Benefits

We take security seriously

Remote access

Harness the power of the internet to connect to your security system from anywhere. If you do not have a network on site we will build one on Telstra 4G.

Keyless entry

Reduce your reliance on keys by issuing access cards or fobs, or issue a PIN code that works immediately.

Future proof

Technology is evolving rapidly. We continue to push innovation and establish integrations to ensure you have the latest features.

Remote control

The portal is easy to operate and takes the complexity out of operating your security system. Add users, run reports, turn on alarms, turn off lights.

Increased revenue

With keyless entry you can restrict times that facilities are used by clients. Hirers make a paid booking in the system to get a PIN number that allows them to open a facility.

Data integration

Connect your booking or member database to allow a seamless exchange of user information. Have access control cards or PIN numbers transmitted directly.

Situational awareness

Log on in real time to see what is happening on site. View CCTV footage to verify who is on site and activate sirens and lights if needed.

No more double handling

With a central database you can send data to many sites. You no longer have to dial into each site or get a technician to visit each site to make the changes.

Reduced costs

Your time is valuable and sending technicians to site costs money. You can eliminate these costs by using secCloud to remotely log on and manage your security system.

Proactive control

Gone are the days of travelling to site to turn on the alarm or add a user to the security database. This can all be done at any time, using the secCloud web portal, anywhere.

Increased accountability

By allocating trades and cleaners with PIN codes, you can review the audit trail to see when they attended site and make sure they are fulfilling their commitments.

Status pages

When you log in to the customer portal you can see the status of alarm areas and doors in real time from the custom status pages in secCloud.

Access control

Swipe the card reader and the door opens. That's the easy part.

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.

Features customers find useful

  • 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

We can run it for you

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 that 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 log in 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.

Smartphone app: Mobile Key

Mobile Key gives you the ability to control your security system while you are on the go. You can use your smartphone to log in to your system with the same user rights as the secCloud customer portal.

  • Eliminate the need for cards and readers by using Mobile Key.
  • Open the gate from your car before you get there.
  • If you forgot to turn off the alarm when you left the office, then arm it from the phone.
  • Open doors for deliveries from across town or on the other side of the world.
  • Receive push notifications of events.

Mobile Key has double authentication. To use Mobile Key you have to log in to your phone using a password or biometrics, then use a PIN code for the Mobile Key application, making it a safe option.

Intruder detection

Enterprise grade alarm, simple to run

secCloud offers a state of the art, robust, enterprise grade intruder detection system that is easy for end users to understand and manage. The alarm system is infinitely scalable, from a few alarm zones in a single area to hundreds of alarm zones in many areas.

Simplicity and flexibility at the core

You can arm and disarm the alarm using a time schedule, a keypad, by swiping your access control reader, a smartphone app, or using the customer portal.

Supports many alarm input devices

Motion detectors, door reed switches, duress buttons, smoke and heat alarms, or signals from other systems like a fire alarm system.

Integrate alarm and access control

Double badge arm the system from a reader, and partition your building into multiple areas so people can arm and disarm only the areas they have access to.

Lights on when an intrusion occurs

secCloud can turn on the lights so the CCTV system gets clear recorded images as evidence of the break in, and can email you when the system goes into alarm.

NBN ready monitoring

Alarm monitoring over the internet is onboard and part of the system, which allows you to leverage your investment in existing data networks and connections.

Upgrade your existing system

Where you have an existing system with movement detectors and sirens you can simply replace the control equipment with secCloud hardware, then control the system from the customer portal or your smartphone.

Communications

Remote access, actually working

secVision Networks can provide the telecommunications needed to ensure remote access to a security system is established. We have partnered with Telstra to offer our clients access to 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 provide a turnkey solution including the telecommunications for a seamless managed service delivery of your security.

Remote access to streaming video

If you want to use your CCTV system 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

We offer 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 support and training

As part of our service plans we offer remote system support and training, either from the Security Operations Centre or by logging in to a client's desktop.

