Honeywell and Bold Technologies Ltd. are collaborating to provide integrated access control software that allows central stations to offer new remote management services for customer sites.
The solution combines Honeywell’s remote managed access control system, WIN-PAK® PRO Central Station, with Bold’s Manitou central station automation software. The combination enables remote managed access control as a value-added service for the central station, while providing an alternative to customer-managed access control, according to Jerry Winslow, vice president, Bold Technologies Ltd.
“Using WIN-PAK PRO Central Station and Manitou, dealers can add value to every installation and users can be assured that their systems are properly managed,” Winslow says.
According to a joint company statement, central stations will be able to respond to requests for adding and deleting access cards; create customized reports on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis; receive detailed reports via Web-enabled devices; and grant customers limited system access through a Web browser interface that lets them manage cards and create their own reports.
All system events will be managed through Honeywell’s WIN-PAK PRO central station while users control the system using Bold’s Manitou interface.
