March 7, 2008—Videx has introduced CyberLock, an electronic lock and key system that helps healthcare facilities control and audit traffic to pharmaceutical cabinets. An administrator can track access to sensitive areas because both the electronic lock and key store a record of openings and denied entries. CyberLock eliminates incidents of unauthorized entry and provides reports of openings, and exceptions such as unauthorized attempts to gain access.
CyberLock quickly converts mechanical lock hardware to an electronic access control system. This is done by replacing the mechanical cylinders inside the existing cabinet locks with CyberLock electronic cylinders. No structural modifications or wiring are required for installation, says the company.
The system includes the CyberLock electronic cylinder, which can not be compromised by picking and an electronic key that can not be duplicated. Each authorized user’s key can be programmed to access selected locks on specific days and only during certain times on those days.
A “lost” key can be quickly blocked from the system, making it inactive. In addition, keys can be set with a date to begin operation as well as an expiration date, eliminating the inconvenience and expense of re-keying.
