These systems allow you to easily identify the proper keys and to have the keys returned to any location. KeyWatcher systems easily interface with various access control devices.
KeyWatcher Systems from Security Technology
KeyWatcher Cabinets are designed to resist abuse and are wired to alarm against tampering. The system also has limitless configurations, allowing the ability to scale the Key Management Systems as needs expand.
Features of KeyWatcher Systems
- Powered by AC electricity and supported by a 48 hour battery backup power supply
- Designed with built in RS-232 and optional Ethernet connectivity for PCs, modems, printers and networks
KeyBank from Australian Security Technology
KeyWatcher and KeyBank can work as single key management systems or can be configured with multiple cabinets to hold hundreds of keys.
Designed with scalability in mind, each additional unit can be controlled by a single console and monitored by the advanced Key-Pro III software. Now, it’s easy to expand as your needs grow, this is expandable to hold to 2,000 keys.
For greater reliability and protection, KeyWatcher and KeyBank have a tamper proof mechanism that triggers an alarm if:
- The door is left open for more than 10 seconds after use
- A key is missing or not returned on time
- There is a power failure
- A key is returned by the wrong user
- A user forces the cabinet doors open
- A user forcefully removes a Smart Key
- The alarm sound emanates from the KeyWatcher or KeyBank and can be wired throughout the facility using optional alarm relay outputs
- An invalid User Code is entered three times consecutively, systems go
into an automatic alert mode and lock down for four minutes
Smart Keys from Australian Security Technology
Another solution to Key Management is Smart Keys. Keys are secured to a Smart Key via a locking steel ring. Identification chips provide additional security and functionality for the Key Management Systems.
When a Smart Key is inserted into a key slot within a KeyWatcher or KeyBank cabinet, the chip data is read and then recorded after a key is properly accessed or returned.
Users can only access keys from the cabinets with a proper User Code, as designated by their security mangers. Users can be restricted to only have access to keys in which they are allowed.
Features of Smart Keys
- Makes the KeyBank and KeyWatcher easy to use key control systems
- Avoids the confusion and error of misplacement of keys upon return
- The Random Key Return feature allows users to return keys to any open
location of the cabinet and the system will remember the new location
for that key
