New RTE button for contactless access The hands-free request to exit (RTE) button from PAC fits into a standard single-gang electrical backbox and with simple wiring into PAC controllers including the 512 and 212 devices, as well as the Easikey 99 and 250 products. Where an existing push to exit button is in place, the contactless RTE can be retrofitted and its infrared technology is designed to prevent interference with other infrared devices located on-site. Housed in a stainless steel faceplate, a prominent two colour LED changes from red to green when a successful request has been identified. It is also dust and water resistant to IP65. www.pacgdx.com
Battery powered PIR detector covers a 30m range Luminite Electronics has launched a new external PIR detector specifically aimed at the CCTV and alarm market. The ESD30 detector provides a covert PIR detection range of up to 30 metres. The battery powered wireless PIR detector can transmit to any EasySwitch receiver over a range of up to 500 metres (line of sight) to form part of a lighting or alarm system. The detection area is 30m out and 20m across and the internal optics can be adjusted so that the unit does not have to be mounted facing the area to be covered. The unit can be easily adjusted for pet immunity to reduce false alarms. When the PIR is activated a high power red LED light will glow giving an added layer of security to deter intruders. The detector can be powered by 4 x AA batteries or 1 x 9v PP3 providing up to four years of battery life. www.luminite.co.uk

VMS upgraded with enhanced event location Qognify has announced the launch of the Cayuga R15 VMS for multi-site corporate and enterprise projects focusing on enhanced usability and connectivity, improved maintainability and analytics. One of the main goals while developing Cayuga R15 was to help security personnel quickly identify, locate and evaluate an event. This can present a real challenge when operating large systems with widely distributed locations and a large number of cameras. Cayuga R15 solves this problem by supporting the use of the Esri ArcGIS mapping platform, enabling cameras to be positioned on a map and available globally – depending on access rights. Multiple views or areas of interest within one map source as well as the clustering of icons depending on the zoom level make it easy to keep the overview on the map at any time. www.qognify.com
Occupancy management added to platform
The latest version of Net2 – v6.04, from Paxton is now ready for installers to download. It features Net2 Occupancy Management which allows the limitation of the number of people in any given area; either barring access or sending an email or text to the building manager when a space nears capacity. It works across multiple areas of a site and can be set to operate a one in, one out system to support social distancing measures. In addition to this update, installers who want to use thermal scanning to help limit the spread of the virus can do so with a choice of hardware integrated from Hikvision, Dahua & ZKTeko. www.paxton-access.com
