Access Control Integration Appliance

New and now available, Continentals’ new Access Control Integration Appliance (CA-AIA) is a compact solid-state network appliance that virtually fits in your hand and runs on an embedded OS, and comes ready-to-go, pre-installed with the latest version of robust CA3000 CardAccess enterprise class software (full Native Client and Web Client) providing integrated access, locking, alarms and video, and the fastest, fuss-proof installation ever.

There's no software to install on any client or server; all that’s required is a typical web browser.  Ultra easy-to-install, the IT-Friendly CA-AIA Appliance frees up time spent installing and configuring applications, gathering license data or installing service packs, etc; and its browser-based interface runs on any OS, and eliminates specialized training, and costs for any additional software or licensing. While it’s backward compatible with ALL Continental Access Control Panels (old & new), it features all Continental’s latest updates, including integration with Trilogy®  Networx and ArchiTech™ Wireless Access Locks and includes a USB Flash Drive with full system backup. 

Conveniently desktop- or wall-mounted (bracket included), this SSD appliance, model CA-AIA, has no moving parts for a long life, and is built on a rugged, embedded computing platform featuring a reliable 128GB solid state drive, Intel processor and 8 GB of RAM.
