    Ocularis

    The Ocularis IP Video Management platform features license plate recognition capabilities by INEX/ Zamir, which capture images despite bright headlights, direct sunlight or low light levels.

      Panic Alarm

      The easy to install, tamper-resistant “panic alarm” on the Pistol Pad allows gun owners to keep handguns secured and accessible. By lifting the handgun from the pad, authorized users can immediately arm themselves. When activated by others, the local panic alarm sounds and alerts the central station to a possible panic situation in which a gun has been deployed. The device fits into any night stand or desk drawer.

          Privacy Protection Foil

          Privacy Protection Foil

          The FIPS 201-approved Privacy Protection Foil consists of passport covers and electronically opaque sleeves that are used to house and protect cards containing RFID radioactive chips, including PIV, smart, credit, campus ID, passport, healthcare and green cards, as well as drivers’ licenses. The material can be incorporated in wallets, handbags, briefcases and any other products that need protection. It completely covers both sides of personal items and will block any skimming device from penetrating the RFID chip.

          Electronic Keypad Deadbolt

          The Electronic Keypad Deadbolt provides keyless access and fits all doors with standard deadbolt prep. The deadbolt features eight keyway options that support a wide range of installed systems, an administrative code that restricts programming privileges, manual bolt operation and NightWatch deadbolt technology. The six-button keypad stores up to 20 different user codes. Available in four finishes, the angular shape of the keypad makes for easier viewing, and installation requires no special wiring or drilling.

            The E-Digital Electronic Deadbolt Lock replaces existing deadbolts and is keypad operated so no keys are necessary. The lock has an auto-locking function, improving security and convenience and preventing incomplete door locking. The weatherproof lock features up to six user codes for access and one-time user code capability. Users can program and change codes with the touch of a button, and, with the unit’s LED illumination, they can operate it in the dark.

              OnGARD

              OnGARD

              The OnGARD security door brace is designed to prevent burglaries and violent home invasions. The door brace’s strength resists blows from kick-ins, shoulder slams and sledge hammers. It prevents a door frame from splintering and separating from a deadbolt. The two-piece design uses both the strength of the floor and a space-age polymer, which is the same material used in U.S. fighter planes.

                Arrow Lock

                Revolution

                Revolution

                The Revolution touchscreen keyless entry system is impervious to water, heat and impact, yet offers controlled access for multiple users. The system reduces the need to distribute and keep track of multiple keys and is ideal for buildings that need to limit traffic to controlled areas. Installation takes about five minutes with a multilingual voice prompt guiding the user through the programming process. Up to 1,000 codes are available in advanced mode.

                  Watchhound

                  Watchhound

                  The Watchhound continuously scans cell phone-prohibited areas for wireless activity, essentially creating wireless-free zones without jamming. All cellular calls are detected and time-stamped for later analysis. The receiver can be configured to look like a common wall thermostat and features an OLED display, remote control and PoE. The monitor’s thumbstick/ push-button control allows security personnel to set threshold levels, check past cell phone activity and detect all voice, text and cellular data triggers in real-time.
