Integrated security manufacturer, TDSi is pleased to announce that the company will be introducing its new GARDiS App at The Security Event 2022, the globally renowned security exhibition, which is taking place from April 5 to April 7, at the NEC Birmingham, in Birmingham, United Kingdom (UK), where visitors can join TDSi on Stand 3/C40 for a live demonstration.

Reflecting upon the upcoming event, Nick Mercer, the Marketing Manager at TDSi said, “With the development complete, The Security Event is the perfect opportunity for us to introduce our exciting new GARDiS App to the market and we are looking forward to presenting it to visitors at the show.

New GARDiS App

The new GARDiS App provides a number of features, such as People Management

Designed as a complementary tool, the new GARDiS App provides a number of features, such as People Management (add, edit, or delete users from access authorisation), Live Events information, Door Control, and Visual Verification, through compatible Android and Apple iOS devices.

The GARDiS App is the latest addition to TDSi’s GARDiS ecosystem of highly secure, but flexible access control hardware and software solutions.

Highly secure, flexible access control system

The new GARDiS App adds additional flexibility to the range as Tina Baker, the Software Project Manager at TDSi points out, stating “Like most other integrated systems, there is a considerable expectation of flexibility in the way secure access control systems are used and administered.

The new GARDiS App is designed to deliver greater convenience and usability for security operators, without compromising on the secure dependability that the range already delivers. With many security systems being operated remotely to accommodate new ways of working, there is clear demand for greater control of these solutions via the smart device in your pocket.

Designed for easy usability and backed up by highly secure encryption, by utilising the personal authentication of the mobile device itself, the GARDiS App has been designed with the primary needs of security end users firmly in mind.

People management and live events information

The GARDiS App displays all the people registered on the security network and their status

The GARDiS App displays all the people registered on the security network and their status. The new app also offers an ability to instantly add, edit, or delete personnel records, as and when required.

The new GARDiS App also provides live updates on events within the integrated security network, in order to ensure that the security operator is always kept up to date on any activities taking place and the status of all the monitored facilities.

Door control and visual verification

The GARDiS App gives a clear view of all the applicable doors and associated locks and hardware, so as to enable the authorised person to open, close or bar individual, or sets of doors, as and when required.

Additionally, the GARDiS App also provides the security operator with a visual verification of security events, so they can check the status, if required. This is particularly useful, if an alert has been triggered and needs to be investigated immediately.

Intuitive and powerful alternative for monitoring

Tina Baker, the Software Project Manager at TDSi, said “The GARDiS software platform is still at the heart of the access control infrastructure and the new app is designed as a companion tool rather than a replacement. All the commands and data are fed via the main platform, but the GARDiS App now provides a highly usable, intuitive, and powerful alternative for monitoring operations and conducting the most frequent actions.

Tina Baker adds, “Like the rest of the GARDiS range, the App will continually evolve and grow to meet the needs of our customers moving forwards.
