APACS Apollo access and alarm management software
"Provicom Industries is particularly pleased to introduce to the South African market the new Apollo APACS Windows 98/NT-based access control and alarm management software," says Key Accounts Executive, Doug Evans.
"The APACS software comes in three packages: Lite, Standard and Pro. The Lite version provides on-line display of events, elevator control, time and attendance, password-protected configuration of database, alarm linkage, event retrieval and sorting," adds Evans.
"The Standard version (in addition to the Lite features) includes colourgraphics maps, video badging and supports up to 3072 readers.
The APAC Pro is an advanced alarm/access management system. It supports up to 256 workstations and 18 384 readers of various technologies and operates with the Windows NT network. Both Standard and Pro provide CCTV interface," says Evans.
The APACS works with standard databases such as SQL, Access, Oracle. The software provides a user-friendly environment for operating and processing of access/alarm information.
Apollo AAN-100, alarm/access network controller
The new AAN-100 controller utilises a 32-bit processor to support up to 96 readers, 32 16-zone alarm panels, 1,3 million cardholders and 650 000-event storage. Single or dual, network or serial, communications between the AAN-100 and the host are available using user selected communication modules. No terminal server is required for network connection, as the AAN-100 becomes a network member.
The standard AAN-100 has built-in support like elevator control, alarm masking, anti-passback, area loading, advanced alarm linkage, dual path reporting, dial-up operation, 2-card 2-man control, CCTV interface, flash memory and other features.
Together with other Apollo AIM-4SL downloadable reader interface, the user's system enjoys complete database redundancy with no degradable mode of reader operation.
