In partnership with approved reseller Acti-Tech, CEM Systems will display advanced IP card readers and controllers, including the new DESfire smart card reader and controller.
The company is also scheduled to demonstrate the video integration capabilities of its powerful CEM AC2000 security management system at IFSEC West Africa, which runs on 15-16 February at the Eko Expo Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
“IFSEC West Africa offers the ideal platform to showcase CEM’s high quality and innovative products to the West African market,” commented Andrew Fulton, the business development director for CEM products.
“On display will be CEM’s new sPass DESfire smart card reader and encrypted two-door controller, as well as advanced CEM IP card readers such as the S3020 portable wireless reader and the S610f fingerprint reader.”
S610f: reader and controller in one device
The S610f is a reader and controller in one device, and offers increased security by providing three levels of identity checks: ID card authentication, PIN check and fingerprint verification.
Fingerprint templates are encrypted and stored within the CEM access control system and then distributed to the S610f reader’s large internal database at the door. This ensures quick fingerprint verification, and enables the reader to work offline from the server for zero system downtime.
The new CEM sPass DESfire reader is a highly encrypted contactless smart card reader that connects to CEM’s eDCM 350 two-door controller.
The eDCM 350 offers an RS485 encrypted link between the reader and the controller, a set-up specifically designed to thwart the known threat of wiegand ‘signal sniffing’.
To complement this highly secure DESFire solution, CEM will also showcase its pre-personalised DESfire smart card featuring Triple DES (3DES) encrypted data storage – offering three high levels of encrypted security when a controller approach is required.
CEM will exhibit the new version 6.2 software platform of the AC2000 security management system. AC2000 features a comprehensive list of security modules including ID badging, visitor management, access levels and integrated alarm/event monitoring (to name but a few).
Integration with DVRs
At IFSEC West Africa 2011, the AC2000 system will be fully integrated with American Dynamics’ new Hybrid DVR, in turn showing its powerful integration capabilities.
CEM Systems is a leading manufacturer of advanced access control solutions and has partnered with major ICT Company Acti-Tech, a company accredited and approved to install CEM products in the region.
Only recently, Acti-Tech successfully installed the CEM AC2000 SE (Standard Edition) security management system to secure access to the prestigious Federal Ministry of Finance building in Abuja, Nigeria.
“CEM Systems provided an excellent solution, and offered us great support throughout the Ministry of Finance Nigeria project,” enthused Peter Madu, managing director at Acti-Tech.
“The fully integrated CEM AC2000 access control solution is ideal for sites where security really matters, and will allow the Ministry of Finance to run effectively and efficiently with the highest degree of security measures in place.”
