Abloy UK says the new Primo electronic access control solution, developed with sister company, Impro Technologies, offers ‘an innovative and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)’ that enhances user experience.
It said: “Primo represents a significant step forward in access control software, and is set to define the way security professionals interact with systems, offering a more intuitive, user-friendly, and secure solution. It addresses a significant challenge in the security industry – ensuring that life-safe doors equipped with electric locks can offer the same functionality as wired access control systems.”
Primo can also link with CCTV systems, offering detailed accounts of who accessed a door using a mechanical key, and lock down a site in the event of an electronic failure.
Abloy UK said: “The system is designed to be user-friendly right out of the box, with no configuration needed. Customers can simply wire it in, and then the software takes over, presenting alarm functionalities immediately.”
Primo ‘seamlessly integrates’ with Abloy UK’s electric locking systems – its launch coinciding with the introduction of the new iTRT2-EL controller, designed to support its electric locking range. Abloy UK explained: “This is particularly crucial for doors classified as life-safe, where compliance and functionality are integral.”
Jason Boyce, Commercial Product manager – Electronic Access Control, at Abloy UK, said: “The industry has been talking about mobile credentials for a long time, and we are starting to see this becoming the default in terms of customer requirements. With this in mind, Primo allows users to natively provision and deprovision HID Mobile Identities from the GUI with no requirement for development - another compelling reason for our customers to choose it.”
