WATCH AND LEARN
Challengers SLDC2 is a self-contained and fully automatic PIR flood light with in built CCTV camera – a great security solution for a domestic dwelling or a commercial property. It is ideal as a simple retrofit replacement operating day or night, is simple to install and easy to set up, and has a number of improvements over its predecessor − the SLDC1. The in built three mega pixel SD card can store video footage of up to 1,700 video clips, 10,000 still images, or a combination of both which can be removed for viewing on a laptop or computer. It can also be permanently connected for direct download to a computer via the USB cable, allowing footage to be viewed in real time. Each picture and video is time and date stamped which may be required in case of
a prosecution.
The size of the video clip is adjustable between 10 seconds and 60 seconds so the end user can control how long the recordings are.

PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
The new Fortessa PC based access control system from AVS offers increased security levels and flexibility to the access of the personnel. Organisations of all sizes are discovering the benefits of replacing their old key-based systems with electronic control systems. Instructions given at the PC are sent to each of the doors where the computer will keep a record of who entered each door. A fob can be barred from all of the doors instantly. Flexible control allows the administrator to set up different access permissions for individuals or groups of users.
Besides the lower operating costs, a PC based system provides easy administration and is a cost effective alternative for when keys are lost, as there is no need to replace the locks to maintain security. The Fortessa control system can configure up to 2,000 fobs,
cards or sticky dots and can control up to 16 doors. It also comes complete with a lifetime warrantee.
