EXcel 4 Controllers
EXgarde PRO Software
The Requirement
Given the sensitive nature of its business (hosting and processing data for thousands of customers around the world) C4L, required a high specification security system to protect its building and assets.
This highly secure system, would integrate elements of both access control and CCTV monitoring, whilst complementing the modern and clean design of the new offices.
The Solutiuon
The solution developed by TDSI and CSG employs a combination of Optica readers together with EXcel 4 controllers and the company’s integrated access management software, EXgarde PRO.
The EXcel controller is ideal for mid-to large-scale applications such as this; with each unit controlling up to four readers, the whole system provides a flexible, cost-effective solution to meet C4L’s requirements.
TDSi’ s Optica readers were specified, not only for their performance and operational benefits but also because of the unit’s modern design. With a blue LED, back-lit keypad, the reader meets the design principles for the office interior (which features floor to ceiling glass panelled offices – also with blue LED back-lighting).
The Result
C4L now have an access control system that can connect to modern IT networks, simplifying installation and commissioning.
With a high-capacity database for up to 18,000 users, the system also provides great expansion capability and system flexibility to meet C4L’s future needs.
This high-performance access control system delivers a seamless, fully-integrated security solution with the dedicated Micro’s DS2 multiplexer that controls the CCTV system.
