Viscount has been controlling facility access for over 30 years, but has today become a leader in the application of advanced IT technology to physical access. The foundation for this revolution is the company’s MESH Security Operating Platform, designed to reduce the complexity and cost of facility protection through the replacement of traditional hardware with IT servers and accessories. The result is more security for less money. The MESH platform is able to manage a large array of card access, intercom, video, and other devices, by using a common interface layer, and provides a critical and flexible foundation for Viscount products.
• Freedom – Viscount’s newest product, Freedom, is the world’s most advanced physical access control system. The system engages Microsoft’s Active Directory to offer unified logical and physical access control. It eliminates the need for costly dedicated access control panels, and removes cyber security risks associated with this legacy technology.
• Freedom Facility Friend – This is an add-on module to facilitate access control through manned entrances. Applications include photo badging, visitor management, incident reporting, scheduling, banned visitors, as well as lost-and-found. As a web-based application, it can link and manage an unlimited number of corporate locations.
• Freedom Cube – This is a software processing unit for the Freedom IP based system, with each Cube acting as a standalone access control system for up to 20 entrances. For more elaborate requirements, the Cubes can work as a local database appliance to provide redundant database support.
• Freedom Encryption Bridge – This is an IT platform that uses IP card reader bridges designed to eliminate the need of access control panels. You can turn any card reader into an IP device by connecting it to a Freedom Encryption Bridge.
• Freedom Raid Server – This is a premium central processing option. Each FRS can act as a standalone access control system, or can be used as a distributed database appliance working with other Freedom servers sharing data across a network.
• Freedom Mobile – This is Viscount’s latest software application. It eliminates the need for cards or readers by using a mobile device to open doors. It can also be used to track people or assets, plus can be used as an emergency notification system.
