Access Control

EASY TO OPERATE

Protege GX comes with an intuitive and user friendly interface with graphical floor plans and highly customisable status pages for controlling and monitoring your access control system. Customisable alarm and event filters enable you to sort and categorise the event and alarm data that is shown; giving you complete control over every single aspect of your installation.

SIMPLE TO INTEGRATE

Protege GX is able to integrate with various third party systems, which further enables you to maximise the infrastructure and IT investments you already have available on site, and increase the level of security, while reducing integration costs. ICT’s open automation and control protocol allows third party developers to create custom integrations that communicate directly with the Protege GX Controller.

MODULAR DESIGN MAKES IT EASY TO EXTEND

Protege GX comes as a modular design, which makes it suitable for everyone – from small single door systems right through to large multinational corporations. Modular expansion allows the system to grow with you and proves to be very cost effective as you only add expander modules and optional functionality as you need.

FLEXIBLE, GRID BASED REPORTING TOOL

Powerful filtering and flexible reporting options enable you to quickly and easily obtain detailed and relevant event information. The Grid View reporting tool makes generation of custom reports a fast and efficient process:

• Live filtering as you type
• Custom complex filters
• Drag and drop to order
• Print, save and email directly from the software

All reports can be exported to a wide range of formats including PDF, HTML, XLS, and CSV.

Photo ID

Proximity or smart cards hold information that controls a user’s physical access to buildings and secure areas. Adding user details such as name, photo, signature and barcode to these cards, enhances security by adding a visual aspect to the identification. Photos are also displayed against the user events within Protege GX, enabling security personnel to quickly identify any discrepancies.

Visitor Management

Many visitors enter a ‘secure’ building and gain access by simply writing their name in a log book. While a paper based system may seem quick and economical, it provides little security and poses a range of other problems. Protege GX enables you to register and track your visitors directly from the interface, effectively eliminating the need for a separate visitor management system.

Time & Attendance

Access Control systems control what users can do, where they can go, and when they can do it. They also record when these events occur, effectively allowing you to track and monitor staff movements on site. Time and Attendance reports eliminate the need for a separate timekeeping system by using the access data to provide information on the in and out movements of staff.

Web Client

With no software to deploy to end user PCs, the web client provides a truly cross-platform solution that works on any platform and any device with a modern web browser. Wash your hands of dusty old desktop PCs with the freedom to monitor and control your sites from anywhere, at any time – the office, from home, or on the road. The freedom you’ve been waiting for.

Active Directory

Ninety percent of medium to large businesses use Active Directory services to provide centralised management of their servers, workstations, and users. Protege GX’s Active Directory integrations provide synchronisation and authentication for Active Directory users enabling these organisations to leverage on the user management and security policies that AD provides.

Muster Reports

Knowing who’s on site at any given time is a key requirement when it comes to complying with health and safety standards. Muster reports allow you to quickly identify who is in a defined area by listing all users that have entered and/or exited via the readers associated with a door. These are ideal for creating an evacuation list when a fire alarm is triggered.

Email on Event

When certain events occur, it can be important that the right people are notified quickly. The Email on Event feature allows you to send an email to a predefined user automatically when specific events are triggered. For example, emailing a muster report to the fire marshall when a fire alarm is activated, or notifying a building manager when access to a secure door is granted (or denied).

VoIP Station License

Seamless integration between Protege GX and VoIP compliant intercom systems, provides a cohesive, full featured communication solution. Protege workstations can be configured to register as a VoIP client, allowing direct communication with an IP intercom from within the GX interface.
