 Challenge
|
| Access to real-time security data is critical to respond effectively to alarms within a facility. Monitoring magnetic badge readers, sensors, CCTV equipment or door controllers from a central security office improves efficiencies dramatically but when older equipment is serial-based, cabling limitations can make this difficult and the requirement for dedicated PCs can be costly. |
Solution |
| Precidia's Remote Access serial to IP converters can overcome networking challenges for legacy security systems. These products, including the compact iPocket232, can connect RS232, RS422 and RS485 based equipment to an enterprise LAN/WAN without regard to distance. By networking security equipment like CCTV cameras and badge readers, stand-alone systems can be monitored, controlled and accessed in real-time from a central location, optimizing resources and improving response time. |
| Facilities Managers and Security VARs choose Precidia's solution because it can offer network connectivity to almost any environment, via Ethernet, PPP Dial or PPP Wireless. Whether you need to manage systems in a single building or spread across a campus, Precidia IP adapters can connect everything from field perimeter intrusion detection sensors to outdoor CCTV cameras, easily and cost effectively. |

| Success Story |
| Traf-Sys offers a complete turnkey people counting system, which helps retailers collect valuable data on pedestrian traffic. Traf-Sys turned to Precidia’s iPocket232 to transmit traffic data from RS232-based MIU controllers to a server with Traf-Sys people counting data processing software. Customers receive accurate people counting data in real-time, easily accessible from a PC. Traf-Sys President Chris Wadsworth says “Our customers look to us for accurate, timely data on entry/exit, as well as diagnostics. With the iPocket232, we can provide this data easily”. Deployed in hundreds of retail and convention center locations, the iPocket232 has enhanced the usability of critical data for business owners. |
