Date and time stamps of the activity is also recorded within the key for full accountability. Keys can be assigned a begin date and an expiration date, along with flexible time periods. Locks contain no batteries or wiring, all of the power required to operate the lock is taken from the key upon insertion. Locks easily retrofit into existing locations where you might commonly see mechanical locks, such as doorways, cabinets, safes and padlocked areas, in fact almost any application controlled by a mechanical lock. Peter Corlett, MD, Dynamic Access Solutions explains the inspiration behind eLOQ: “Key control is often a problem for many businesses and all too often, a compromise is made – which is obviously never ideal with security issues. If a key becomes lost, the security level either plummets or a costly rekey exercise is required.” ‘revolutionise’ [email protected] 01522 716327 www.eloqsecurity.com Increase your revenue with Keywise »»London-based technology start-up KeyWise (www.keywise.co) is developing a new mobile phone application enabling back-up, copy and duplication of physical keys with digitally scanned blueprint securely saved in the Cloud.
