| Granta 5 is a high-end access control system, based on Microsoft SQL databases. The system architecture is highly flexible, very powerful and extremely secure, providing the ability to deliver "bespoke" system functions at "off the peg prices". The structure of the Granta System is modular at all levels, allowing configurations for applications of all sizes and degrees of complexity: - Software elements can be installed as required in different locations on a network to suit the needs of different operators
- An almost unlimited number of controllers can be connected via a number of communication types
- Software and hardware can support multiple levels of local systems and remote sites
The whole system is managed by the Granta 5 core software package. The PC is used to set up and monitor the system, but does not normally take part in the access control decisions. The 4880 software contains a number of elements providing extensive functionality and flexibility of installation. Alarm Graphics, Video Badging, Multiple Hardware Systems, X-Link, Image Monitor, Visitor Manager, CLIC I/O programming, 48Hour (basic T&A), DVR viewer, CCTV Manager and Database Partitioning are all included in the software package. This modularity of controllers, system and software provides maximum flexibility for cost-optimised installations in a wide variety of applications and system size: - Robust, adaptable system structures for larger systems
- Multiple operator stations over LANs
- Remote sites via leased line, dial-up, GSM or TCP/IP
