Paxton Access has released the latest version of Net2, its network access control solution. “Leading a substantial list of innovations in Net2 v4 is our new trigger and action functionality,” explained Adam Stroud, the company’s sales and marketing director. “This enables users to link the Net2 software with a range of building services to generate specific actions as a result of trigger events. This will prove enormously popular with users and demonstrates our belief in the future of intelligent integration.”
A further innovation in Net2 v4 is “site graphics”, a feature that allows the user to “place” all doors and cameras onto a visual representation of the user’s site imported into the Net2 software. This means that security staff can swiftly identify the location of an alarm event and double click on the camera associated with it to view live images of what is occurring at the relevant door. This reduces the level of staff training required and reduces the need for security personnel to know the building intimately. Also, if security staff need to leave the screen unattended for any reason staff can set “monitor doors”.
Any events that occur at these specified doors while staff are away from the screen remain visible on screen until staff return and turn off the monitoring function.
