EST’s Access Control Database (ACDB), the centerpiece of Synergy-enabled access control, is an extremely powerful Windows®-based program that provides all the tools for a comprehensive access control plan. From anti-passback safeguards, to two-person rules, to escort required procedures and extensive scheduling options, the ACDB is easy to use and simple to customize.

Grant barrier-free privileges to a disabled cardholder by selecting a single checkbox. Change access levels with the click of the mouse Even assign multiple access levels to a single cardholder. The ACDB can track and manage any schedule, any pattern of access that building occupants can generate.

The ACDB keeps costs down by eliminating the need for a dedicated PC, and multiple users can share the database over any typical LAN, WAN, or modem, whether they’re down the hall or across the globe. Locally, the ACDB supports multiple tenant operations that allow individual leaseholders to manage their own database of cardholders. These databases provide control over tenant-controlled private areas, as well as common areas shared by all tenants.

Synergy-enabled EST3 with access control represents a breakthrough in system design that delivers much more than a separate life safety or access control system. Sharing a common backbone, these functions benefit from an economy of scale that just can’t be beat.
