About the product
SACS Connect is our advanced software package. This powerful solution utilizes Microsoft SQL Server databases and offers a range of robust features tailored for larger installations. The software boasts a user-friendly Microsoft Windows-based interface with a multiple document interface, enabling concurrent display of multiple windows.
The access log events monitor provides real-time access clockings and displays basic details of tag holders as they swipe at readers. Each clocking can be analyzed, and tag holder photos can be readily displayed. In case of any necessary changes, tag holder information can be edited directly from the monitoring list.
SACS also includes a comprehensive locations viewer, allowing you to track the zones occupied by tag holders at any given time. Moreover, it incorporates graphical site plans that can be triggered in response to events or displayed in specific areas of the screen. These vector-based plans can be interacted with, enabling actions such as opening or closing doors directly from the graphical interface.
The software empowers you to create and customize graphical objects using polygon, line, rectangle, text, and other basic graphic elements. These objects can be dynamically modified in response to events and seamlessly linked to hardware events, providing real-time system status updates.
Furthermore, SACS Connect offers a range of features including online and offline event/action combinations. This means that events like forced door openings can trigger one or more actions, such as activating a siren in a surveillance room and adjusting camera views on a multiplexer.
SACS Connect is designed to deliver comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of your access control system.
Operation
Any changes made at the PC are immediately communicated and stored at the controller. When a user presents their card to the reader, the controller identifies them and permits or denies access as appropriate. The software is used to view realtime event logs, manage Tag Holders and configure the hardware.
