The Ability to Remotely Manage Your Buildings
Remote management is no longer an afterthought when designing a new security system. It has become a more commonly discussed requirement as more and more organizations have branches and offices across multiple geographic locations. End-users look for remote management functionality in access control systems to maximize efficiency and help lower administrative costs.
Paxton offers access control solutions that are simple to use and allow remote management of one site or multiple sites.
Paxton’s Net2 is an advanced PC-based access control solution offering centralized administration and control of sites with up to 1,000 doors and 50,000 users. Net2Online is available with Net2 Pro software and is free for users to use. Its web user interface allows flexible site management via a browser.
Steve Woodbridge, Global Training Manager at Paxton, said: “The ability to remotely administrate a site is not only convenient but also makes management efficient. This can potentially reduce the need to physically travel to sites which can save time and money. For example, users can remotely open doors, add, delete and edit users, and view reports, enabling simple and flexible site management.”
Also from Paxton is Paxton10 - the future-proof, online access control and video management solution. With the software being web browser based, it allows facility managers to access the system from any device with an internet connection, scalable up to 1,000 doors, 1,000 cameras and 50,000 users. Paxton10 brings remote management to the next level with its license-free Multi-site feature.
Steve explains: “Paxton10’s Multi-site functionality allows administrators to manage across 100 sites on one single server, regardless of geographical distance. It helps save cost from installing one system at each site. This is especially useful in settings such as multi-tenant offices or residential buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and more.”
The Paxton Connect app, which can be used with both Net2 and Paxton10, makes remote site management even more simple and convenient. Administrators can access the software from a smartphone or tablet and manage their sites remotely.
Steve said: “Networking and achieving connectivity between sites can be complicated as there is a myriad of technology to navigate. With Multi-site and the Paxton Connect app, this is all in the background and made simple for installers and end-users.”
