MiAccess offers Ease
of Use, Installation
and Lower Cost
Videx has launched a
new offline, standalone
proximity access
control system.
» » MIACCESS IS IDEAL
for a wide range of
buildings that have single
or multiple entrances. This
includes offices, residential
homes and small guest
houses, as well as fitness
centres, caravan parks and
small hotels.
James Gray , Projects
Manager at Videx, said: “The
beauty of MiAccess is that
it can be part of a multiple
entrance (80 maximum)
system without the need to
cable between devices. This
means that it’s extremely
easy to install and very
cost effective too, ideal for
smaller installations saving
installation time while
still maintaining system
flexibility.”
A free software (PROA-
MS for access control and
PROH-MS for hotels and
guest houses) allows you to
configure the different access
levels, the user rights, and to
view reports. Access rights
of each user are stored on
the Mifare cards. The system
can be completely managed
from the user-friendly
PC programme, reducing
the installation cost and
complications associated
with routing cables around
a building. Multiple sites
can be managed from the
same PC programme making
this ideal for engineers who
maintain several installations.
The system also allows the
management of all access
points to be controlled from
your PC using read/write
Mifare cards to transfer data
to and from the readers when
required or alternatively,
data can be transferred using
the USB port found on each
reader.
Steve added: “This is a
complete user-friendly and
competitive access control
solution. It’s perfect for sites
where an online solution
cannot be used due to cable
restraints, or when a network
system is simply not needed.
The installation is much easier
because the only cabling
requirements are to the lock
release mechanism and a
power supply.”
Systems require only one
or more Mifare proximity
readers (available in a surface
silver or black finish and in
a flush white, silver or grey
finish), the management
software, Mifare cards and
a USB desktop reader for
enrolment. An optional exit
push button with a built-in
remote relay is also available
if higher security is needed.

SECURITY DOOR
CLOSER ON
SPECIFICATION
AWARDS SHORTLIST
» » THE DC700G-FT
Security Door Closer from the
ASSA ABLOY Door Hardware
and Access Control Group
has been shortlisted for the
Architectural Ironmongery
(AI) Specification Awards,
in the category of ‘Product
design and innovation’, which
is a new award for 2019.
Organised by the Guild of
Architectural Ironmongers
(GAI) and the Royal
Institute of British Architects
(RIBA), the AI Specification
Awards identify and reward
excellence in the specification
of architectural ironmongery
in the construction industry.
Featuring a distinctive
and stylish appearance, the
DC700G-FT allows any fire
or non-fire rated door to be
retrofitted with an electrical
locking mechanism. With
no morticing or rebating
required because the door
closer, lock and wiring is all
surface mounted, sites do not
need to be concerned that
the installation will risk a fire
door’s certification, or create
a lot of mess and disruption.
In addition, the locking
mechanism releases under
its full rated load, so it is safe
to use on escape ways, stair
cores or final escape doors.
The door closer also
features Cam-Motion®
technology, ensuring the
door is light to open while
retaining its closing power.
This ensures it meets both
the opening force detailed in
BS 8300-2:2018, as well as the
necessary fire closing force
requirements. This is in line
with the Equality Act 2010
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | JAN/FEB 2019
and Approved Document
M and B. Additionally the
DC700G-FT is CE Marked in
all three mounting positions
and independently tested for
use on fire doors.
The winners of the AI
Specification Awards will
be announced on Thursday
21 March at the OXO2 in
the OXO Tower building in
London.
Paul Johnson, Commercial
Director at ASSA ABLOY Door
Hardware and Access Control
Group, said: “Buildings
evolve and change over
time, and nowadays the
challenge is balancing any
new requirements while
maintaining security, escape
routes and fire door safety.
Our unique and innovative
DC700G-FT door closer helps
overcome these challenges,
by combining Cam-Motion®
technology and an escape
door strike all in one. This
offers both smooth operation
and reliable closing, with
secure locking, whilst being
fully certified.
“We are thrilled that our
class leading innovation
has been recognised by the
AI Specification Awards.
These awards truly represent
the best that architectural
ironmongery has to offer,
providing a celebration of the
finest work in the industry.”
