Allegion-IDenticard Integration for K-12 Security
CARMEL, IND.– Allegion US announced that IDenticard’s PremiSys™ software now integrates with its newest K-12 security solution, the Von Duprin® Remote Undogging (RU) and Remote Monitoring (RM) options. These wireless solutions expand the reach of electronic access control to secondary openings.
“Controlling access is a critical part of a school’s efforts to provide a safe learning environment, and it begins with a secure perimeter,” said Yong Lacy, Allegion US category leader, openings. “We’ve found that many schools focus a majority of funds on the front entrance, which, unfortunately, leaves secondary entrances vulnerable. In response, Allegion created the Von Duprin RU and RM options to help schools build a more secure perimeter within budget. Our Software Alliance members like IDenticard help make this possible.”
When integrated with IDenticard’s PremiSys, end users can remotely lock and monitor every connected opening—from classrooms to common areas to perimeter doors—through a single database. Lockdown of an entire facility can occur with the push of a button.
The Von Duprin RU retrofit kit for exit devices is a cost-effective solution for these secondary openings that enables remote undogging for centralized lock down and door status monitoring with integrated request to exit (RX), latch bolt (LX) and door position switch (DPS) signaling capabilities. The RU connects wirelessly via BLE to the ENGAGE Gateway, providing real-time, bi-directional communication to the IDenticard PremiSys software via IP network connection directly to the Gateway. RU is a modular battery powered kit that can be added on to existing Von Duprin 98/99 and 33A/35A series devices. The RM option is the sensor-only configuration for exit-only or fire-rated doors that require monitoring. It provides visibility to door status with the same RX, LX and DPS signals as the RU, without the centralized lockdown component.
"IDenticard's team of access control specialists works closely with Allegion representatives to deliver premier solutions for the end user," said Aaron Henderson, director of sales at IDenticard Access Control. "This latest product integration enables IDenticard to deliver a more sophisticated enterprise solution for schools, hospitals and other facilities that would benefit from the ability to immediately lock down every door in their facility and gain peace of mind in knowing that all doors are secured."

Wisenet Q Series Affordable Cameras and NVRs
Teaneck, NJ –Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of IP and analog video surveillance solutions, introduces the Wisenet Q series line of affordable cameras and NVRs, billed as an affordable professional product line that offers simple and essential features that are ideal for small to medium-sized applications.
The Wisenet Q series offers a range of 24 indoor and outdoor dome cameras to meet the needs of a variety of customers looking for sharp and clear image quality at an affordable price, including retail, banking, offices, transportation and more. Available in 2MP and 4MP resolutions, the Q series cameras are packed with innovative features.
The new QRN NVRs provide high-performance recording solutions yet cost-effective options for smaller installations such as offices and retailers. Customers can save on both installation costs and time by using the Wisenet Q series together with the new Q series PoE NVRs (Network Video Recorders). The PoE ports negate the need for the provision of separate power cables and plug points for each camera or the need for an external PoE switch.
By using the metadata from the cameras, the new QRN NVRs can improve the searching methods of the archived videos. Users can search the metadata via Smart Search, Virtual Lines, and Enter/Exit boxes. These features can be used in combination to reduce the amount of time needed to search for any specific motion-related events.
Should there be a temporary network fault preventing the streaming of captured images to any of the NVRs, an Automatic Recovery Backup (ARB) feature automatically and seamlessly feeds the missing images from the respective cameras’ SD card when the network connection is re-established. This ensures there are no missing gaps in the recording of what could be important evidence of an incident.
The QRN NVRs provide support for the latest version of the Wisenet Mobile App by using a QR code for each of the connected cameras. NVRs can easily be added to the Wisenet Mobile App list by simply scanning the QR code with a smartphone.
The QRN NVRs are fully compatible with Wisenet WAVE VMS (Video Management Software), an extremely easy-to-use and scalable software solution that maximizes the efficiency of Wisenet network cameras and provides the option to seamlessly monitor, expand, and scale its systems.
