Conceptually, could there be an IPVM tool similar to the camera calculator but for Access Control Systems? ACS finder? ACS Hardware Finder etc..
Food for thought.
[NOTE: This has been moved to its own discussion: IPVM Access Control Finder?]

designers need to spend a significant amount of time in the planning phase before setting up schedules...other wise you can end up with a massive disorganized set of schedules with duplication.

Thank you Brian. We use Security Desk for VMS now and it was good t see these demonstrated in a familiar setting.

Thanks Brian, that was a really well done and highly informative presentation. I recently upgraded our Controller Management Software and one of the features I found on there that I think could be highly beneficial is a Threat Level tab which allows me to assign or limit access to specific users based on potential changes in activity at my site. Potentially very helpful in the case of say an Active Shooter situation where a lockdown is needed to be implemented, this can be performed almost instantaneously from the control center computer. I am not overly familiar with a variety of software platforms so is this a standard feature on most?

Very interesting, it is amazing the control the end user has. I wonder what happens when there is a power failure that last for a long time and there is no back up generator. Do all doors unlock?

Timothy Wackford
In most cases that depends on how the system is designed/programed. They can either fail safe where they unlock or fail secure where the doors remain locked and can be overridden with a manual key. I work for a US government agency that has police holding cells in some of our buildings so we have built in fail secure on any areas that houses prisoners but some of the other doors that are geared more towards dealing with the general public are fail safe so they can easily egress in case of emergency or power outages.

This reading did a great job of pointing out the differences in access functions.

Is some snapshot links broken above, as I can't only see long gaps between
Access Rules and Access Schedules etc. ?

Great presentation. Just as you said, terminology is different from one access control system to another, but, the basic ideas are the same.

We have an old Sielox/Pinnacle platform and the basic features have not change very much over the years. We seem to agree we would like to add doors individually per person or per access level.

These videos are a great "how to" with access control. Very informative.
