WinDSX is a powerful access control and system monitoring
application that harnesses the power of the Windows XP,
Vista, and 7 Professional™ operating systems. WinDSX
combines point monitoring and access control with Photo ID
Badging, Time and Attendance, Alarm Graphics, DVR/NVR
Integration, Elevator Control, Alarm Email/Text Message
Notification, Threat Level Management, HazMat / Emergency
Lockdown, and FIPS/TWIC card compatibility.
WinDSX can support your access control needs from a single
PC or multi-user Local Area Network to an enterprise solution
with SQL Server as the database engine. The system utilizes
TCP/IP network communications to provide user interaction
and real time monitoring to the workstation PC’s located
anywhere on the LAN or WAN. Password protection allows
for operator specific capabilities at each workstation.
There are two Editions of Software. WinDSX comes standard
with a Microsoft Access database engine. WinDSX SQL is
designed to work with Microsoft SQL Server as the database
engine. Both editions of WinDSX have similar features and
capabilities. Microsoft SQL Server is user supplied.
WinDSX implements Point and Click operation with
hierarchical tree views and pop up menus for ease of use. I/O
monitoring and control is achieved through animated icons
that depict the real time status of each input or output. I/O
points can also be assigned to an Override Group to allow for
multiple inputs and outputs to be monitored and controlled
from a single icon.
Scheduled Overrides can be assigned to individual Inputs and
Outputs as well as Override Groups. These schedules allow
operators to quickly assign time and date sensitive instructions
determining the open/secure status of outputs and the armed
state of inputs.
Workstation Desktop
Graphic alarm maps can be configured to provide detailed
information about any I/O point in the system. The graphic
map displays the true real time status of each I/O point and
allows the operator to perform manual overrides of the inputs
and outputs directly from the map.
Graphic Alarm Maps
Cameras can be controlled with standard pan/tilt and zoom
functions when the system is connected to a matrix type
switcher. WinDSX has the ability to integrate with over 20
different DVR and NVR systems. This integration allows
stored and live video from the DVR to be accessed within the
WinDSX software. All video is transmitted across a network
connection.
WinDSX flexible linking capabilities allow for any card, input
or output in a location to link (interlock) with any other input
or output in that location. Complicated applications such as
mantraps are simply a matter of programming and require no
additional equipment. This allows for custom solutions such as
floor select elevator control and automatic handicap doors.
Custom History reports can be defined choosing any
combination of locations, doors, events, and cardholders
providing as general or specific a report as needed. The reports
can be previewed before printing and can be sent to a local
printer or any printer on the LAN. Report configurations can
be saved and run at any time. History reports can be
preconfigured and automatically run up to twice a day each
day of the week and even Emailed from the workstation they
were created on.
With the new Global Access Level Manager an unlimited
number of temporary and permanent access levels can be
assigned to card holders. These Access Levels now span
across grouped locations. Temporary Access Levels are date
controlled.
