The Integrated Security Management System
with Embedded Software

With its impressive array of powerful features, eMerge is a configurable, integrated security management and access control system. Now you can manage security functions for multiple facilities anywhere with an Internet connection.

Because eMerge is a browser managed system, it has the enormous advantage of geographic autonomy. You are able to monitor and control multiple facilities from any web browser by connecting securely to the Internet. From any location in the world you can view live event logs, video and interactive floor plans in one view, remotely lock or unlock doors, arm or disarm burglar alarm systems, and initiate system-wide changes through Threat Level status. You can also lock down the system so that control is available only from inside a facility.

eMerge is a network appliance. Everything you need to install and manage the system is embedded within the Network Controller. There's no server software, no client software, no gateways, no new communication wiring to install, no plug-in hardware adapters for connectivity, and no software compatibility issues to deal with. eMerge addresses the convergence of security and IT.

The eMerge 50 is designed to bring the benefits of network architecture to basic access control applications.

The eMerge 5000 handles a broad range of functions such as real time monitoring, elevator control and photo ID in one integrated package. Installations for eMerge range in size from small, stand-alone facilities to distributed enterprises of remote sites.
