Nedap AEOS Security software

Nedap Security Management's Camera Service software component can be used if more than only a live view of an IP camera is required. The software component controls the PTZ and can link the IP camera stream to the software component camera storage for recording.

Nedap's Intercom Message Mapper is especially designed for communication with a Commend intercom system.

Nedap AEOS Count-groups licence allows counting administration for count groups in defined zones. The licence makes it possible to control the number of parked vehicles or to control the number of persons in an area. It is required for every count group in a zone.

Multiple time zones for central administration with a single server concept for multiple units that are located in different time zones.

Is your security system safe enough? How do you substitute security when change is required? And how do you prioritise security within your organisation? Nedap provided visitors to this year's Security Essen with the answers to challenges that they might conquer in their day-to-day business. Offering 7 specific scenarios, all providing inspiration and new insights to overcome specific security challenges. Whoever entered the Nedap stand discovered how to design a safe system without weak links, thanks to end-to-end security. Or how to reduce user-errors thanks to an user-friendly and straightforward application. Managing change is made simple thanks to open IT standards allowing for the integration of existing hardware and systems, including third party controllers. Potential in any security solution such as possibilities to improve business processes, will help ensuring that security gets the priority it deserves. Automating access requests thanks to an integrated workflow application, for example, will not only reduce human mistakes, but eventually save money. Moreover, optimal control over all premises will reduce risks significantly and therefore create a safe working environment for all employees. Nedap demonstrated how having a single security management platform for all security needs allows for quick and accurate interpretation of events whereas all relevant information is combined in one single platform.  An exhibition for partnerships At Security Essen, Nedap cooperated with its Technology Partners Axis and Canon. The AXIS partnership demonstrated how the AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller can be integrated in the AEOS platform. This is providing added value to the AXIS access control solution by offering unlimited additional AEOS functionality, from advanced anti-pass-back to visitor management. On the Canon stand, Nedap demonstrated how AEOS allows for quick and accurate interpretation of events captured by in-camera analytics, such as left object detection and motion detection. Canon video analytics can be integrated in AEOS without using an additional video analytics server allowing for a cost-effective solution. To be continued… Stay tuned to find out what thought leaders in the security industry have said about the before mentioned security challenges…

The Identity & Authorisation Application means lower costs and higher security. Because it has an attractive, intuitively usable interface, there is virtually no need for training. The ability to multitask leads to higher productivity and improved customer service. Thanks to widgets, every functionality can be accessed quickly and efficiently. And if a task needs high attention, all other functions are moved to the background.

To help visitors with key security challenges, several security consultants, physical security managers and other security experts were present at Nedap’s IFSEC-stand. At the same time visitors enjoyed a cup of coffee and a Dutch stroopwafel.

Nedap AX2002 is a AEbus extension set which increases AEbus distance to 300 meters.

Introduction: In the security management world, change is the only constant factor. With many security systems, responding to this relentless change is time consuming and expensive. That is why Nedap developed AEOS, a truly integral security management platform that is simple and intuitive to use. The key focus in this is not the technology, but the way in which it is used on a day-to-day basis. Because of this, users make less mistakes, increasing your efficiency and security. This customisable approach has led to AEOS 3.1.5 – the most user friendly system that offers certainty in the ever changing world of security. Foundation of AEOS The development of AEOS is based on the daily use of the system by receptionists, guards, security managers and ICT managers. Because of this, we believe AEOS is the world’s smartest security solution. We reinforce this by embracing the principles of: flexibility, cost effectiveness and ease of use. These principles guide everything we do. Flexible: a security system gives you unlimited functionality, so you can set up your system to suit your needs exactly Cost effective: the costs for maintaining and extending your system can be minimised User friendly: One system is easier to operate and control

Nedap AEOS Key cabinet integration licence offers the possibility of integrating key management of key cabinets in AEOS. This licence supports the integration of specific electronic key cabinets supplied by Traka or Deister.

