Moment of Insight

Inner Range’s powerful integrated security and access control management Software, Insight V5, has just been released with a host of exciting new features.

AT the heart of the Insight upgrade are new user friendly, user management screens that makes operations like editing users a simpler process thanks to the reorganisation of the Insight Edit user screens. In Insight V5, multiple tabs have been simplified so now all relevant user information is accessible on a single screen.

There’s also now a Tagboard User Location System that incorporates a user location module and displays the location of specific users, or displays all users in specific locations. It delivers real-time user location status and is designed for both public displays and private workstations.

Additionally, Insight V5 introduces a brand new user credit feature which is ideally suited to carpark applications. Users are given credit points, by operator entry from the Insight Edit application or dynamically added

from a 3rd party application. User access events then decrement

these credits and users access permissions will expire when their

credit points equal zero.

Also new is a Qualification/Certification Management function. This important new feature can assist organisations managing Occupational

Health and Safety (OH&S) risks. The system supports up to eight qualifications. A door or a door list can be associated with a qualification and a user must have this qualification in order to access

the door.

If a users’ qualification expires, then access to this door or doorlist is denied. This assists organisations manage access to equipment and goods that require updated certification for employees to be legally permitted to access the equipment.

Another neat feature is updates to the Schematic Floor Plan Module giving smart features including Auto Schematic login from workstation boot-up, Auto restore saved window views at login and Full Screen Mode for mimic panel displays.

There are also new features for Insight review including, auto log-in to review from workstation boot-up and auto restore of saved window views at login. Additionally, Insight V5 allows external applications that can be launched directly from Insight Launchpad, allowing users to make their own Icon, Name and Description for External Applications.  

There are also re-organised, simpler to use User Management Screens in Insight Edit that allow you to more easily view and edit common user information all in one simple screen. This gives improved speed of operation.

Insight V5 also has the ability for communicators to accept 3rd party serial or TCP data and log review entries, as used in Ekotek paging, location and personnel protection system interface. It’s also used in intercom interfaces. This gives the ability to log review entries from 3rd party interfaces via COM interface. Users also benefit from new advanced reports, including User Qualification Reports, User Entity Access Reports, New Virtual User Reports.

Other features include the ability to have different panels in different regional time zones, the ability to move cameras within the site hierarchy (one NVR can have cameras in different sites), import and export user photos and receive Paradox RF fob review messages. There’s also support for Concept 4000 V7.8 firmware changes.
