GUARDRFID Solutions has announced its next generation Active RFID platform and its software applications, such TotGuard Infant Security solution, can integrate closed circuit television (CCTV) where increased security is required.
The company said security and access control systems are enhanced by presenting a live video stream from a CCTV camera placed at the location, as well as providing video images of activity in that location immediately prior to the event.
The company added that Instantaneous visibility of suspicious activity allows staff to immediately respond to the event, saving time.
All such video streams are captured and archived for subsequent review, if ever required, the company added.
GuardRFID also said integrating active RFID and video surveillance is of particular value for clients who use GuardRFID's leading-edge TotGuard Infant Protection solution, the only infant security system that offers disposable active tags.
GuardRFID has integrated their active RFID solution with open platform IP video management software, Milestone XProtect.
This means that the GuardRFID video imaging records also include time stamps, for quickly locating such records when required. In a scenario, there may be an attempted unauthorized removal of an infant from a secured area. This would result in an alarm condition initiated by GuardRFID's system, and the Milestone video would give verification of this activity, according to GuardRFID.
Alerts can also be sent to remote devices such as a laptop, mobile handheld PC, or smart phone, where the video can be viewed to identify the situation in real time.
The GuardRFID system is also able to automatically control door or elevator access to prevent such unauthorised activity.
