Integrated Access Control and Security manufacturer TDSi has launched GARDiS Software Version 3. This substantial software update provides a raft of new features and functionality, along with several new integrations with popular security platforms from leading providers, all designed to meet the latest needs of security operators.
GARDiS Software Version 3 is designed to make access control management more intuitive and efficient and is packed with features designed to streamline operations and save valuable time. The latest version also includes advanced reporting and setup tools, providing deeper insights into access events and security trends.
Additionally, expanded third-party integrations ensure compatibility with a wider range of security and building management systems.
The update also features a new streamlined licensing process, which is designed to automatically appear within the TDSi product registration site, allowing for quicker, more secure license activation. With these enhancements, GARDiS 3 makes it easier than ever to deploy, manage, and scale sophisticated access control solutions.
There have been improvements to many areas of system setup such as streamlined controller addition, improved door access configuration and conditional output configuration, all of which are designed to make GARDiS easier to use and faster to deploy. There is also now the option to add a multifactor authentication license module to further improve system sign-on security.
Elsewhere, feedback from installers and end users has helped refine many aspects of the user interface. For example, it is now possible to automatically import and update people via scheduled uploads and bulk upload credentials for the first time, along with allowing additional user info fields to be added. Also driven by feedback, there are several additions to the existing highly customisable GARDiS reporting tools. The cause and effect engine now allows the use of equipment effects when creating custom reports, and it is also now possible to send instant reports via CSV, text, or email.
“GARDiS version 3 is the biggest upgrade to our popular secure access platform so far, and we are delighted to unveil the full set of exciting new features, which are based on a considerable amount of customer and installer feedback, along with in-depth research and development,” said TDSi Software Development Manager Tina Baker. “We believe these new features add considerable additional flexibility, usability, and value to our customers in meeting the evolving demands of their security needs.”
GARDiS 3 also integrates with a number of popular security and CCTV platforms from Braxos, Dahua, Hikvision, Panasonic and Vanderbilt.
Integration with the Braxos Building Management platform adds a host of business system options. Braxos acts as a middleware connector, which offers over 200 connection options via the Braxos Bridge, including lift control, visitor management and other business systems for PropTech.
New CCTV integrations with Panasonic, Dahua and Hikvision’s HikCentral CCTV platforms add video integration with liveview, video playback and video verification. Additionally, the Panasonic integration also adds PTZ functionality.
Vanderbilt intruder alarm system integration enables the operator to add an intruder panel within GARDiS, along with user zones (single PIR or sensor) and groups (multiple defined PIR/Sensors), arm/disarm group, inhibit individual zones/sensors, and to add all groups and zones to site plans within GARDiS, for easy intruder topography and monitoring.
