One of the products we use is The Challenger System. it is designed as a fully integrated security and access control system – integration of security and access control user operations and field hardware greatly improve the versatility of your system, while simplifying its operation and system management.

Alarm Inputs
A Challenger System can monitor thousands of alarm points across your entire organisation – alarm points such as motion sensors, door and gate sensors, smoke detectors etc. can be reported to a security monitoring centre in the event of an alarm condition. Alarm points can also monitor local conditions specific to your organisation, such as low freezer temperature, pump failures, and production line stoppages.

Areas
The Challenger System can be divided into hundreds of areas, acting like separate alarm systems within your organisation. Each area can have associated alarm inputs, users, and access control levels, making your Challenger System extremely flexible.

Users
Over 65000 employees can be issued an access card or PIN code to be used for area control and/or door and floor access. Each system user can be allocated times and days that system control is available to them. Fine-tuning of system control is achieved by the separate allocation of alarm, door, and floor access times. This provides management with increased user configuration options where complex user movements are a part of organisational structure.

Doors and Floors
Access to hundreds of doors and floors can be managed by time and date down to an individual user level. To provide further integration to system alarms, the Challenger System can determine door  and/or floor access by the alarm status of a given area. This integration provides added security by not allowing personnel access to an area that is in an alarm condition, which could mean that an intruder is
still on site.

Wireless
Where cabling of your system is not feasible, or handheld duress radio devices are required, the Challenger System can become a wireless alarm system. The integration of Challenger wireless modules greatly enhances the suitability of a Challenger System to current and future applications that
your organisation may require.

System Operation
Operating the Challenger System is as simple as presenting a smart access card to the Challenger Smart Reader, or entering a PIN code at the Challenger LCD code pad. Both alarm area control and door / floor access can be achieved from a single user action at either the reader or code pad. This integration of alarm and access control provides a simple yet powerful interface to the Challenger System.