Airlock is not an Access Point itself but synchronizes multiple Access Points in such a way that only one can provide access at a time. Furthermore, it is capable of controlling the occupation of the lock. When connected to Airlock an Access Point will always ask the Airlock for exclusive rights to provide access. Since Airlock will only grant the exclusive rights to one Access Point at a time and the Access Point will release the exclusive rights after closing the door, only one door can be open at a time. This synchronization function applies to Badge handling, Manual unlock input, Provide access (server). The synchronization function does NOT apply to Emergency unlock input, Automatic unlock schedule, Access control de-activated and unlocked (server).

Fire Panel Integration enables the AEOS graphical alarm handler to receive alarms of the modules and sensors (e.g. smoke detectors) connected to a fire panel. This Software Component is pre-configured for the Notifier ID 3000 Fire Panel.

Deny particular groups of carriers access to certain zones in special situations, for example during crises or when dealing with various threat levels. System administrators can (de)activate Verification, APB and Counting for each of these special carrier groups. The number of security levels that can be set with this licence is unlimited.

This licence has been developed to allow dynamic administration of locker systems in AEOS. Contrary to the Cabinet Access Point licence which treats access to lockers in the same way as for access points, the LoXS Integration licence allows system users to dynamically assign lockers to carriers and demand their return after a set period of time. This set period of time varies from one-off use (toggle), to a short-term period (e.g. one day) to a semi-permanent period (long-term, for e.g. “personal” lockers in schools).

Nedap AEOS 3.1.6 focuses on delivering a security system that delights users through experiences that are modern, accessible and optimised for the user. To deliver upon these expectations, the company has focused this release around the following themes: Everything in one view; added functionality improves ease and reliability of interpreting events. Platform enhancements; robust platform capabilities offer you more freedom of choice.

Nedap AEOS Configuration & Maintenance is designed for administrators of AEOS.

Nedap launches AEOS 3.1.4, introducing intercom integration with Commend intercom. As a result of this integration, AEOS not only instantly shows who is at the door, but at the same time verifies this person via the intercom. Controlled access can subsequently be given. “Giving controlled access is one of the tasks most frequently performed by receptionists and security guards”, says Arjan Bouter, Sales Manager at Nedap. “In the Graphical Alarm Handler of AEOS they already had direct control of sensors, doors and cameras and now an intercom has been added to that. With this intercom integration of one of the major suppliers of Critical Communication Systems, the user has full control when providing access. Moreover, for control afterwards, this solution simply provides complete insight into which operator gave access via which intercom, including the accompanying video recordings. Post-event control has never been this easy”. AEOS is an integrated solution for security management that combines access control, video management, intruder detection and intercom into one platform. By integrating intercom into AEOS, Nedap and Commend offer a comprehensive and compact solution for companies and organisations.

Nedap AEOS Contractor management licence makes management and registration of contractors in AEOS possible. It includes tasks such as announcing and searching contractors, deleting and changing contractor data and issuing contractor identifiers and verifiers.

The rule engine is a licence for automatically assigning and/or changing information and authorisations by means of user-defined rules. It can quickly and simply couple access authorisations for employees, vehicles, visitors or contractors to different attributes such as age, department or building. Authorisations can be applied to individuals or complete groups, locally or across the world. A rule may also be a combination of several conditions which are linked by "and/or". The following parameters can be assigned or altered by rules: template, entrance group, day/time schedule, organisation, region and area. This functionality ensures that standard manual changes in the system are automated and executed error-free.

The violations & blacklist management option allows setting an unlimited number of violation categories and the corresponding sanctions. Sanctions may include barring someone from entering company premises, for instance. Violations & blacklist management gives an overview of the time, date and place of each violation recorded for a particular visitor, employee, contractor or vehicle. The system user can determine when someone is blacklisted for these violations. It is not possible to issue a new badge to someone on the blacklist. This can only be done after the sanction period is over, or after the carrier has been manually removed from the blacklist.

