Products
& Services

secCloud simplifies your security and gives you control through our web-based customer portal. Based on enterprise-grade hardware and software, it combines Access Control, Intruder Detection and Building Automation on a single platform that you can use anywhere, anytime.

Our experienced team of security professionals will guide you from the initial risk assessment, through system design and installation. Post-installation our service and monitoring teams will ensure your secCloud system is fully operational.

 

Swipe the card reader and the door opens…. that’s simple right!
Making doors open when you swipe a card is easy, managing the ongoing system is not.

secCloud offers a single platform that can be accessed using a web browser to administer your access control system.  Using a centralised server you can update user information including card number, PIN code, the doors that person can access and at what time of the day they can access them.

Whether the doors are in your building or in another state or country, your database is easy to maintain using secCloud. The system is modular in design which makes adding new doors to the system straightforward.

Some features that customers find useful include:

  • Integrate the alarm system with access control so when you swipe a card reader the alarm turns off.
  • Door forced monitoring: If a door is opened with an invalid card, an alarm signal is activated.
  • Scheduling: open doors or gates based on the time of day, with daylight saving updated automatically.
  • Elevator control: Restrict which floors people have access to using elevator control.
  • Anti-Passback: Stop people from entering a space and passing their card on to someone else to enter.
  • Remote door openings: Using the online portal you can open a door for a delivery from your phone.

Managed Access Control as a Service

After your access control system is installed you need to manage the system. The issues end users face with the ongoing management include understanding if the system is online and working, remote access to update user credentials and having the staff available to make the changes.

secCloud was developed to overcome these issues. On a daily basis we monitor all the modules are online and operational from our National Operations Centre. Using monitoring software we manage the network of controllers to ensure they are online. As the controllers are online you can login to the secCloud system to make the changes required to user access. If you do not have the time or the personnel to make the changes required then we can do it for you.

Whether you need an end user added to the system, access card or alarm code data updated or reports generated we can do that work for you. That way you can focus on your business and we will ensure your building assets are secure.

Telecommunications

Remote access to a security system

secVision Networks can provide the telecommunications needed to ensure remote access to a security system is established. There are several reasons why remote access to the security systems is required:

Remote access to streaming video
If you want to use your CCTV system in a proactive manner as a management tool and gain situational awareness of what is happening on site in real time, then fast upload speeds from site are essential to a good viewing experience.

Interactive video monitoring
Security Vision Networks offers Interactive Video Monitoring to receive alarms, view on site CCTV and issue audio challenges in real time. These services require a robust and fast internet connection.

Remote access for customer training and support
As part of our Guardian service plans we offer remote system support and training. We can access systems from the security operations centre to carry out maintenance or login to a client’s desktop and show them how to run a report or make changes to their system.

Remote device monitoring and management
We monitor everything with our Virtual Pulse service. Network devices are proactively monitored to ensure they are online and performing correctly.

Alarm signals
For an alarm system to raise an alarm it needs to be able to get the alarm out of the building and to the security operations centre for analysis, verification and response.

 

We have partnered with Telstra to offer our clients access to the Next G network, Australia’s largest and fastest national mobile network.

We monitor all the SIM cards in our fleet every day to make sure the devices are in session and operational. We can see how much data each system has consumed and can work with our clients to manage the data plans and ensure there are no ‘bill shock’ issues at the end of the month. We believe in the Internet of Things and machine to machine communication. We provide a turn-key solution including the telecommunications for a seamless managed service delivery of your security.

The secCloud Encrypted Data Network uses an Advanced Encryption Standard to keep the data and communications between the hardware modules and the server safe and private.

The systems controller that is installed on site and the secCloud server communicate to update user information and system audit trail details.

To keep the data safe and communications private an encryption key is generated in the controller and on the secCloud server. This is like a unique password that both use to decipher the information that is exchanged.

secCloud uses the highest level of data encryption available known as AES-256. This encryption is used widely by government, financial and military institutions and was established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US.

Smart Cities IoT

Modern buildings offer lighting, air conditioning, air quality, elevators, parking and physical security systems aimed to maximise the productivity of building occupants. It makes sense to join these systems together to offer an intelligent building eco system.  

Smart Buildings bring all of the building management devices together. With secCloud you can control your lighting, energy, fire, elevator and HVAC systems from a web browser.

secCloud holds information that can be shared with the building management systems (BMS), like when people enter a space or the alarm has been armed. The systems can work together to turn on air conditioning when people arrive and swipe their access card to gain entry and turn off lights when the alarm is armed at night.

You can reduce your energy costs by integrating your systems together and cutting out the wasted electricity. If you are looking to decrease your environmental impact and gain a Green Star rating for your building then secCloud can be part of the solution.

Control lighting and air conditioning though time schedules from secCloud. Time of day, day of week and day light savings are all programmable in secCloud. These schedules can then drive you other building systems so the lights and air conditioning do not turn on when the building is not occupied. By integrating the security system you can control your energy consumption precisely and save money.

Optimise how the building performs and react quickly to issues that are raised. The secCloud system can email you when an event occurs to give you insight into what is happening on your site.

Low level integration versus high level integration

Like turning a light switch on and off, low level integration is triggered by relays changing state and switching other relays in the sub system. This type of integration is physical where the systems are connected together using cables. So if you do not have a building management system, then we can go ‘old school’ and secCloud can still help make your building smart.

High level integration is where the the system manufacturers have cooperated to build a bridge between the systems so they can send each other information which can be processed to initiate system changes. secCloud uses communication protocols like Modbus to talk to other BMS systems. This is real life M2M (machine to machine communication).
