Morse Watchmans ASIS 2015 Product Line up Demonstrates Leadership and Innovation

Morse Watchmans is showing the latest in key control and asset management products and features at ASIS 2015. The exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to see, touch and hear about the latest product introductions and enhancements for the flagship KeyWatcher Touch system. The company is also demonstrating various KeyWatcher Touch integrations and connectivity with leading access control solutions.

“Our product demonstrations at ASIS showcase our strong technology leadership in delivering high performance solutions for key control and asset management,” said Fernando Pires, VP Sales and Marketing, Morse Watchmans. “As an example, the latest updates to our integration with Lenel’s OnGuard Access Control System are testimony to how we’ve taken key control to the next level.”

The Morse Watchmans booth includes a special presentation area to highlight the integration capability of KeyWatcher Touch with Lenel’s OnGuard Access Control System and Software House’s C-CURE 9000 Access Control System. The integration display illustrates how users can efficiently manage the KeyWatcher Touch system configuration for access, storage, key tracking and other features through the access control systems.

Additional product highlights of the exhibit include the following:

  • SmartKey Reader – By simply inserting a SmartKey into the Reader, information such as key names and locations can be quickly added to or deleted from the KeyWatcher’s TrueTouch software. The Reader is also compatible with the KeyBank Touch Auto, allowing the user to enter vehicle information including year, make, model, sub-model, color and fuel type.
  • KeyWatcher Touch – The KeyWatcher Touch has been outfitted with an audio jack to allow connection to a speaker for audio prompts and alarm sounds. Prompts for the key remove and return process include instructions for door opening and closing and key removal and return. The system will also generate an audible alarm for infractions such as overdue keys, return violations and so on.
  • SmartKey – A group interlock feature allows any SmartKey to be interlocked with a group of keys, thereby giving users the option to increase the security level of certain keys. For instance, if there is a key already out from the group that was selected, the requested key interlocked with that group cannot be removed from the key control cabinet.

Along with these line-up enhancements, Morse Watchmans’ ASIS display also features KeyWatcher Illuminated, KeyWatcher Mobile App, KeyBank Key Control System that provides total accountability of large quantities of keys, KeyPro Software, KeyRings, PowerCheck Guard Tour System and TourPro Data Sorting Software.

    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.
