New Software Features Improve Access Control System

AMAG Technology
October 1, 2016

AMAG Technology announced the release of two new software features that improve the functionality and reporting capabilities in Symmetry v8.1 access control software. Symmetry Control Desk allows users to group together any combination of security devices, such as card readers, cameras, inputs and outputs, into new Monitor Zones, providing increased visibility to secure areas. Users can monitor the status of the devices in real time and issue commands to control security devices anywhere across an organization. Symmetry Advanced Reporting adds the ability to create virtually any report on security data, including the production of charts and graphs. A new data dictionary combines relevant data from the full Symmetry database, making it straightforward for reports to be developed using the new built-in reporting engine.
