ISONAS Kicks Off New Year with the Release of Pure Access 2.0 Software Platform

ISONAS Inc.  announced that the company has released Pure Access 2.0 to ring in the new year.  Launched in 2016, Pure Access, is a family of leading access control software products comprised of a fully hosted platform, Pure Access Cloud and an on-premise option, Pure Access Manager.Pure Access provides a complete access control platform allowing for full installation, administration and management of ISONAS’s patented Pure IP™ access control hardware. ThePure Access software platform provides a modern user interface that establishes a new standard for ease of use in managing an unlimited number of access points across any geography through a mobile device, tablet or browser.  The 2.0 update adds new features that expand the capability of the platform; which includes a direct integration with Microsoft’s Active Directory and a custom rules engine.

With the addition of Active Directory, users of Pure Access 2.0 can unify IT and physical security platforms and centrally manage people and groups from a single interface. The integration allows selected user information such as name, badge ID, PIN number, and access control permissions to be transferred from Active Directory toPure Access with an automated synchronization.  This eliminates any manual intervention and potential errors helping to simplify cardholder management.  In many organizations, Active Directory is utilized as the main user management database, integrating to a wide range of other business systems, and with this integration ISONAS customers can now leverage their centralized source of user data and simplify their training process for an access control platform.

The second new feature in Pure Access 2.0, a custom rules engine, gives customers the ability to trigger actions or responses when a specific event occurs. An email alert can be set up to track a specific alert or credential along with dashboard notifications, giving ISONAS customers notification of actions in real-time.  These rules allow users a more granular view and total control of their access control system. 

With the official launch of the Pure Access software platform in 2016, a number of certified integrator partners and customers have moved onto the new Pure Access software and are extremely happy with the user experience, “At ISONAS, the product vision continues to evolve and focus on making the experience of our customers even more efficient and simpler,” states Rob Mossman, CEO at ISONAS.The release of Pure Access 2.0 is a testament to this and we continue to focus our resources on providing products focused on our customers’ needs in 2017.”

The company continues to stay true to its culture of pushing the envelope in new access control technologies and driving the Pure IP™ revolution forward. Pure IP™ technologies are becoming the future in access control technology creating open platforms and providing customers with a choice in their access control.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    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.
