Easy to Use, Accessible Anywhere 
AEOS is a powerful, user-friendly access control and security management system based on smart network technology. In AEOS, essential functionalities are configured according to the wishes of the end user by means of peer-to-peer communication and flexible and powerful behaviour components. These behaviour components can be added with a simple click of the mouse, without restrictions. The age of traditional systems, in which functionality was defined by the hardware available, is definitely over!

Another unique AEOS feature is that every member of staff can log visitors onto the system, so that a more refined access policy can be put in place without causing a lot of work for those responsible for reception.
 
Tailored to the End User
Using AEOS is extremely secure. Language and user rights can be configured for each individual, so that tasks can be automatically delegated to the right part of the organisation. Each user only sees those functions and menus to which he has access rights.

Apart from restricting system functions according to the type of user, it is also possible to restrict access to data right down to field level. This allows you to determine exactly what data can be entered, edited and viewed and by whom.

Reliable
Decentralised Intelligence AEOS is based on the principle of decentralised intelligence. All access rights and programmed actions are defined and processed at the lowest level of the system.

This means that the operation of the system and the level of security are guaranteed, regardless of the availability of the network or the availability of the server.

The AEOS system can function independently o the server. The native IP AEOS controllers (AEpu) can communicate directly with each other and with other IP devices such as CCTV cameras.

As a result, integration can take place at the lowest system level (e.g. direct communication between the controller and the IP camera), which simplifies implementation and increases speed and reliability.

All the hardware and programmed functions can be monitored and analysed remotely, which makes for optimum system availability and fast, effective rectification of any malfunctions.

Scalable AEOS is built up from a variety of hardware modules and software components. A system can be built up to meet your exact requirements using standard components. If the situation changes, you can adapt or expand the hardware modules and behaviour components (embedded software) that are already in use, immediately and without any problems. That means you never have to invest in hardware or functionality that will not be used. The extremely powerful AEOS behaviour components can be added with a simple click of the mouse, without restrictions. The age of traditional systems, in which functionality was defined by the hardware available, is definitely over!

Seamless Integration
AEOS’s open architecture makes it very easy to integrate with other systems.  The access control and monitoring functionality forms the basis for an integrated security management system with intrusion detection and video enhanced events (SMA). SMA makes it possible to respond immediately to an alert with a variety of systems. For example, the monitor can signal an alert, giving the precise location of the problem and the appropriate instructions.

Using the SDK (Software Development Kit) with a special API (Application Program Interface), AEOScertified system integrators can supply a solution to your specific integration requirements. The configuration of AEOS provides the possibility of realtime data exchange with other systems, such as employee records.

IT Standards
AEOS’s architecture uses the existing LAN/WAN infrastructure to communicate. The AEpu controllers are native IP devices and can be connected from any location to the 10/100 Mb TCP/IP Ethernet network. A VPN connection is established for communication between the AEpus and the server.

If you wish, you can incorporate the AEOS system in a VLAN. The decentralised intelligence and peer-to-peer communication of the AEpus reduce the load on the network to a minimum. The J2EE-compliant server makes it possible to use separate servers for the application and the database.

Furthermore, you can work with a variety of operating systems and in database environments. The web interface cuts out the need to install client software, resulting in a considerable improvement in accessibility and manageability.

Sound Investment
AEOS has been developed to enable you to implement a security management system easily and economically. The licences relate directly to the functionalities that are actually used – so you only pay for what you use.

Whether you want security for a small office or a major enterprise with multiple branches, AEOS will always prove a sound and appropriate investment. Moreover, AEOS allows you to make better use of the investment you have already made in IT infrastructure. You can just carry on using the existing card/reader technology.
