Powell Tronics excels as technology advances

As a specialist value add distributor, our loyalty and dedication to Impro Technologies, Morpho and Golmar, continues to return great dividends and the ability to unceasingly provide our clients, and in turn the South African and greater African market, with a diverse selection of products designed to keep up with the ever changing world of technology and the market expectations.

With 2014 approaching its halfway mark, and another hugely successful IFSEC SA behind us, we at Powell Tronics reflect on the innovative strides taken by each of our suppliers this year with the release of their latest products, geared with pioneering technologies.

United in a team whose experience and skill level have no equivalent in the industry, experts from Morpho and Bioscrypt joined forces to design the best of breed fingerprint identification terminals.

Impro’s Access Portal Lite launched earlier this year is a small but powerful, fully embedded Web solution, accessible from any smart mobile device. The advanced hardware design allows for quick and easy installation while allowing the flexibility of the ultimate in-field configuration and variety of compatible reader options. This cost effective system offers advanced features such as 1000 tagholder capacity, up to 100 000 buffered transactions up to eight anti-passback doors and a range of Web reports – everything required to secure and manage small to medium premises.

From Golmar, the new PoE powered M700 video monitor is a Beoview full IP solution for intercom communication in luxury homes, residential buildings and office buildings. Thanks to its latest technology and Peer2Peer facilities, M700 monitors do not require a server to be function over a LAN connection. Due to its multi channel feature, this system will never be engaged or inaccessible and the touch capacitive screen displaying large icons makes it user friendly especially for the visually impaired and elderly users.

This exclusive product boasts of it is high end materials such as glass 7-inch touch screen, metal aluminium frames combined with high-fidelity full-duplex audio communication and real time video streaming. Other features such as missed calls image memory, intercommunication between apartments, call transfer to concierge / monitor, self ­activation of door entry panels, reception of text ­messages from PC-Soft software have made this range of intercoms a preferred choice with many high end building consultants.
