Honeywell announced the launch of WIN-PAK® SE/PE with GALAXY integration, a single interface that combines access control and video with intrusion.  The software can control and manage employee or customer access to designated or restricted areas in many types of facilities and businesses.

"WIN-PAK SE/PE with GALAXY integration is the next generation of the WIN-PAK platform," said René von Franquemont, product-marketing manager for Honeywell Access Systems EMEA.  "It combines industry-leading security products into a powerful, comprehensive security solution for customers."

WIN-PAK SE/PE allows users to manage three separate systems through a single easy-to-use software interface, which not only saves time and money, but also improves the level of security by eliminating user code sharing.  Benefits of the integrated WIN-PAK SE/PE with GALAXY system include:

• Fast and easy setup.  A step-by-step installation wizard makes setup quick and easy.
• Enhanced intrusion function.  Adding WIN-PAK SE/PE to an existing GALAXY installation allows users to take advantage of added features such as an on-screen virtual keypad, real-time event and alarm reporting and managing the intrusion alarm system through graphical floor plans
• Increased system security for customers.  The seamless integration with Honeywell Fusion and Rapid Eye™ Series digital video recorders extends data storage space and facilitates easy identification, retrieval and playback of events and alarms.
• Greater sales opportunities for installers.  Because it provides a three-in-one solution, installers are able to offer end users substantial enhancements to existing systems or significantly improve the operation of new security systems by reducing training and labour.
• Incremental revenue advantages.  The new WIN-PAK SE/PE software provides installers with the opportunity to add digital video and/or intrusion functionality to existing access installations as customer needs change, creating additional revenue and increased customer retention.

"It takes a unique software interface to effectively harness the power of our high-end intrusion panels," said Andrew Aitken, product-marketing manager for Honeywell Security and Custom Electronics EMEA.  "WIN-PAK SE/PE with GALAXY integration delivers this power in a big way.  By tying together Honeywell's premier products of access, intrusion and video, it offers a versatile solution that meets customer needs of today without sacrificing the needs of tomorrow."

WIN-PAK SE/PE with GALAXY integration is ideal for areas such as office buildings, employee and delivery doors, pharmacies, off-licences, day care facilities, warehouses, restaurants and hospitals.