Remote device monitoring

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 get the signal out of the building and to the Security Operations Centre for analysis, verification and response.

secServer · enterprise grade

For a large campus or many sites

An integrated security system for an organisation with a large campus or multiple sites, where you need the system to be controlled on your network. secServer is powered by Protege GX, an enterprise grade access control, intruder detection and building automation system from Integrated Control Technology.

Each controller has an IP network connection so you can run multiple controllers on a single local area network or across a wide area network around the city, country or globe.

You would consider secServer where you want the security platform on your network behind a corporate firewall. If your network security policies are rigorous then secServer will suit your organisation.

  • Graphical floor plans to arm, disarm and control from a visual site map.
  • Customisable status pages that minimise the learning curve for new operators.
  • Alarm and event filters so operators see only what is relevant.
  • Built-in and custom reports, generated automatically and emailed on a schedule.
  • Integrations with DVR and NVR systems, wireless locking, BMS, intercom and elevators.
  • Data sync service and custom integration tools for your own developers.

Smart building

Join the systems together, cut the waste

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 ecosystem.

secCloud holds information that can be shared with building management systems, 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, 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.

Encrypted data network

AES-256, end to end

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 system controller 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.

Customer portal

Everything, from your phone

The secCloud customer portal is a web powered user interface that allows you to control your security systems using any web connected device.

  • Add a new user without having to visit the site.
  • Open doors across town or across the world.
  • Arm the office alarm system from home.
  • Run audit reports on who turned the alarm off or when a contractor arrived on site.
  • Update access levels for interstate staff.

Questions

secCloud, answered

What makes a security system effective?

Security systems are an effective tool to reduce your risk in relation to theft and work health and safety. By combining who has access to the site and when, using access control swipe cards, with live streaming and recording CCTV, you have control. An alarm system with back to base monitoring and the ability to look at the CCTV cameras remotely means that a Virtual Guard can be on site immediately.

Can a security system control lights?

A security system can automate anything that has a switch. You can control lights, air conditioning and anything else that has an on or off switch. This can be done by arming the alarm or using the smartphone app to turn the device off. You can save money by controlling when these devices operate.

Can I use my smartphone to control the system?

Our access control and alarm security systems can be controlled using a smartphone app. This comes in handy when you forget to arm the alarm and need to do it remotely, or someone needs to get into the site and you can unlock the door or gate. Our CCTV systems have a smartphone app that allows you to live stream footage from site so you can see what is going on, or review footage so you know what has been happening.

Can the security system work on multiple sites?

secCloud is ideal for multiple sites. Using a single database for all of your sites you can log into the customer portal, add a user once and give them access to multiple offices simultaneously. On the customer portal you can arm and disarm alarms and open doors in any office.

Why is the software in the cloud?

Running the security software on a cloud based server means you do not need to manage a server in your organisation for access control, intruder detection or building automation. We have been running secCloud on a secure server in a secure data centre since 2013. This allows you to scale quickly across many sites without having to invest in costly servers. If your corporate requirements are to run the system on your own infrastructure, we have onsite solutions for that.

Is my data safe?

The secCloud application is housed on a secure server in a secure data centre. It is backed up several times a day and the backups are stored on a server in a different data centre. The server framework is reviewed and monitored to ensure we have the most secure, high-performing, resilient and efficient infrastructure possible. The secCloud application is tested against internet hacking techniques in a process called penetration testing to ensure we can safeguard against threats.

What if my site does not have an internet connection?

We embrace the internet of things and can provide 4G connectivity on the Telstra network. The Telstra 4G network reaches 97.9% of the Australian population and as long as you have a 4G signal, we can provide the secCloud access control, intruder detection and building automation system along with the secWatch Virtual Guard service.

Can I use one access control card across all my sites?

By using the secCloud system you can control all of your sites using the customer portal and can also use a single access control card or fob to access all sites. That means staff travelling to other offices do not need to track down a pass to gain entry on site when they arrive.
