A MORE INTELLIGENT AND INTUITIVE
ACCESS CONTROL SOLUTION
» » VANDERBILT, A LEADING PROVIDER
of state-of-the-art security systems, has
integrated the Aperio® wireless locking
technology from ASSA ABLOY Access
Control with its new ACT Enterprise
platform.
The decision by Vanderbilt to integrate
products from ASSA ABLOY Access
Control’s leading Aperio® portfolio with
ACT Enterprise will enable customers to
easily add mechanical locks to their access
control system. Offered at an affordable
price, Aperio® ensures users require
minimal additional hardware to upgrade
their premises to wireless access control.
David Smyth, Regional Sales Manager
at ASSA ABLOY Access Control, added:
“Helping commercial businesses to quickly
and conveniently implement an intelligent
access control system across their site, our
battery-operated Aperio® innovations are
fast to install, dependable and offered in a
stylish, contemporary design.”
With the latest version of ACT
Enterprise available now, the system
includes a rules mapping engine and a
smartphone app that enables users to
stay in control of their facilities’ access
control requirements from the
palm of their hand.
One of the newest ASSA
ABLOY products that the
ACT Enterprise platform is
compatible with is the Aperio®
H100. Requiring no drilling or wiring
to install, the Aperio® H100 has been
designed to complement most modern
commercial office environments, and
works with common European and
Scandinavian mortise locks, in wooden,
steel, tubular frame or glass doors with
standard lock cases.
Andrew Fulton, Head of Access
Control Product Line at Vanderbilt,
said: “The security systems market is
moving towards more intelligent and
intuitive solutions,
which require only one-
time data entry for users, permissions,
configuration and system behaviour. To
meet this demand, we made the decision
to integrate our ACT Enterprise access
control solution with ASSA ABLOY Access
Control’s Aperio® products. These have
an excellent reputation in the market
for being a reliable, trusted and high-
performance access control range.”

Videx Expands GSM Offering
Videx, the experts in door entry and access control, has expanded its GSM range,
introducing a new device compatible with its flagship VX2200 system, both 2
wire audio and 6 wire video versions, that enables audio calls to be made
from any of the VX2200 entrances to a mobile phone or land line.
» » STRENGTHENING VIDEX’S
presence in the GSM entry market, the
2270 is a 2G/3G device which is suitable
for new and existing systems within
residential apartments. It has the ability to
call up to 180 apartments with the facility
to release the door after verifying the
caller.
Neil Thomas, National Sales Manager
at Videx, said: “The 2270 offers residents
the facility to answer calls from their
VX2200 system even when they’re not at
home, offering additional security to their
property. The device diverts a call directly
to the resident’s mobile or alternative land
line, so that they’re always aware of who
is visiting, even when they’re away. A key
feature is the facility to connect multiple
entrances (up to 15) using only a single
SIM card. Also featured within the device
is a dial to open facility for up to 3,000
telephone numbers with 3 relay output.
A caller can ring the 2270 and if their
number is stored in the dial to open list it
will activate one or more of the relays.”
Further features include three auxiliary
inputs which are fully programmable for
a number of functions such as sending
text messages and activating relays
for different functions. The three relay
outputs are also programmable for a
number of functions such as remote relays
for Secured by Design requirements,
the official UK Police flagship initiative
combining the principles of ‘designing out
crime’ with physical security.

Neil added: “Alarms triggered by
an apartment can also be handled by
the 2270, either by sending an SMS
to a number or by activating a relay.
What’s more, an event log, that can
store up to 8,000 events, is maintained
within the GSM module and can be
integrated via the USB port and the
PC software which includes many
features to simplify the installation and
programming process. Programming
can be carried out using either text
messages or with a PC using the USB
connection or RS485 link.”
