No cost IP based access control software from Borer

Borer has released Fusion SE, a PC based access control software package for users of small-to-medium access control systems. Fusion SE Access Control Software runs on a PC workstation operating under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Fusion SE provides similar functionality to the Enterprise and Profession versions of Fusion. The Fusion SE software is free and there are no restrictions as to the numbers of doors you can connect to the system or the number of people you are entitled to enrol onto the Fusion database. 

The system is made easy to deploy because all door controllers and field devices communicate with the PC hosting Fusion software via the users LAN and structured cabling infrastructure. It is also simple to commission as new field devices (card readers and controllers) log on and self configure on power up. 

Fusion has an intuitive easy-to-use GUI and Wizard style operator interface enabling full management and control of the Security Access System. Fusion supports many combinations of access level and time zone operation. It supports both profile and role based access rules making the planning, administration and management of access rights simpler. Fusion provides the operator with a comprehensive set of tools to support the remote operation of door locking/unlocking and alarm setting and resetting. In addition a powerful field Programmable Scripting Engine enables Fusion to support the integration of Camera and Intruder systems to access control enabling many complex functions, such as out-of-hour key holder access, to be supported on even the most basic system. 

Uniquely, in the security industry, the delivery of power to field devices, door controllers and door locks is controlled and monitored by the Fusion software. This enables users to monitor and manage the energy consumed by each door lock and door controller connected to the system providing cost savings amounting to tens of pounds per door per year. Fusion also provides a graphical view of almost every element of the system down to the status of each individual input such as a magnetic door monitor or tamper sensors. This is an invaluable aid for both on-site and remote over the Internet problem identification and solving.
