aptiQ USB and Serial Enrollment Readers Simplify Credential Enrollment

aptiQ USB and Serial Enrollment Readers Simplify Credential EnrollmentIngersoll Rand announced that access control administrators can now simplify credential enrollment by using one of two new readers, the aptiQ SUSB89 USB Reader or the aptiQ Serial Enrollment Reader, to enroll a smart card into their access control system using their own computer. No software is required to operate either reader. Both readers function on any operating system. This automatic transfer of information makes it much easier for the user and saves significant time.

Each reader is compatible with aptiQ smart credentials, including MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESfire EV1, both of which provide higher security than traditional proximity cards. They also recognize PIV (Personal Identify Verification) cards as used by the Federal Government and its contractors.       

“Traditionally, to enroll a smart card, the administrator had to type in the credential information manually into their access control or other systems,” said Jeremy Earles, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, portfolio manager, credentials and readers. “Now, the administrator has a much easier solution – just plug the enrollment reader into one’s computer, present the aptiQ smart card to the reader and the card information populates automatically.”

The new readers will be featured in the Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies booth 20229 at the ISC West Exposition to be held at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas April 10-12.

  • 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.
