So you're thinking about moving your access control system forward to NPower DNA?  Good move! Built from the ground up using Distributed Network Architecture and an Info-Ready design, NPower DNA will vastly improve the way you manage security and access control.

Some of the distinct advantages you will notice right away in DNA are:

 

Multi-Document Interface

You are no longer restricted to working in a single application module at one time.  NPower DNA allows you to have such modules as Personnel, Hardware, and Events ALL open simultaneously!  Not only that, but you can arrange these windows and toolbars anyway you like them.

Drag and Drop Functionality

The multi-document interface paves the way for drag and drop functions that greatly simplify and improve the way things get done within the application.  For example, you want to assign an access level to the CEO of the company?  Simple, just drag the level and drop it on his card record.

Personnel Groups

NPower DNA gives you the power to create logical groups of your personnel.  Need to assign access to an entire group of employees?  Drag and drop the level on the group and watch DNA apply the level to ALL members of that group.

Custom Menus and Interface

Don't care for the interface?  Change it!  DNA gives you the flexibility to create custom toolbars and menus to essentially be placed anywhere you want them.  You choose the look and feel of the application.  If you need more room to spread out you can take advantage of dual monitors.

Global Hardware Edit and Control

Ever wish you could unlock all doors with a single command?  Or change the strike time on multiple doors without having to open multiple property dialogs?With DNA you can!  Simply highlight the hardware objects in the tree and edit or control.

Dynamic Event Filters

Want to see ONLY your access granted events at a given door or ONLY activities of a particular system operator?  Easy!  NPower DNA lets you filter events by specific criteria and then toggle back to all events.  Drag a card record to the event grid and view only the activity of that card.

"Who Has Access" Door Reporting

Should you have to run several reports and then compare them just to find out who has access to a door?  Of course not!  Simply right click on your door in the hardware tree and select Who Has Access for an immediate report.  DNA does the work for you.

Informational Tool Tips

The info-ready architecture of NPower DNA provides information at your fingertips.  Hovering your mouse over any hardware object shows the current status of that object.  Hover over a card and see the status of the card and any levels assigned at a glance.

Advanced Alarm Handling

Does your current alarm display fill up with alarms?  DNA streamlines the alarm handling process by providing a counter on multiple alarms from the same point.  Additionally, NPower DNA gives you the ability to acknowledge and clear multiple alarms in a single keystroke saving you valuable time.

Trace History Reporting

Need to know the last 20 places an employee has gone in your facility?  Just right click on his/her record and select Trace History.  Who went through a door?  Run a trace history on the door to see the last 20-500 transactions.  DNA's info-ready architecture makes the trace history option available from anywhere you see the object in the application.  .

 

 

Did you know...

that Open Options shares a common hardware platform with other system manufacturers such as Lenel, RS2, and Quintron?  That's right, we all sell Mercury Security panels and they are EXACTLY THE SAME across the board.  In the exciting world of open architecture access control, the real value of the system is added through the software and the service you receive from your partners in security. 

If you find yourself unhappy with the software or service you are currently receiving from any of these access control manufacturers you can easily convert your system while leaving your hardware investment untouched.  Please contact us to see how.
