Zones. All card access is logged, and cardholders can be traced down and located according to the last zone they accessed with their cards. Matrix V supports storage for an unlimited number of card details on-server, while each EL5000 Controller can store up to 120,000 cardholder records. |
| |
|
|
Supports special card functions |
| |
Escort Cards |
Certain highly sensitive areas may be equipped with an extra layer of protection through the use of dual-card doors. Such doors can only be accessed by a holder of a normal user card and another special Escort card, which, for example, may be held by a security officer posted at the door entry point or a trusted executive officer. |
Temporary Cards |
These cards are meant for normal staff members who have somehow lost their normal user cards. These temporary cards are tagged with the staff member's identity number in the security system so that his or her movements may still be monitored within secure areas. They have a short expiry date, usually a day. |
Visitor Cards |
These cards are meant for visitors to a secure area. They have a short expiry date, usually a day, a few hours or even a one card that expires once the cardholder leaves the secure area. They are also restricted time in terms of the areas in which they may access. |
Guard Tour |
Guard Tour cards are used specifically with the Guard Tour Module previously described. It is
essentially a User Card that is recognized by the Guard Tour Module. |
|
| |
|
|
Operator Decision Support |
| |
Operator Decision Support is activated upon Matrix V detecting a pre-determined event on the security system, such as, forced door. It suggests courses of action to the guard, such as : |
| |
|
Summoning the police. |
|
Deploying guards at the alert location and along the intruder's possible route(s). |
|
Sealing off nearby doors and alerting/evacuating staff. |
|
| |
This function is meant to supplement the normal training provided to security personnel when responding to such situations by providing a checklist of critical actions that need to be taken. |
