Vanderbilt has released its new VR mullion card reader with keypad. Designed for easy installation, use, and maintenance, it maximizes the user interaction with arming, access, and messaging that results in enhanced user interaction “at the door.”
All models of the readers have three indicator LEDs and a multi-tone buzzer for audio verification. A multi-colour light frame enforces access status information. This can be configured to follow the indicator LEDs or any number of different options. Display brilliance is set automatically by an inbuilt light sensor. Aesthetics aside, one of the key features in this new release from Vanderbilt, is the inclusion of the highly secure OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) in the readers to help combat people hacking communications.
“One of the really nice design features we have implemented with these new readers,” starts Ross Wilks, Head of Marketing Communications at the company, “is that when the light bar is in rest mode, it can be configured to appear in a colour that suits the building’s interior design, or even the company’s corporate colours. There is also automatic mood lighting to ensure the readers are not too bright when it is dark. Subtle design features like that are why we feel the Vanderbilt VR mullion card readers are the slickest on the market,” finishes Wilks.
Designed to work with all of Vanderbilt’s systems, including SPC, Omnis, and ACT, they are also vandal resistant and tamper protected. The configuration of the card readers can easily be achieved by using a configuration card, and secure Desfire encryption keys can be downloaded into the reader.
