Biometrics/Smart Cards

Biometrics and smart cards are two of the most powerful security solutions available today. While there is an assortment of products on the market purporting to offer high security, not all of them provide the optimal experience for the user. Lenel has developed OnGuard Biometrics & Smart Cards to help customers leverage their OnGuard systems to support industry leading biometric and smart card technologies. This solution offers customers a seamless enrollment and verification experience, to simplify management and optimize security while providing added functionality.

Fire & Intrusion

Barco video wall integration

OnGuard also offers users a variety of monitoring interfaces, from the Remote Monitor to the Barco video wall. No matter what the monitoring requirement is, OnGuard has an interface to match.

Business card / Driver’s license / Military ID / Passport scanning

In many environments, visitors are still asked to enter their information in a paper log book. While this method is perceived as quick and easy, it provides little security and leaves visitor information available for anyone to see. To address these issues, HID Global’s EasyLobby® Secure Visitor Management solutions allow organizations to automate the entire process of registering a visitor, printing a badge and capturing detailed information in seconds by simply electronically scanning an ID (such as a driver’s license, business card or passport). The solution is flexible, customizable and feature-rich to meet the needs of small and enterprise organizations with diverse visitor management processes and policy requirements.

Elevator integration

ThyssenKrupp Elevator System

ThyssenKrupp Elevator supplies elevators for buildings of all kinds. ThyssenKrupp Elevator range includes passenger, bed and freight elevators with traction or hydraulic drive. ThyssenKrupp Elevator capabilities are rounded out by high-quality, customer-oriented service as well as individual maintenance and modernization packages.

The integration supports:

• Provide card reader security within the elevator(s) as required.
• Provide card reader security at the Destination Dispatch kiosk(s), as required.
• Allows Default Floor call registration upon card swipe.
• Allows Code Blue and VIP Service activation from a card swipe.
• Allows individual kiosks to be configured in Sleep Mode and activated from a card swipe.
• Enforce elevator access levels time zones.
• UDP unicast messages between ThyssenKrupp integration and the elevator system

Intercom 

Commend Intercom Server

The operator can place and cancel calls to Intercom Stations from the OnGuard Alarm Monitoring System Status Tree or from a map containing intercom icons.

Events from the Commend Server are sent to the OnGuard Server and can be displayed in the OnGuard clients.

Video can be viewed from Intercom stations which contain the Axis M3114 camera. (Note: Axis M3114 is directly integrated into OnGuard. ‘Maximum Number of LNVR-Recorded Camera Channels’ (SW-LNR-CH1) license will be needed to use the camera.)

Intelligent video (live)

Benefit from advanced analytics capabilities for everyday monitoring. Configure to detect incident or circumstances not readily obvious to the untrained eye. Available free-of-charge for recorded video or licensed for live video.

OPC Server / Client

OnGuard supports OLE for Process Control (OPC) interfaces, which are based on Microsoft OLE/COM technology. OPC was designed to allow interoperability of building automation and process control systems, enabling the systems to bidirectionally communicate. OnGuard allows customers to utilize their systems as client or server for OPC alarms & events (historical) and OPC data access (real-time).

VideoVerification

Video verification is the process of comparing “live” (as it is happening) video with a photograph stored in the database. When a person swipes a badge through a reader, you can use video verification to compare the cardholder’s photo.
