Galaxy Access Control Software Enhances Integration with Schlage Wireless Electronic Locks

  • Sep 28, 2015

Galaxy Control Systems is featuring a number of new features and functions available in its popular System Galaxy Access Control and Management Software here at ASIS 2015. The latest update provides users with tools that enable greater control and management of their access control solution, including the ability to quickly initiate a lockdown in an emergency situation.

“The new feature enhancements we’ve added to System Galaxy provides users with the highest levels of control and situational awareness,” said Robert Laughlin, president, Galaxy Control Systems. “New features like crisis mode are testimony to Galaxy Control Systems’ continued commitment to provide users with the integrated features they need to best protect people, property and assets.”

System Galaxy’s Crisis Mode feature has been enhanced to allow users to upgrade or downgrade individual access levels as needed, as well as to lock down either specific doors or an entire facility in a panic or crisis situation. For example, if a chemical spill were to occur, Crisis Mode could be used to lock out everyone except members of the hazmat team – whose access would only be activated when the lockdown occurred – out of that particular area. Crisis Mode is ideal for educational facilities of all sizes.

In addition, System Galaxy has also been enhanced with a new command card feature. Designed for K-12 educational facility control, this capability allows end users to issue access cards that are designated for specific functions based on user-established rules. For example, if an individual has reserved a facility for two hours, they can be issued a card that will unlock the doors and disarm the alarm system for that predetermined amount of time. When two hours have passed, the doors will be locked and the alarm system will be armed automatically.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
