High end security and building management systems have had good market acceptance. For the user wanting to add other functionality has meant the addition of a new system on top of whatever was already installed. This makes monitoring cumbersome and also adds to the cost of upgrading existing systems.

KeyWatcher® key control systems can now be added to existing high end security and building management networks, without the need of setting up a separate system. Our Australian-developed KW Exchange software allows the seamless retrofit of KeyWatcher systems to  high end card access systems from Cardax and biometric-based systems from Biometric Innovations.

Our new software allows KeyWatcher to be integrated to most high end systems. Local field trials and early market acceptance of KW Exchange have allowed us to market the system overseas through our principals, Morse Watchmans.

Integration of KeyWatcher to an existing security network means that all events highlighted by KeyWatcher appear on monitors already run by installed systems. This saves the user the cost of installing an additional monitoring system.

Security personnel now only have to look out for KeyWatcher events in the existing security management system—there’s no need to refamiliarise and re-train on a separate system.

Another feature we like to stress is the ease of retrofit installations. This provides users with existing KeyWatcher systems another good reason to upgrade to the new KW Exchange software and with minimum cost get the real benefits of the product.

One should not forget that the loss of keys results in a lot hassle and the possibility of loss or vandalism with the compromise of building security. When one considers the need to change locks, make and re-issue new duplicate keys and so on, the addition of KeyWatcher makes a lot of sense.

KeyWatcher systems can hold keys of almost any size and as many as 2000 in one system, whilst allowing up to five levels of access for each staff member.

KeyWatcher products are available in Australia through Australian Security Technology.
