UnityIS is cloud agnostic and can use any provider.
We started with the development of a Mercury and Bosch driver. Later expanded to include HID and Axis based on customer demand. The benefit to having multiple drivers is that the customer does not have to replace hardware and can expand with whatever hardware they desire. We began working with Z9 during the pandemic when many manufacturers were experiencing supply chain issues. Z9 provides us with integrations to Atlas and Azure.
Each of the hardware platforms has their own set of features and benefits. Mercury has a large install base, but has not kept up with features. Azure is feature and security driven, but is best suited for mid to enterprise level access control. Smaller sites or customers who are cost sensitive would be better with Atlas.
At the moment we cannot run our application on Azure but that is something that will eventually happen.
Yes, the full line of Azure hardware and both RS485 and Network (PoE) are supported.
All inputs, outputs can be mapped and assigned accordingly, using Door Definitions which will allow you to assign or unassign door locks, door contacts, and REXs to various outputs/inputs.
Yes, there is a way to create hardware templates, that will respect custom Door Definitions.
By creating Triggers and Macros various threat levels can be created. A Trigger can represent any event with specific properties and a Macro can be a series of actions that take place.
12 intervals per Time Schedule are currently supported.
Yes, UnityIS has a feature called Day Scheduling which allows schedules to be setup for a specific day of the current calendar year. This functionality is host based.
Yes, this can be done in Time Schedules.
Yes, our Attendance Reporting can do both scenarios and more.
Yes, we have a Visitor Management feature that will support visitors and notify/restrict visitors on a BOLO (be on the lookout) list.
Yes, we can integrate to this.
With all of our video integrations you can view live and recorded video and associate any video camera to any access control device. Should an access control alarm occur, a window will popup showing the location of the alarm along with links for live and recorded video that is associated to the alarm. All of this can be done from the mobile app as well.
Yes, we have looked into this option and can offer it.
Yes, we will be fully integrated with the Hanwha OnCloud, once it is released.
No, all of our video functionality is done via partner integrations.
Both UnityIS on-prem and cloud are identical and use the same web based interface.
Yes, UnityIS was built from the ground up using modern architecture. Every feature within IS2000 was re-written and more were added with UnityIS.
Yes, Aperio is supported.
Yes, all are supported.
At the moment we do not support Salto Space or KS, but this is on our roadmap.
