Intelli-M Access supports standard server hardware, standard operation systems and standard network infrastructure . Additionally, Intelli-M eliminates the need for custom wiring, additional panels and unnecessary appliances.
Ultimately, the infinias solution simplifies system management, and lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) for your
organization.
In today’s organizations, the network has quickly become the most critical infrastructure component . As a result, considerable planning and investment is made in ensuring that the network is secure, reliable and well-managed.
IP-based solutions allow the organization to leverage its network investment, and at the same time improve management and reliability of network applications.
The Intelli-M solution uses existing network infrastructure by moving the eIDC32 (Ethernet Integrated Door Controller) to the door, which eliminates the need for a traditional central access panel - lowering both equipment and installation costs.
In addition, PoE(Power over Ethernet) powers the eIDC32 and all peripheral door hardware, including readers, strikes, PIRs, REXs and sensors. This significantly reduces the length and number of copper strands. Finally, a single Ethernet cable from the eIDC32 to the nearest which simplifies and streamlines the installation .
Intelli-M Access is browser-based, enabling you to run it from anywhere with any browser-capable device connected to the network. This eliminates the headache of installing client software, managing updates, and worrying about which computers the access control management software needs to be installed on .
Additionally, the ability to access the system - immediately - from anywhere with network connectivity can be critical for security-related events.
Network-based access control solutions offer inherent advantages for stability and ease of management, including UPS at the switch for battery back-up power, management of cable/switch infrastructure via SNMP, and leverage of network monitoring tools. The use of eIDC32 single-door controllers provides complete hardware failure protection - if one door goes down, others are not affected.
The infinias Intelli-M Access IP-based access control system provides total scalability. Add one or more doors as your needs grow. Simply add an eIDC32 door controller and connect a CAT5/6 cable to the nearest network switch.
Intelli-M Access can be run in an organization’s virtual environment, elimination the need to purchase dedicated server hardware . The result is increased reliability and scalability, simplified monument, and reduced power consumption and carbon footprint.
