International. Software House introduces the latest version of its C•CURE 9000 security and event management system, with visitor management features, time spent in an area control and monitoring of building automation systems, in addition to many other additions and improvements.
The addition of visitor management to the C•CURE 9000 platform allows users to manage appointments and generate temporary credentials, becoming a digital substitute for paper visitor log books. Using C•CURE 9000, customer service personnel can create, manage, and archive appointments, as well as group and individual records and visitor notification emails. This licensed feature also allows organizations to maintain and audit visitor information across their facilities. In addition to providing an audit trail for temporary credentials, the system offers security measures that prevent the simultaneous use of an employee's temporary card and usual credential.
"Many organizations are experiencing an increasing need to manage their visitors and the movement of their employees that is not limited to the paper record book, but at the same time they feel that they do not need to go to a third party to acquire a separate solution to carry out such management," said Luis Delcampo, Product and Marketing Manager of the Access Control line of Tyco Security Products for Latin America. "The visitor management features of C•CURE 9000 meet this need."
By installing the permanence control function of C•CURE 9000, users can restrict how long a person can stay in a given area before a violation alert is triggered in the system, a feature that can prove useful in matters related to regulatory compliance or civil liability, in addition to security. The anti-return function for shared vehicles prevents two consecutive entries or exits from being made with the same card, this functionality is subject to a license and performs the management of parking lots identifying shared vehicles by several occupants and allowing the entry into the area of shared vehicles only to duly authorized groups. The system works using the driver's credential, which identifies all individuals inside the shared vehicle.
As the interrelationship of security and building management systems increases, C•CURE 9000 helps unify conventional building management systems through a BACnet interface (subject to licensing). Running the automatic device detection function, C•CURE 9000 can identify all BACnet objects related to various BAS such as HVAC, lighting, hydraulics and other systems for building management and incorporate them into the C•CURE 9000 platform to perform their supervision and control allowing a complete picture of the security and management functions of the buildings.
