rule

Full integration
 
SAFEnet incorporates security access control, alarm management, video badging, personnel administration, video and audio monitoring and recording, all into a seamlessly unified platform.

Ease of use
 
The SAFEnet software package incorporates an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) with simple point-and-click database editing and system monitoring controls.

Familiarity and compatibility
 
SAFEnet utilizes the power and security of MicrosoftÆ WindowsÆ 2000ô. The system's operational database, MicrosoftÆ SQL Server, provides complete SQL structures, functions and report generation. It offers the most flexible yet simple-to-use relational database features while providing standard ODBC interface capabilities for easy data importing and exporting with external third-party systems.

Designed for large-scale management
 
The Batch Editor enables users to make bulk database changes. It eliminates tedious and time-consuming manual editing of large numbers of records, without requiring the user to learn the SQL programming language.

Adjusts to your organization
 
The Card Editor supports updates to custom selection lists even while editing, allows user record recycling, and accommodates unique requirements on PIN numbers and special fields such as Social Security Numbers.

Accountability
 
The Badging System supports badge receipts, support for pre-canned badge print reasons with logging, and support for Wanted Posters.

Visitor control keeps you in charge of your facility while keeping it fully open to do business.

Scalability
 
The system can be configured to provide simple local access control and alarm monitoring, or it can be expanded to meet the high security needs of mission critical applications on wide area networks.

SAFEnet can be configured for single-user or multi-user systems with full-featured operator workstations on commercially available LAN/WAN backbones.

The modular design and scalable architecture is configured for security management systems ranging from medium sized facilities to large-scale multi-site high-end security applications.
