CA Threat Level Management
Five states of threat level management, enables
managers to more quickly react to present threats, by
instantly deactivating access privileges, by badge, or by
whole badgeholder groups, literally with a mouse click:
Fourteen assignable threat level groups; color-coded
levels; each group independently controlled; batch
enrollment of all badgeholders.
NAPCO Gemini Alarm Panel Interface
(Gemini P3200, P9600& X255)
Provides an interface between access control, alarm
and video systems. The addition of the optional Napco
Gemini interface will allow user-specified Gemini alarm
events to be displayed on the CA3000 alert/event
grids. It also allows alarm areas to be disarmed/armed
by a CA3000 operator
or by a card reader. An
alarm event can trigger
automatic locking/
unlocking of doors and
trigger presentation of
live video and pre and
post video recording.
Also, if the system is
armed, only personnel
authorized to disarm the Gemini alarm system will be
granted access.
CA InterAccess - Open API Support
