The KEYWATCHER

Computerised Key Control System


If keys are lost, what's the cost?
Replacing and re-keying is expensive, but lost confidence costs even more.
• KeyWatcher
• Key Management Systems
• Computerized key control with total accountability
.

No more sloppy tags, no more outdated manual logs, no more wondering who took the key.
Smart Key
The system starts by attaching your key to the patented smart key. The tough, tamper-proof housing holds a smart chip that creates the electronic link between the key and the cabinet. Each key is individually electronically coded and they come in a variety of colours. No sloppy tags or labels.
Storage Cabinet
The Secure Key Storage Cabinet is a solid 18 gauge steel cabinet with a built in CPU and keypad. You don't need a computer - it's built in. It mounts on any wall and is available with an optional glass front. You can configure multiple cabinets to handle thousands of keys. Power failure? Not a problem, KeyWatcher will run for up to 48 hours with it's internal battery system, should power go off.
Access
Your keys are securely locked until the proper pre-assigned PIN code is entered. KeyWatcher will unlock the door, locate the right key and signify it with a red light. Only that key is released and KeyWatcher records who removed it and when.
When you want to return the key you simply enter your user PIN code, open the door and put the key back in ANY slot. The system knows which key it is and registers it into the log files for reporting and future access.
KeyWatcher takes accountability for your keys. KeyWatcher also lets you know when something is wrong. An overdue key, an open door, or even misuse of the keypad will trigger an alarm and record the event in the log file.
Other access options include Magnetic, Prox, and Biometric Readers.
Reporting
KeyWatcher has powerful audit trail reporting. You can track key movements by date, time or PIN code. You can track user activity - who took which key and when.
Connectivity
With its built-in serial port connectivity you can access, program and monitor KeyWatchers over a network from anywhere in the world! Access reports, change users or configure KeyWatcher using TCP/IP from your location.
Key-Pro™ Software
KeyWatcher has some sophisticated software that is powerful yet easy to use. Key-Pro Performance Software allows you to manage your keys the way you want. Assign users and put restrictions on them - this allows you to customize every user and which keys they can access and how long they should have them. You are allowed to have up to 1000 users. Key-Pro also features real time logging, activity is recorded and reported in real time. Key-Pro was specifically designed to help KeyWatcher System Managers do their jobs more easily with:
• User-Friendly Interface
The ability to customize KeyWatcher(s) in an easy-to-use graphical interface for quicker installations.
• Real-time Transaction Polling
This compelling feature has a built-in scheduler that automatically downloads all KeyWatcher data to centralized or remote computers. As a result, transaction and alarm information is viewable in real-time via Key-Pro's graphical interface.
• Exclusive Synchronization
Key-Pro's exclusive Auto-Sync function lets system managers easily customize their own programming modifications using an ordinary PC. Benefit from bi-directional synchronization of KeyWatcher data at anytime from multiple locations.
• Maximized Network Capabilities
System managers at different PCs may administer multiple KeyWatcher systems, even ones from remote locations. The software's database may be installed on a shared network drive, permitting key management reports to be generated from remote computers.
• Extensive Key Management Reporting
System managers will appreciate being able to administer more specifically detailed KeyWatcher reports with less time and effort than ever before. These reports can be generated based on specific key, user and alarm transaction. Key-Pro provides comprehensive reporting with extended sorting methods, including delineation by last name, first name, ascending and descending sequential order.
• Local Area Network Access
Accessibility to the key management systems over a LAN has been upgraded, enabling systems managers to perform functions on any KeyWatcher via a TCP/IP.
