For security professionals who want to avoid proprietary PACS

AppControl is professional level open architecture access control software. Quite simply this means
that it manages physical access control hardware and security systems from multiple manufacturers,
even in the same project. AppControl can even save you money and provide an R.O.I.

AppControl is deployed to manage complete access control projects as well as complete security
integration all by using open architecture modules and without manufacturer lock-in.
When deployed with fully open access control hardware controllers you dont need additional access
control software. AppControl will manage your complete door access needs.
Examples of just 2 of our access hardware partners that are fully compatible with AppControl and could be
used together. With both of these AppControl is all that you need to manage your door access security.

Whats wrong with proprietary security systems for control room integration?
In many cases single source manufacturers can be costly to your business and your
security needs. A single source PACS for example restricts what you can do and what can
integrate with your security system as its features are rigidly predefined by the
manufacturer. AppVision interfaces are open and customisable by security integrators.
Proprietary manufacturers want to lock you into their own technologies which will
mean that you have less choice in what you can connect (almost certainly nothing that
they compete with). So if your goal is to maintain and upgrade your security with
best of breed integrated security technologies then you should be looking at open architecture.
Worst of all some closed and proprietary PACS brands are often the most expensive to purchase
which may have huge costs for compulsory maintenance contracts, expensive upgrades and high
development costs if you ask them to integrate something they dont currently support.
