“Now on one screen you can have high-quality graphical maps showing all access and alarm points from both systems and you can control all devices with the click of a button.”
Offering advanced configurations of triggers, rules mapping can be applied to events like system input and output change, card swipe outcomes across the access control system and intrusion system events.
“The ACT Enterprise rules mapping engine offers the customer an intuitive method to create rules based on access control events and Boolean logic,” said Michael Moyna, technical product marketing manager at Vanderbilt, which specialises in access control, intrusion and video surveillance. “It does this by permitting the creation of logical relationships between system elements through a drag-and-drop interface.”
“For the end user the addition of rules mapping ensures that system interactions can be seamlessly introduced on a system-wide basis, thereby enabling a higher level of added value to be realized, both for security and business-based functionalities.”
The rules mapping engine offers I/O management for trigger detection with compatible devices, which are usually attached to a door or an automated electrical that closes the circuit on the I/O unit. When this circuit is closed, an alarm is sent over the network and captured by ACT Enterprise.
