Omega Technology Solutions partners with S2 Security Corporation to provide a complete one box access control solution

In addition to providing an extensive range of systems integration of closed circuit television systems, macro city surveillance systems, fire detection systems, public address and evacuation Systems, intrusion systems and IP security products, Omega Technology Solutions announces the inclusion of the S2 NetBox to its portfolio. The S2 NetBox is the first integrated IP-based security management system to offer an open platform, solid state network appliance architecture.

The S2 NetBox opens opportunities to control access, identity management and photo ID, event and alarm monitoring, and temperature monitoring, all in addition to video surveillance. It offers seamless integration with access control and alarms and supports both IP and analogue cameras, NVRs and DVRs all simultaneously. Working alongside Omega's other technology partner's peripherals, this provides a fully integrated IP solution for any sized system from small offices to large global enterprises. Additionally the unit offers remote access via browser ensuring a truly open platform with access remotely, centrally or locally.

A true native IP device, the S2 NetBox uses embedded software on a solid state blade to replace the traditional administration PC and incorporates advanced network security encryption, marking a shift in the security management architecture. Due to its one box solution, the S2 NetBox is easy to install and significantly reduces the total cost of ownership compared to traditional systems due to its many advanced features, 3rd generation network architecture and reduced cost of maintenance, thanks to its solid state design.

Omega has recently installed a complete S2 NetBox solution into its new state-of-the-art public surveillance security control and monitoring central station in Johannesburg. This will not only be used to secure the premises but also acts as a fully operational demonstration suite so that potential customers will be able to see for themselves the power of the S2 NetBox solution together with the operational benefits of a web-enabled, browser delivered platform. Thys Le Grange, managing director of Omega Technology Solutions said of the partnership, "Omega has always strived for a policy of 'best of breed' where quality, reliability and a technological edge has always been paramount, and in our decision to partner with S2 corporation we continue this approach. In order to expand our security management, access control and alarm monitoring integration products further, we are launching the S2 NetBox to ensure we stay at the forefront of technological innovation in all areas of integrated security systems."

Phil Mailes, director for EMEA for S2 Security Corporation commented, "This partnership offers the highly unique and advanced product set of the S2 NetBox via a trusted partner known for its innovation, attention to customer satisfaction and quality products, all of which our two companies share. To have a committed and competent Pan-African deployment vehicle servicing this market will allow local customers access to the most advanced and cost effective solution in the industry."

Le Grange concluded, "Quite simply, the NetBox solution has opened new markets for our solutions by offering a level of technological excellence that keeps us ahead of our competitors."
