BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 2003--GE Interlogix, CASI Division today announced Picture Perfect 2.0(TM) an enterprise access control and security management system.
The new release offers many enhancements including advanced access control technology, alarm monitoring capabilities, scalability and availability in stand alone, redundant and enterprise environments.
Most of the Fortune 100 security systems run on CASI access control systems from GE Interlogix, said Juan Cabezas, president of GE Interlogix, CASI Division.
The enhanced features of Picture Perfect 2.0 are a direct result of feedback from many of these enterprise customers and the product is designed to support them in running their businesses effectively and safely.
The new eFlash feature allows us to upgrade our system live, without downtime, said Sean Green, senior project engineer for Bausch & Lomb.
This is important since we use Picture Perfect for monitoring both our security systems and for our mission critical factory operations. We can't afford for the system to be down ever, even during upgrades.
GE manufactures both the Picture Perfect software and micro controllers. This ensures backwards compatibility, protects the investment customers have already made and extends the life of the security system. In addition, Picture Perfect features a modular architecture, allowing unlimited expandability.
Picture Perfect also allows web-based clients and web-based reporting which improves access and provides more detailed reporting capabilities. Picture Perfect's visitor system replaces manual visitor logbooks.
This system frees up valuable time for security personnel and allows them to focus on other business instead of creating badges.
Picture Perfect is designed as a mission-critical application and works on IBM RS/6000 series servers running AIX5.1L or Intel architecture servers running Red Hat Linux 7.3.
Picture Perfect 2.0 also supports the Informix Dynamic Server IDS 2000 9.3, which provides increased management capabilities for complex databases without compromising system performance and scalability.
Picture Perfect 2.0 features eFlash, a new capability allowing remote, live upgrades of field panels, without downtime. It also has new e-mail pager alarm routing to help security personnel identify critical alarms remotely.
The new version incorporates Access Vision 2.0, an imaging option for Picture Perfect; to allow easy photo capture and the ability to produce badges without being connected to the network. It makes use of a seed counter, which is an ID number automatically generated by the system providing a unique tracking mechanism and meeting FAA requirements for airports.
Picture Perfect 2.0 is available immediately.
