industrynews • 5 PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE FROM THE TRADITIONAL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY »»Lincoln based Dynamic Access Solutions has developed a new product called eLOQ - an intelligent, smart key system designed to offer not only secure access, but also offer a greater degree of flexibility and intelligence not otherwise possible with traditional mechanical locks and keys. Although eLOQ locks are electronic, they 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. eLOQ keys can be programmed with personalised restrictions for each user – keys can be set-up to open only specific locks during a designated schedule and can also be given start and expiration points from when the key will start to operate and when it will completely disable the key. Each time a key is used, a record of the lock ID, date, time and event activity, is stored including authorised, Artwork Locksmith Journal HDTL.pdf 1 unauthorised or ‘out of hours’ access attempts. eLOQ keys store up to 3,000 audit records of the most recent access events. Peter Corlett, MD of Lincoln-based Dynamic Access Solutions describes eLOQ as “traditional robust technology enhanced by digital intelligence.” Peter explained 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.” Email: [email protected] Phone: +44 (0)1522 716327 Web: www.eloqsecurity.com 25/11/2015 09:21:19 09:20:54 locksmithjournal.co.uk | NOV/DEC 2015 Sponsored by ABUS
