by Shane Henson — September 14, 2011—Tridium, a leader in open platforms, application software frameworks, automation infrastructure technology, energy management and device-to-enterprise integration solutions, has announced that in October 2011, it will release its newest version of Niagara Enterprise Security, Release 2.2.
According to Tridium designers, a new set of powerful photo ID capabilities in Niagara Enterprise Security, Release 2.2 provides users with support for photo ID capture and badge printing through the integration of HID Asure ID 7 Photo ID management software.
The addition of the threat management feature provides users with the ability to address life-threatening situations by providing sophisticated cardholder access management and door lockdown based on the current active threat levels. These threat levels are arranged on a level of priority, such that when operating at any specific threat level, all levels below are currently inactive and all levels above are active.
As a development platform, Niagara Enterprise Security is a reusable software platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) that allows for the development and integration of various security components, including visitor management, access control, video surveillance, and intrusion. As a result, OEMs benefit in cost savings, time saved in application development, time to market, and resources required for development.
These benefits may make the adoption of the newest version of Tridium’s Niagara Enterprise Security Solution a smart move for facilities managers working in various industries and buildings who are responsible for their company’s security.
