Physical, electronic or virtual security seals?

July 2004 Products & Solutions

It is a tough war out there. Crime evolves fast and for security seal manufacturers, improving products is an ongoing challenge. The irony is that soon the best tamper-proof seal will be no visible seal at all, which was the thinking behind a South African-designed self-powered locking mechanism. The mechanism is remote controlled and can be easily applied to anything that requires a lock or seal.

Napco's new GeminiAccess adds one to eight doors of access. The GeminiAccess Control Module, GEM-ACM1D adds integrated access control to the burglar alarm functions of the GEM-X255 255-Zone Hybrid Control Panel, enabling the easy creation for a fast, economical seamless system with shared database and programming. Up to eight doors of access can be added to the GEM-X255 system.

GeminiAccess provides controlled access to a door by releasing a mag or electric strike with a valid Prox card or Prox keyfob is presented to an HID or GEM-PX proximity reader. GeminiAccess enables specially authorised prox card holders to arm and disarm the system with their card. Plus, by sharing the door contact with the burglary system, one contact will both monitor the door and annunciate and report alarms and troubles.
