ACT365 is Winner at Detektor International Awards

Vanderbilt’s ACT365 is a winner at the Detektor International Awards 2018. The complete access control and video management solution was successful in the IoT security category. The spearhead of ACT365’s benefits is that it is hosted in the cloud and therefore delivers remote access and instant management to protect your premises.

The Detektor International Awards reward and encourage research and development within the security technology field. Thus, the awards recognize products that meet the criteria of outstanding innovations and contributions to the advancement of the security industry.

Access control and video management are key security systems. ACT365 creates a complete system, delivering a force that gives business owners far greater visibility and control of their property.

If there is somebody at your site entrance, you can verify the person and open the door with a click of a button - all from your smartphone. Consider this, say an incident occurs at a door, as they often do, and the cash office is broken into. ACT365 allows you to simply click on the access control event “Door Forced” to locate and review recorded footage of the incident occurring whether you are in, or out of the office. Without ACT365, the existing alternatives involve being on site, trying to match up times on disparate security systems and sifting through reams of footage to locate the incident.

Another example of ACT365’s firepower can be seen at gyms or other types of membership clubs. For instance, if gym members are passing their access fobs to friends who are not members, with ACT365 you can quickly match up access control events with relevant camera footage and email the clips to those members who are allowing their fobs to be misused. This is an effective way of ensuring the practice does not continue.

A traditional security system can only be accessed from a PC in a security office, or when a laptop is plugged into a controller, or a monitor into a Network Video Recorder (NVR) to retrieve important data. This is at best a reactive approach to security management and usually culminates in important events being missed and the same security breaches happening time and time again. With Vanderbilt’s ACT365, a business owner or security manager can access the system 365 days a year from any device, smartphone, tablet, laptop, or PC. This makes management simple and intuitive.
