  • Apr 07, 2016

Product enhancements that add convenience and network security, and an expanded list of integrations and connectivity with leading access control solutions are just some of the innovations featured by Morse Watchmans this week at ISC West. Also on display is a new video that captures the essence of the industry-leading key management product lineup.

"Physical security is an evolving market with a consistent need for high performance, cost-effective, unified solutions that help ensure a safe and secure environment," said Fernando Pires, VP Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans. "Our ISC West exhibit demonstrates how our advanced key management systems address those needs with a full range of choices and capabilities for creating an integrated and comprehensive state-of-the-art security system."

Upgrades for KeyWatcher Touch include a firewall and AES256 encryption technology for data exchanged between KeyWatcher Touch and the KeyWatcher Touch Server. Windows authentication is now supported for SQL Server logins and KeyWatcher Touch Server service can be run under a domain user account. The KeyPro III software import utility has been revamped to make it easier to use.

User enhancements include the ability to replace keys from True Touch key tracking software using the SmartKey reader. A new notification allows for users to be notified when an overdue key has been returned as well as notifications for dual and triple user removals/returns. All reports in True Touch now support being saved/viewed as a PDF, or saved as a CSV file. A strict key return enforcement option has been added to KeyWatcher Illuminated.

The Morse Watchmans booth includes a special presentation area to highlight the integration capability of KeyWatcher Touch with a variety of access control systems including AMAG Technology's Symmetry V8.0.2 Access Control System. The AMAG Symmetry Integration Module allows users to provide access to KeyWatcher Touch assets to card holders from within the Symmetry system.

Additional product displays include KeyWatcher Mobile App, KeyBank Key Control System that provides total accountability of large quantities of keys, KeyRings, PowerCheck Guard Tour System and TourPro Data Sorting Software. The company's full product lineup is featured in a new video which can be viewed at the Morse Watchmans booth.

    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.
