January 22, 2003—EasyLobby’s new Secure Visitor Management system electronically reads a visitor’s ID (driver’s license or business card) and automatically captures all relevant information in a secure database file, including the name of the person being visited, the reason for the visit, and their entry and exit times. In twenty seconds or less, the person is professionally checked in and a high-quality visitor badge is printed.
EasyLobby says its new flagship product, EasyLobby SVM (Secure Visitor Management) 6.0, represents a major upgrade to Photo Plus 5.1, the previous version of EasyLobby’s highly successful visitor management software. The new SVM 6.0 software contains all of the features of the previous version, plus:
- ODBC-compliant support for Oracle and SQL Server databases
- An advanced Application Programming Interface (API) for easily integrating SVM 6.0 with any Access Control, HR, or CRM application
- The ability to automatically capture visitor information by reading the magstripe or 2D barcode on a driver’s license, or by OCR-scanning a business card
- Support for capturing visitor photos and signatures electronically
- Major enhancements to the EasyLobby Administrator module to allow security personnel to remotely print reports and monitor visitors checking in and out of all locations, in real-time, from any PC on the network
- Support for creating Contractor and visiting Employee badges that can be used for multi-day check in and check out (no need to re-issue badges each day)
- Comprehensive support for Multi-Tenant buildings, both commercial and residential, including the ability for tenants to pre-register their visitors over the Internet (using EasyLobby eAdvance)
- The ability to print Employee photo ID cards, plus over 200 built-in Visitor badge templates to choose from, and a new point-and-click Badge Designer for quickly and easily creating custom badge designs
- An Access Control List feature which automatically matches new visitor names and faces with a customer-defined list of unwelcome people (ex-employees, hostile spouses, etc.)
- An enhanced Self-Registration mode for unattended visitor check in and out, with support for six languages and automatic e-mail to the employee being visited
- A simple, intuitive user interface with four different levels of log-in security to protect valuable company data and program settings
EasyLobby SVM 6.0 can also be combined with the company’s new Web-based pre-registration software (eAdvance 6.0). An unlimited number of personal computers running EasyLobby SVM 6.0 can be networked over any LAN or WAN to share one or more visitor databases on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or Access, says EasyLobby. The software is compatible with all Microsoft Windows operating systems, from Windows 98 through Windows XP. Minimum PC requirements include a Pentium III processor, 128 MB of RAM, and 50 MB of free hard disk space.
