March 24, 2004—Videx’s CyberLock brings key control and an audit trail of every opening to padlocks. A standard padlock can be converted into a full-functioning access control system by replacing its mechanical cylinder with a CyberLock electronic cylinder. These unique padlocks report who, what, where and when.
Padlocks retrofitted with these intelligent cylinders are ideal for where controlled access and an audit trail are needed. New padlocks with CyberLock electronic cylinders already pre-installed are also available. CyberLock padlocks are ideal for outdoor applications such as securing equipment, storage containers, and gated areas. In addition to padlocks, CyberLock cylinders can be installed in lock hardware on safes, server cabinets, and doors throughout entire facilities.
This electronic padlock system consists of the pick-proof CyberLock cylinder in a padlock, a CyberKey that cannot be duplicated, and CyberAudit access control software. Access privileges and battery power are located in the key. A key can be programmed to restrict each authorized user’s access to specific padlocks on pre-selected days and times.
Each time the CyberKey opens a padlock, a record of the user ID, date, and time is stored in both the lock and the key. A key can be set to automatically expire within minutes, hours, days, months, even shift-by-shift, depending on the specific task that has been assigned to the user.
