Define macros which initiate a string of functions at the controller
from a single action.
Confirm and control the identity of a person passing through
a nominated door via visual comparison of a cardholder image
against a live or video image
View cardholders currently located within selected areas
Integrate seamlessly with a variety of third party systems
including biometric readers, long range readers, offline or wireless
readers, alarm systems, video, intercom or elevator systems, or HR
systems

instructions, video feeds or other relevant information directly
to Command Centres command and control interface via in-built
