Argus Global introduces IP-based door controllers at Security 2010 Exhibition
eIDC is a sophisticated but simple-to-install device for scalable door control
Many commercial organisations are looking for secure but cost-effective solutions to help them improve security. With eIDC they get a solution that’s incredibly straightforward to install, but also reliable in the extreme.
Sydney, August 31, 2010 - Argus Global, a leading supplier of biometrically-enabled access control systems, today announced an extension to its suite of solutions with easy-fit door controllers from Infinias. Showcased for the first time in Australia at Security 2010 Exhibition (Sep 1 – 3, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour), the Infinias door controller, known as eIDC, is a sophisticated but simple-to-install device for scalable door control.
Unlike traditional access control systems, eIDC utilises an embedded server that allows doors to be installed one at a time. eIDC also incorporates Ethernet-based IP technology that requires no special wiring - so it smoothly integrates with existing networks. This prevents the need for additional work stations and servers that can be costly and tricky to implement.
Bruce Lyman, C.E.O of Argus Global, comments: “Many commercial organisations are looking for secure but cost-effective solutions to help them improve security. With eIDC they get a solution that’s incredibly straightforward to install, but also reliable in the extreme. It’s installed with very little fuss and most importantly, doesn’t require changes to existing infrastructures – saving both money and effort.”
eIDC can be used either standalone or linked back to a server when multiple door controls are in place. The system’s buffer ensures that up to 16,000 access ‘events’ are stored locally in the device – protecting against data loss should the server go down. All events are then fed back to the server when the connection is regained.
From very large to very small, the eIDC door controller offers both a robust and practical security solution. In single door mode the eIDC has a capacity for up to 8,000 card holders. In managed mode that increases to 64,000. Already deployed widely in the US, eIDC is used by many organisations to control several hundred doors. Doctor’s Hospital Texas uses eIDC to control over 400 doors across multiple buildings – all managed from one server.
Lyman is confident that the eIDC will offer as much practical use to Australian organisations as it does to the US: “Security is no longer an issue that we can ignore. We face very similar challenges and concerns to our international neighbours and it’s time for us to take the necessary measures to address that. eIDC offers just the kind of solution that allows organisations to increase security but without crippling themselves in the process.”