With the AEOS Count Manager, it is possible to count authorised movements by so called carriers. Carriers are persons or vehicles that can be identified in AEOS with a variety of identifiers, such as badges or license plates. The Count Manager can be used to keep track of the number of times carriers enter and leave a certain space. It can also set limiting values in order to determine if the counted movements are exceeding the preset limit, and activate logical outputs on the basis of that.

Nedap’s new end-to-end security solution is the first to offer digital protection for access control by unifying best practices from both IT and physical security. Protecting access control systems Until now, the latest best practices protecting IT systems from digital threat haven’t been used for physical access control systems. This is an oversight that is leaving many companies vulnerable to cyber attacks. Nedap and AET Europe have worked together to overcome this by developing AEOS end-to-end security. Taking a forward-thinking new approach, they have combined the best practices of both IT and physical security in an all-in-one access control system. Albert Dercksen, Head of R&D at Nedap, explains why AEOS end-to-end security is needed: “IT and physical security have been following different rules to protect systems. But modern access control systems are, in fact, IT systems connected to corporate networks and should be treated as such. That’s why we’ve applied the digital security principles used in IT to AEOS, our physical access control system.” Communication secured from end-to-end In AEOS end-to-end security, Nedap and AET Europe have combined the IT principles of encryption and strong authentication. This ensures storage in every element of AEOS is secure, as is communication between all elements. Both DESFire keys and digital certificates are stored in a Secure Access Module (SAM) inside door controllers. This leaves card readers with no role in decrypting data, so secure communication between card and controller is guaranteed and, by storing digital certificates in the same SAM, strong authentication is achieved to ensure secure communication between controller and server. Protect critical infrastructure In this way, AEOS end-to-end security offers far higher protection against both physical and digital threats. It also enables keys to be updated securely and centrally, without having to physically attend each card reader. AEOS end-to-end security meets a stringent level of security requirements across Europe, and is already being used to protect critical infrastructures in several countries. In France, for example, it has gained CSPN certification from the French information security agency, ANSSI. 

With the AEOS behaviour component Message Mapper , which can be configured in every possible way, AEOS can make a simple connection with third party systems at controller level. This software option translates commands to actions from AEOS to the external device and vice versa. Its decentralised integration ensures a solution that is much more flexible and less sensitive to errors than integration at server level. It eliminates delays in sending commands, failing connections, maintenance costs and long consultations between devices.

AEOS Guard Tour provides a valuable addition to your security management system. Many companies, particularly those with large sites, consider guards an indispensable element of securing their premises. Guards add to the overall security by physically checking the status of doors and windows, and their visible presence primarily acts as an effective intrusion deterrent. AEOS Guard Tour allows your security management system to keep an eye on your guards, ensuring they perform their duty and automatically triggering an alarm if something goes wrong.

The AEOS Graphical Alarm Handler is a web-based tool to handle alarms in AEOS, giving a clear overview of the security status of your premises. Thanks to the graphical representation of buildings, floor plans and alarm points, it provides users with a convenient instrument to visualise and control alarms. In a glimpse the security manager has all the important information at his disposal: status of the doors, armed intrusion points, alarm points, etc.

Extended Entrance Package is a licence package for an extended door/turnstile, including: Turnstile control for direction control IN, OUT including: Standard access point , Badge reader, 2nd badge reader, Door monitor, Emergency unlock, Manual override and Booking contacts. Anti-Passback function for providing one-card, one-way access into and then out of a secure area. It prevents someone from using a card to enter a secure area and then passing that card back to someone else to enter that same area.

Nedap AEOS Intrusion Zone is used to connect a detector /zone in AEOS. Herewith intrusion detection becomes an integral part of the AEOS Security Management Platform. A detector can have multiple statuses (e.g. Alarm, Tamper, Sabotage, Anti-Masking). If Intrusion is fully integrated or if the stand alone intrusion panels are connected to the AEOS system this licence is required per detector/zone.
