Security Management
Software
G4Tec
offers four advanced software products scaled to meet Access Control
and Security Management needs ranging from small, remote facilities to multi-national
organizations and everything in between. Each is compatible with Windows XP, Vista Business, and Vista Ultimate operating systems. G4Tec builds upon open architecture standards to ensure interoperability
with a wide range of peripherals and information sharing with database brands like SQL®, Oracle®, and SAP®. Our software offers an easy and affordable migration path
between each product to preserve the value of your investments.
G4Tec’s software is designed and tested in accordance with the latest Microsoft style
guides for Windows XP, Vista Business, and Vista Ultimate, and has passed the appropriate independent compatibility tests. Our software is always fully tested before release and is always completely backwards
and forwards compatible with other versions. You can start on the smallest single site system and migrate to the largest multiple location system as your needs change
with no operator retraining or complex reconfiguration.
One of the strengths of G4Tec’s software is the ability to handle multiple buildings,
sites and locations. Communication can be across the LAN or WAN or using dial up
modems. Increasingly organizations are creating multiple facility access control systems across their whole enterprise. This centralized command and control reduces
cost and often creates an increased level of physical security, particularly for
small facilities without on site security guards outside normal working hours.
In addition to the very wide range of built in system features that are provided
as standard with all G4Tec’s Symmetry editions, we provide a wide range of additional
software modules. These include Digital Video Management, CCTV Switching, Biometrics,
Smart Card Management, Intercom, Intrusion Alarms Management, and much more.
All four software products use the powerful Microsoft® SQL Server database. Symmetry Business, G4Tec's most cost-effective system, and Symmetry Professional, G4Tec's
most widely used system, use Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000),
a royalty-free data engine built and based on core SQL Server technology.
The chart below will help you to determine which G4Tec product best addresses your
situation.
