Quintron Simplifies Access Control with New Network Appliance Technology

  • Feb 12, 2014

Quintron Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced interoperable voice systems and physical access control/intrusion detection systems, today announced the Quintron Simplifies Access Control with New Network Appliance TechnologyRDS-1 network appliance technology, making the deployment of small access control systems faster, less expensive and more reliable.

“This ‘traditional server replacement’ delivers everything needed for an eight door system, upgradable to 32 doors, in a single pre-configured device,” said Richard Finnegan, VP and general manager, Security Systems Division at Quintron.  “Application software as well as the database and administrative utilities are all ready to use without any loading or configuration, saving a great deal of time and frustration.”

Once delivered to the site, the RDS-1’s dual-NIC design provides both DHCP and static addressing right out of the box. The RDS-1 also supports client connectivity from any browser-based device, leveraging the clients existing infrastructure. Thick client connections are also supported, bringing advanced features, like badge printing and graphic maps, and concurrent client connections insure there is no delay in getting things accomplished.

The AccessNsite software driving the system was written from the ground up as a Java application providing unlimited system scalability, flexibility and reliability. Due to its object-oriented design, alarms and events aren’t just static information, meaning on the spot changes to assigned access rights are quick and simple. Also, the granular control of login permissions allows the access rights of each user to be predefined. Simple to complex reports can be created against the entire database providing everything from facility maps to manage alarms graphically, to a drill down from a campus view, to a building view, to the actual room on the floor plan showing where the alarm is occurring.

AccessNsite is designed to answer a wide array of needs from the small business to the large enterprise.  With database partitioning for managing multi-tenant buildings, a web client to manage sites remotely, and the Enterprise Communicator to transfer badge records between multiple sites within an enterprise.

  • 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.
