Know who is coming home!
ekey gives your building control system the personal touch!
There is already a wide range of different manufacturers of building control systems designed to make our lives in the 21st century as comfortable and safe as possible. However, for the first time, these systems recognize “who” triggers an action through the use of the ekey fingerprint scanner, thus enabling the building to be controlled and organized in relation to a specific person.
The integration of ekey fingerprint scanners into building control systems offers many new possibilities:
With an ekey fingerprint scanners access control system, the house knows which people are present and which are not in the house. Depending on who enters the house, the fingerprint can not only be used to open the door, but also to save energy by controlling lights, heating and blinds individually. These setting options can be configured user-specifically – for example, the TV or the stove remains off when the children come home alone. Time-dependent authorizations can also be implemented by integrating an ekey fingerprint scanners access control system: For example, the cleaning staff only has access to the house at certain times and is only stored in the system with limited authorizations. (e.g. access from 08.00 to 12.00, without authorization for TV or PC)
The user-related possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the users.
For public buildings and companies, the integration of an ekey fingerprint scanner provides the option of logging who entered the building, when and where. This also makes it possible to use it as a time recording system.
Furthermore, information is available as to whether an authorized finger has been swiped across the reader unit. In the case of an unauthorized person, this information could be used, for example, to switch on the garden lights and store a camera image from the door camera in an archive. By means of a logic in the building control system, a different command can thus be triggered with each stored finger.
PRODUCT NEW: ekey fingerprint + KNX
Integration into KNX home and building control systems
The internationally recognized KNX standard for home and building system technology enables the networking of all components, from lighting to heating to alarm systems, and offers a considerable plus in convenience, safety and economy in both functional and residential buildings.
But the ultimate plus was still missing: personalized building control using biometric data that guarantees unique identification.
ekey as an official KNX partner makes it possible and thus your home more intelligent!
For the connection of ekey fingerprint scanners to KNX home and building control systems, ekey biometric systems has developed the ekey home CV KNX which is available immediately.
The KNX-certified ekey KNX converter converts access information directly into KNX events and thus enables you to control, administer or release your building in relation to a specific person.
In addition to various converters (KNX, UDP, Wiegand), ekey also offers the option of linking fingerprint scanners directly to third-party systems via a software development kit and administering them via this.
