Access Easy from Bosch

July 2011 Access Control & Identity Management, Products & Solutions

All-in-one solution to manage access in any location with a built-in Web-server.

Bosch Security Systems has launched the next generation of its Access Easy Control System. It is an easy-to-use, Web-based access control solution that uses a built-in Web server for access management. The system enables a range of sophisticated security features to be integrated into a system even by users with relatively little IT knowledge.

The Access Easy Control System is an all-in-one box that can be accessed via a standard IP network or the Internet. There is no additional software needed.

With an intuitive graphical user interface, the controller is easy to set up and operate. Bosch video devices can also be seamlessly integrated into the system to provide a wide range of features, such as verification of alarm-related images and guided playback of archives, without losing the system’s inherent ease of use.

Additional security features can be customised by the operator such as display of photo ID and notification or alerts via e-mail/SMS. More advanced I/O programming is available for additional security functions, such as integration of third-party intrusion systems for arming/disarming the system via a standard access credential.

The Access Easy Control System can be used to manage door access, control elevators, monitor intrusion-alarms and keep time logs. It can support up to 16 readers, monitor up to 32 input points and control up to 32 output points per controller.

Pro version

The Access Professional Edition is a scalable entry-level access-control solution for small and medium-sized companies that are capable of growing with their needs. The system covers not only simple access requirements, but also comprehensive video verification features.

Access Professional Edition offers a broad range of access and security functions including integration to video surveillance, intrusion, and elevator control systems. Among the new features available, users are better able to secure their perimeter with the assistance of up to five cameras around a door to ensure that the right person is entering the secured area. Archived recordings originally triggered by alarm events (eg, forced entry, exceeded opening time or use of false credentials) can be provided by the system to clarify past occurrences. The software also supports authorisation management for standalone offline readers.

Beyond the new supported hardware and integration, operator functions were also enhanced allowing additional customisation and flexibility for the end user. The system supports up to 16 simultaneous users with different profiles to assure data is available at all times to all users. The system’s increased flexibility offers an individual to hold credentials in different formats and technologies, eg, a key-fob, a card or a long–range UHF token (ultra high frequency). This allows new and legacy equipment to coexist, and hence allows a gradual, budget-friendly migration from one reader technology to another.
