VISIKEY from Morley Electronics is an efficient and highly effective system designed for building access control and management. By controlling the system using a personal computer, maximum flexibility has been achieved whilst retaining ease of operation.

VISIKEY can be custom configured to suit your needs and as these needs change, so can VISIKEY.

All of the VISIKEY functions are controlled through its sophisticated windows driven software. Once installed this software allows you to configure the system to your own needs.

VISIKEY software can be used to control access to selected areas of buildings using both physical and temporal constraints. It can also control and be controlled by other building systems such as fire alarm/control systems or burglar alarm systems through its versatile, interfacing system. Both fail-safe and/or fail-secure environments can be implemented.

VISIKEY software allows multi-tasking. With multiple control windows on display, all updated in real-time, the VISIKEY user can ensure safe, efficient and secure access control management at all times.

Using sophisticated software VISIKEY gives you the precision control you need for effective access control management. The window-driven programming allows you to accomplish every task with a few simple 'point and click' operations. The entire system can be easily configured to suit your own needs.

Readers may be addressed globally, in pre-selected groups, or individually. These operations can be carried out via menu selection, through pre-programmed event control (e.g. security alarm), or by control through the site plan windows.

Areas within a site may have an Anti-Pass back (APB) level associated with them, giving added security by preventing the use of the same key twice in any one Area. Using APB the building plan can be viewed as a series of nested boxes. Access is only allowed to the next level if all previous levels have been passed. Also, a person may not re-enter an APB area unless they have already left it, i.e. cards cannot be passed back through windows etc. for re-use by another colleague. Areas can have configurable capacity limits. When reached, these stop all further attempts at entry. Such a system is very useful with regard to compliance with fire and structural regulations.

The site plan allows real-time monitoring of the status of door-readers, with more detailed information available with a single pointer operation. Any reader within the plan window may be overridden remotely through the software. Readers, or groups of readers, can also be subject to remotely controlled manual override via simple mouse clicks if this should prove to be necessary.

Key-holders can be tracked through the building in real-time. Their access rights to building areas can be altered immediately or when appropriate, giving immediate results. Each key-holder is assigned to a Department, which in turn has certain specified access rights to different Areas at different times of day, week and year. These may be overridden by holiday Information, which allows each department to be assigned different access rights on particular days of the year.

Key-holders can be set to 'time-out' at a particular time and date, rendering their key inoperative after a specified time, but retaining their details within the system.

Along with essential key-holder information, the System User may configure the key-holder database to have fields which are unique to the users application. Each key-holder may be assigned to be a visitor, or a first-aider, or any other class of person the application requires. Each key-holder may have eight yes/no pieces of this type of information held about him/her. Search criteria can also be any other piece of key-holder information e.g. search by surname.

Nexus or ISC-4 controller operation is configurable by the use of reader scripts. These allow the system operator to control reader outputs and system alarms which may also depend on other inputs and timers. Reader integration into the system is through defining relationships between reader events and system functions. Any alarm condition, key transaction or console activity may be sent to a real-time window, remote display terminals, printers, files and/or other computers through a RS232 port. Each output device can be configured to display only information in a particular group e.g. only alarm conditions.
