Morse Watchmans' Leading-Edge Key and Asset Management Solutions on Display at ISC West

At ISC West 2019 this week in Las Vegas, Morse Watchmans (booth #11109) is showcasing its AssetWatcher and KeyWatcher Touch key and asset management solutions that protect important keys and physical assets, resulting in reduced downtime, fewer losses, and improved accountability.

On display alongside AssetWatcher and KeyWatcher is Morse Watchmans' latest introduction, KeyWatcher Fleet – the first key management platform designed from the ground up with Fleet Managers in mind.

"Morse Watchmans has proven experience in delivering tailored key and asset management systems with full audit trail capabilities, for a multitude of applications," said Fernando Pires, CEO, Morse Watchmans. "AssetWatcher and KeyWatcher Touch make it easier than ever to protect valuable assets and to streamline key management, while KeyWatcher Fleet breaks new ground in optimizing fleet usage."

AssetWatcher is a flexible, scalable, and highly capable RFID-enabled locker system. Perfect for tools, mobile electronics, and other valuable items, it can easily support more than 10,000 users on a single system and is configurable in three modes for flexible usage. AssetWatcher's RFID technology allows users to easily track who is removing or replacing an asset, as well as when and where in the system the asset has been taken from or placed.

Available in 10, 22, or 34-locker configurations, each AssetWatcher locker is sized for small laptops, tablets, phones and other objects. Additional systems can be added as needed to expand the solution to support even more lockers. Each system is designed to be freestanding and can be mounted to the wall or the floor for convenience and stability.

Morse Watchmans' KeyWatcher Touch key management system features a 7" touchscreen with an easy-to-use interface and patented SmartKey system with KeyAnywhere technology to make it simple to withdraw and return a key securely to any key cabinet in an enterprise.

KeyWatcher Touch also offers the convenience of scheduled PDF reports that are emailed to authorized recipients. Email delivery of customized or standard reports can be scheduled for any frequency or specific time, or they can be accessed using the Morse Watchmans smartphone app. System administrators have access to view or run reports as needed. The system also enables security management to notify a user via email when a key becomes overdue.

Built on proven KeyWatcher Touch hardware, KeyWatcher Fleet is the only key control system with software designed specifically for fleet management. A dashboard displays vehicle use, bookings, status, and more. Administrators can generate quick and customizable reports to gain actionable insight on fleet utilization and operations.

Morse Watchmans Smarts™ lets administrators create policies to enable automatic vehicle allocation. Vehicles can be assigned by lowest mileage, most fuel, priority and more. Drivers can be notified automatically via email or text if a specific vehicle is not available, and unique pin codes or optional card or fingerprint readers provide strong key/vehicle management.

  • 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.

  • 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.
