"Show Me How" at IFSEC 2018: The capabilities of ACT365
ACT365 aids the installers’ job for simple and quick installations and performing maintenance tasks remotely. When managing ACT365, the installer can view its interface from any internet-ready-device. Valuable details such as controller status, system health, possible tampering incidents, door forced, and door ajar are provided remotely, avoiding the necessity of on-site call-outs.
SPC Milestone plugin V2 – release
The SPC Milestone plugin allows users to trigger off events and control SPC systems from within the Milestone system. When installed, the plugin allows for a 30-day trial for up to two panels and will allow the display of areas, zones, doors, and outputs from the SPC system. The plugin uses FlexC to communicate with the panel. The license provides customers with 1-year support and availability to updates.
In addition to the new functions, Vanderbilt will be offering an additional licensing option for smaller systems. This new 5-panel license is offered at a reduced price point but offers the same functionality and operation.

SPC - BMS and Automation Solutions (part 1)
The intelligence of any system can only be determined by data available for the system to make intelligent decisions. The security and access system within any building provides an information source for occupancy, movement and the state of the building. When users enter the building in the morning, the system disarms, and the user moves about the building between different areas of the system.
The SPC intrusion system is designed to be a modular security system which can scale to achieve and support the needs of commercial buildings providing monitoring for various types of sensors, doors and providing multiple user interfaces.
In this article we described how strategic partnerships can bridge the gap between the building automation design companies and the security industry, to provide flexible platforms that can be retrofitted into systems or designed as a critical element of the system from the beginning.
