Features and benefits

  • 100% TCP/IP system: support for IP readers allows building completely network-based security systems without any controllers, and enjoy benefits such as high-speed network communications, Power-over-Ethernet, reduced wiring, fault tolerance and much more.
  • Superior monitoring features: XAML animation, clear icons, vector graphics, real-time events on maps.
  • "Push" technology: unlike in most other systems, SimpleID software does not poll events from controllers or readers. Instead events are sent (pushed) by IP readers or controllers, therefore alarms are displayed as soon as they occur, without any delays. Unnecessary network trafic caused by polling is also eliminated.
  • Multi-lingual user interface: English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi (Persian), Azerbaijani, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish and Russian languages are included in the standard installation. Built-in translation tool allows translating the program to any other language or correcting text of the user interface text on the fly.
  • Alarm management: require operators to confirm and add comment to selected types of alarm events.
  • Compatible with configuration-free VPN: allows installers administrate multiple end-user systems remotely without leaving an office.
  • Audible notification: sound warnings to attract attention of operators.
  • Complete alarm history: time of event, time of confirmation by operator, operator comments and total time spent on investingating each alarm.
  • Notification by email and SMS: receive alarms in your mailbox or on your mobile phone; automatically notify users of certain system events. Possible applications: sending a text message to parents when their children come to (or leave from) school, sending warnings to maintenance crew if a malfunction is detected.
  • Real-time face detection: automatic face detection and cropping when capturing user photos via a USB camera.
  • Real-time building occupancy information shown on remote displays connected via TCP/IP
  • User import from and export to CSV, MS Excel and other formats.
  • Web Services API for integrating with 3rd party systems.
  • QuickAdd feature for issuing new cards: increments card numbers automatically, no need to type.
  • FriendlyBits: system automatically detects and configures card formats, or allows using raw card data without the need to setup card formats.
  • Unlimited number of ID cards/PINs & biometric templates per user.
  • 6 access levels per user.
  • Remote administration: compatible with configuration-free VPN solutions. Allows installers to support end-users over Internet.
  • Time & attendance reports: regular work time, late arrivals, early departures and overtime calculated based on access control events. Reports exported to MS Excel for manual corrections if required.
  • eco-Friendly printing: fits more data into each page, reduces paper and ink/toner consumption when printing reports.
  • Global APB, software-independent: controllers use peer-to-peer communication to share anti-passback status of users. Software failure does not disable APB function.
  • APB modes: hard, soft and timed
  • Impressive scalability: start from just one IP reader and expand the system to hundreds of readers distributed all over the LAN/WAN.
  • Worry-free usage: scheduled automatic database clean up and archiving.
  • Single-click system updates: software automatically detects and upgrades the existing installation and database.
  • Extensive reports: user data, device settings, events, access groups.
  • [YourBrandName]™: SimpleID supports skins allowing installers and integrators to add their own look and feel to the software (software name, logo, colors and contact information may be customized).
  • Clear and intuitive: any IT specialist can have the system configured and running in less than 15 minutes simply by following easy step-by-step instructions. No experience in security necessary!
  • Supports hardware of major access control manufacturers: HID Global, Suprema Inc & Mercury Security.
