HONEYWELL EXPANDS

POPULAR ACCESS CONTROL FAMILY


BURGESS HILL, UK, June 15, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today introduced a version of its popular NetAXS web-based access control panel ideal for small installations. The new NetAXS™ 2-door web-based control panel provides all the security of an access control system with the convenience of managing it via a web browser. The panel allows users to protect as few as two doors and add more panels as needs change. In addition, the new NetAXS 2-door control panel can be used in conjunction with current NetAXS 4-door panel solutions to meet any access control requirements that customers may have. By combining the 2-door and 4-door solutions over any Ethernet network, users now have a powerful choice that can fit almost any application.

NetAXS is quick and easy to install and offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional PC-based systems because it allows end users to easily customise the level of security and functionality based on their needs. The system’s built-in web server allows end users to manage the system anywhere an Internet connection is available or alternatively by connecting a laptop directly to the panel’s Ethernet port. The web browser allows a customer to run reports, monitor events and alarms, and add and remove users. This flexibility is ideal for remote activity such as facility check-in, managed access and manual override of doors or time zones. With no PC software to install, customers who choose the web interface have no worries about operating system compatibility, virus attacks or other computer issues such as hard drive crashes or system lock-ups.

The NetAXS 2-door control panel can also be added to most installations that use Honeywell’s WIN-PAK® access control system and offers additional benefits over Honeywell’s traditional N-1000 control panels including on-board Ethernet, an expandable footprint, larger memory capacity and faster processing.

“With the addition of this new panel to the NetAXS family, we can offer an access control solution for any size facility,” said René von Franquemont, access control product marketing manager for Honeywell Systems Group EMEA. “This new panel is a strong addition to our access control offering. Its basic functionality provides greater flexibility in cost-effective security system design to answer the needs of our value-driven customers. The installer-friendly features and the intuitive browser-based interface enable NetAXS to be confidently installed by all, including those new to access control.”

Interesting. A bit scary opening up your security to the net though. Same can be said for DVRs.
