The Online Lite system communicates through computers in the keys and locks to allow or deny access, before electronically storing a record of activities.
Intellikey say that this design allows users to retain their existing door furniture without much disruption as the original lock barrel can just be replaced by an electronic barrel.
Each Online Lite controller can support six locks, with up to 1000 keys associated with each, and the system can be connected to a central controller using hard wiring or wireless Ethernet.
In the event of a loss of communication, each individual lock controller unit should be able to control access and log all attempts even if not connected to the central controller.
Itellikey say the Online Lite controllers are programmed via a simple local web interface where keys can be easily enabled or disabled for use with individual locks.
The lock and key combination also boasts a time and date function designed to allow or restrict access as required. The Florida-based company claim this will give users complete access control over each lock within the system based on time, day and key parameters.
Each lock and controller is operated via ‘legal’ keys and only these ‘legal’ keys have to be programmed for use by the system – any attempt at access using unprogrammed keys is automatically recognised by the system as ‘illegal’ and access is rejected.
Intellikey access control systems are currently in use at several American airports.
