Web-based open security platform

Suprema has launched BioStar 2, a Web-based IP access control platform. BioStar 2 seamlessly integrates Suprema’s biometric technology with an enhanced security solution to offer simplicity, convenience and performance.

Built with a new design style that focuses on enhancing user experience, all of the functions and features of BioStar 2 can be used with only a few simple clicks. The system is accessible via Web browsers, making the system independent from operating systems or device platforms.

The convenience of the system is driven by a number of automations throughout installation and maintenance. Automatic device discovery avoids tedious manual data input and detection processes. This feature allows the installer to simply select and configure the device from the list of connected devices within the network. Additionally, all future updates for BioStar 2 will be made available from a cloud-based resource. The optional automatic update feature will ensure that the system is up-to-date with the latest versions of firmware made available.

BioStar 2 offers performance with the ability to handle large system capacities. The system can accommodate up to 1000 devices. The data transfer to large numbers of devices is processed via Hyper Data Transfer to reduce the system downtime during maintenance. The system also allows unlimited time schedules and advanced user group settings to support complex access control setups.

“Suprema is excited to introduce the next generation access control solution that is fitting for the current technological environment,” said Young S. Moon, vice president of Suprema. “We believe that the current technological environment is progressing in such a dynamic way, that securing flexibility and versatility to the new system was one of the key objectives. The system is developed to be Web-friendly using the latest Web standards and is not dependent on any specific operating system or client device unlike a number of different solutions in the market. With the newly found versatility, we expect BioStar 2 to serve as a foundation that we develop and expand to satisfy our customers’ growing needs.”

“This new technological leap in access control shows Suprema’s commitment to lead the way,” adds Walter Rautenbach, MD of neaMetrics, the distributor of Suprema for southern Africa. “BioStar 2 assists in overcoming many of the problems, in access control, specific to the African environment by offering clients and system integrators secure cloud-based management, in-house or outsourced, where needed. With this said, it still caters for offline operation required due to the current network and power infrastructure problems. We are looking forward to the flexibility and change this will bring to security implementations in Africa.”
