SIEMENS LATEST TAKE CENTRE STAGE
Taking centre stage for Siemens at Security Essen 2014 were three of the latest additions
to the company’s portfolio – the Aliro access control system, theVectis iX family of
IP-based video recording solutions and the SPC intruder alarm system range.
Making its debut at Security Essen, the
Aliro access control system is suitable
for small to medium sized commercial
applications such as retail outlets, health
centres or offices.
It incorporates a flat system architecture
with easy to use Internet based software
and intuitive mobile applications. Offering
a flexible yet robust access control solution,
it enables system management from almost
any device with Internet access and, as
well as distributed applications, supports
up to 512 doors, 10,000 users and 100,000
access cards. Aliro works with the new
range of card readers announced earlier
this year. These robust, attractive MiFare
card readers feature an integral LED
based screen that facilitates cardholder
interaction by displaying messages based
on a user’s individual credentials.
Also on show was Siemens popular SPC
intruder alarm system range, which has
recently received approvals in line with the
Swiss SES EMA, French NF and Belgian
TO-14 (INCERT) standards, as well as
EN50131 and EN50136 standards. This
confirms that the products are suitable for
use in applications where end users and
their insurers require compliance with
these standards. This makes the range a
particularly attractive choice for installers
and distributors that operate in more than
one country, as they no longer need to
order separate products for each market.
The new approvals apply specifically to
SPC control panels with the latest 3.4.5
firmware version and to the extended range
of SPC peripherals, which includes the
latest comfort keypads, key switches and
indication expanders.
When it comes to high definition (HD)
video, the new Vectis iX range of IP video
recording solutions from Siemens was of
significant interest to attendees looking
for performance that captures all the
finest details. Setting new benchmarks in
functionality, compatibility, speed, value
for money and future proofing, Vectis iX
is fully scalable and suitable for a diverse
range of applications. Vectis iX comprises
self-contained network video recorders
(NVRs) and network video software (NVS),
both of which are capable of recording
full-HD images from up to 48 3MP cameras
simultaneously at 25fps.
Joining Aliro, SPC and Vectis iX were
the new Magic PDM-IXx12/T and PDMIXx18/T dual motion detectors, which offer
reliable detection of intruders and high
false alarm immunity.
