iGuard Security Appliance - IP Based, Secure and Easy to Use
SEAMLESS TIME ATTENDANCE MONITORING SYSTEM
REDUCES OVERHEAD,MINIMIZES ERRORS
iGuard, a time attendance security appliance system, utilizes patented embedded web server technology combined with fingerprint biometrics and smart card authentication. This is the world's ONLY available system that has achieved advanced operability using world-renowned TCP/IP networking protocol without having to compromise on security. A stand alone device that is location and platform independent, which is capable of running on various networks - the public Internet, GSM, GPRS and Wireless LAN.
TRANSPARENT SIMPLICITY
- A 24/7 time management solution that is easy to use and manage.
- Simple access and download procedures via any standard web browser on any Internet enabled device (even the new Apple iPad).
- TCP/IP allows for multiple location coverage.
- Allows you to keep track of employee attendance and time attendance records, irrespective of geographic location.
- Gather necessary data remotely at the central office from various remote locations.
- Can access individual devices from the corporate LAN or the public Internet.
iGuard System Features:
Multi-Factor Authentication:
With iGuard, users can be authenticated and verified through combinations of Fingerprint, Smartcard or Password. And depending on the different time period, you can set up the iGuard that the users can just simply presents his smartcard to get authorized (such as during high-traffic period), or require the high-security fingerprint verification (such as after office hours or during weekends and holidays).
Access Rights:
When you can easily and conveniently assign different access rights to your employees, you can plan your security better and maximize the effectiveness of your resources . With the built-in Web Server technology, iGuard empowers you to manage the access rights of each individual employees or a group of employees easily - anytime, anywhere using any web-enabled computers or mobile devices.
Reports:
iGuard includes built-in reports: Access Log, Attendance Report & Daily In/Out report, that can be accessed via any web-enabled computer with web browser. Should more sophisticated reports be required, such as for the payroll purposes, the information can be downloaded and saved in Microsoft Excel format and in plain text format (.csv). In addition, the master iGuard can be configured to connect to an ODBC compliant database real-timewith a tool that is available free-of-charge in our
iGuard socumentation and tools download page.
Economical:
All the necessary hardware and software is built-in to the device, including the hardware to connect the system to the corporate network. All you need to do is to plug-in a network cable to the back of the device and have a network connection on the cable.
No other hardware and wiring is necessary for all of the iGuards on your network to communicate with each other in Master/Slave mode. Select one iGuard (we suggest one in your HR office) as the master and all other iGuard units in your facility will coordinate and communicate with this Master device.
Simplicity:
iGuard is an Internet-Ready Security System, and uses your web browser to manage the entire system. As a result, users do not need to learn to use a new software to access and administer the device, and most users can start using the device in minutes. In contrast, all other similar security systems use proprietary protocol & wiring, and proprietary software is required to access these systems.
And for compatibility purposes with fire alarm systems and other security devices, iGuard also supports conventional interfaces including Wiegand OUTPUT, RS-485 & RS-232.
Now that's security, simplified!
FEATURES:
Multi-Factor Authentication:
With iGuard, users can be authenticated and verified through either Fingerprint, Smartcard or Password. And depending on the different time period, you can set up the iGuard that the users can just simply presents his smartcard to get authorized (such as during high-traffic period), or requires the high-security fingerprint verification (such as after office hours or during weekends and holidays).
Access Rights:
When you can easily and conveniently assign different access rights to your employees, you can plan your security better and maximize the effectiveness of the human resources . And with the built-in Web Server technology, iGuard empowers you to manage the access rights of each individual employees or a group of employees easily anytime, anywhere using any web-enabled computers or mobile devices. For example, you can assign the staff members of the marketing department the rights to get in the office premises during weekdays from nine to five only, or prevent a particular employee from entering the computer server room.
Reports:
iGuard includes three built-in reports: Access Log, Attendance Report & Daily In/Out report, that can be accessed via any web-enabled computer with web browser. Should more sophisticated reports be required, such as for the payroll purposes, the information can be downloaded and saved in Microsoft Excel format and in plain text format. In addition, the access records can be saved in any PC in the network in the popular ODBC database format in real-time manner, and other applications can conveniently obtain the information from the ODBC (the required software, iServer is available free-of-charge in our download page)
Economical:
All the necessary hardware and software is built-in to the device, including the hardware to connect the system to the corporate network. All you need to do is to plug-in the popular RJ-45 network cable to the back of the device. No other hardware and wiring is necessary. In contrast, all other existing security systems use the old RS232 & RS485 wiring system to connect to the dedicated computers (not to the corporate network), and it usually involves a lot of extra wiring works. 5. Small Footprint:
iGuard is a wall-mounted unit elegantly designed with extremely small footprint. In fact, it is the smallest stand-alone biometrics device available in the market today. It can be mounted easily and conveniently without requiring a lot of space.
Simplicity:
iGuard is an Internet-Ready Security System, and is the first and the only network appliance security product in the market that uses TCP/IP as the protocol to communicate with other iGuards and the outside world. The protocol enables the device to directly connect to the corporate network via the existing cable wiring. And since the TCP/IP protocol is the Internet protocol, it allows all computers in the corporate network to access the device using the Internet Browser software. As a result, users do not need to learn to use a new software to access and administer the device, and most users can start using the device in minutes. In contrast, all other similar security systems use proprietary protocol & wiring, and proprietary software is required to access these systems.
And for compatibility purposes, iGuard also supports conventional interfaces including Wiegand OUTPUT, RS-485 & RS-232.
Security: IG-ER-01
The IG-ER-01 Secure Strike Relay controller further increases the security level by controlling the door strike from inside of the premises. With this optional controller, the iGuard sends a special signal to this controller to open the door, rather than directly open the door with the internal relay. Because this optional controller is installed inside the premises, it is now impossible for the intruders to get into the premises, even if they destroy the iGuard.
