Access control company Synergistics Inc. has introduced Presidio, a Web-based system that can be integrated with a number of access control hardware controllers. The company says alarms and events can be securely monitored in real-time via the Internet/intranet by using 128SSL encryption. Alarm event information is routed automatically to cell phones, pagers and e-mail. Other standard features include alarm prioritization, scheduled reports via e-mail, anti-passback capability and online help screens.

Presidio is built on a networkable, IP-addressable hardware platform and it is accessible through TCP/IP via the Internet/intranet/LAN or wireless connection. The software is available with an MSDE or MS SQL database.

The access control system downloads cardholder and other configuration information to determine access levels. It can be programmed for up to 255 different access levels.
