April 12, 2004—S2 Security has announced the initial test installation of its new product, the S2 NetBox., at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts. The product provides video monitoring, card access, and alarm-monitoring functions for the museum’s 45,000-foot exhibit space.
The S2 NetBox is a complete security management system that integrates access control, alarm monitoring, video, intercom, and temperature monitoring applications. Unlike other systems, the NetBox uses existing LAN, WAN, and Internet connectivity in place of proprietary wiring.
Users interact with the NetBox through a Web browser found on virtually every computer, making it possible to access the system from remote locations and making it unnecessary to install software on any PC—a feature that S2 calls “zero footprint install.” The ease of use of the NetBox is augmented by its high-reliability, high-availability solid state design.
The S2 NetBox is reportedly the first in a line of network-enabled security products. After NetBox’s first release early in the summer, S2 says users can expect to see enhancements to video storage and a solution for larger networks of NetBox systems. S2 plans distribution though a network of distributors and OEM relationships after conducting its product test program over the next several months.
