1 Overview

The purpose of this manual is to guide you in the configuration of Speco access

control devices within the SecureGuard® Configuration Tool. Before starting to

add access control devices, please familiarize yourself with the basic usage and

setup of SecureGuard® as outlined in the SecureGuard® Technical Manual.

The instructions here are applicable for the following access control devices:

ACC12

ACC14

ACMC1

ACS1

2 Access Control Sites

Within SecureGuard®, an access control device is designated as a non-video

site with associated doors.

3 Access Control Users

Unlike an Operator of the SecureGuard® system, access control users are those

managed by the operators and can be staff, employees or visitors; anyone

needing access to the monitored premise. An access control user in

SecureGuard® consists of a name, access card details, fingerprint record, a

photo of the user and the user’s access permissions as determined by their role

or custom settings.

4 SecureGuard® Configuration Tool

The SecureGuard® system requires configuration information that needs to be

initially specified by the Administrator. This includes

1. Configuration of network settings for communication with access control

sites.

2. Individual configuration of Access Control sites

3. User details to add to the access control sites.

5 Access Control Site Setup

A site refers to a DVR, NVR, IP camera or access control devices. Use the Sites

dialog to configure connections to these devices. Click the Access Control

button (sub-tab) to view access control devices.

Figure 1 - Sites Configuration

The following site operations are available:

5.1 Site Locate

An easy way to locate and add sites for access control devices on your local

network is to use the Site Locate button. This function helps automate the

creation of site objects for local devices. When the Access Control button/sub-

tab is selected, pressing Site Locate brings up a dialog as shown below listing

only access control devices.

Figure 2 - Site Locate dialog

The function scans the local network for access control devices and

displays information about these devices in table format. The information

includes the name, IP address, port number, and the MAC address, which

can be sorted.

The table at left shows existing sites found. To add any of these sites to the

configuration, double click the entry. This opens the Site Settings dialog

(below) with many of the required entries prefilled. Change the site name

if desired, enter the user name and password and any other required

information (see example below). Once the site is fully defined, click OK to

add the device.

Note: if no devices are found, check that the Client and Video Interfaces

selected on the Network tab are set to the local area network.

5.2 Site Settings

To add a new site or edit a site prefilled using Site Locate, do the following:

1. Click the New button (if needed). This opens a Site Settings dialog.

Examples of this are shown below. Note: Sites that are chosen to be

edited cannot have their Type or Model changed.

Figure 3- Site Settings dialog

2. In the Site Settings dialog, enter a new name for the site if desired. All site

names in the Sites list must be unique.

3. All sites are enabled by default, initiating communication with

SecureGuard®. Deselect this checkbox to prevent SecureGuard® from

using this site. Note a disabled access controller will operate as a stand-

alone device such that the doors will continue to operate as last

configured.

4. Sites may be designated as a Site of Interest. This action will prepend a

special character to the site name everywhere it is used within the

application, making special locations stand out among other sites being

monitored.

5. Select the Model for the site, if not prefilled. If you do not see the correct

model in the list shown, scroll up or down to see additional choices.

6. Enter the remaining site IP address, port, username and password that

apply to the device. Note that the settings may vary for each Model.

7. If device is connected to multiple doors, select the door number to assign

a name and associate entry and exit cameras.

8. Check Disable if the door is not in use.

9. Check Swap In/Out Signals to reverse the direction of the read event

signals. This is used if an exit reader is physically wired to the entry junction

terminals on the controller (or visa-versa). For example, a bi-directional

door can be configured using connections to door 1 and 2 and checking

this box for door 2.

The signal is used for real-time event logging and recording triggers.

10. Click the modify button below Entry Cameras and Exit Cameras to

associate video sites to the access control device. Multiple video sites

may be associated to the entry and exit function of the access control

device.

11. Click the Check Site button to validate the connection and credentials.

Figure 4 Select Sites

12. When a valid SMS Mass Notification license is installed, the following SMS

Notification Settings section willbe enabled. SMS notification may be

defined on a per site basis. Keyword and Keyword Text information will

accompany license. Alarm inputs on the controller can be used to trigger

the SMS notification. Note that access events do not currently support SMS

notifications.

Figure 5 SMS Notification Settings

13. Record Trigger Time may be set to add a specified number of seconds to

both the beginning and end of a system recording.

14. Door Recordings are enabled for both normal access (access granted)

and reader errors (access denied). Uncheck either checkbox to disable

the recording for the corresponding access events.

The following additional functions are available by selecting an access

controller site in the Sites tab and clicking the right mouse button:

Edit - Update an existing site. Select a site from the sites list and press the

Edit button, or double-click on the site to open the Site Settings dialog and

make changes to the information.

Note: Type and Model cannot be changed when editing.

Delete - A pop-up is displayed to confirm this action.

Duplicate – Within an environment, there may be multiple site entries for

the same type of site with slight differences such as Username and

password. This function creates a new site item with the same parameters

as the original. Edit the site to modify any parameters.

Rename – Enter a new name in the location provided. Sites may also be

renamed using the Edit button.

Enable – Enable/disable site.

Configuration – This action initiates a dialog window for configuring

settings on the access control device itself. See the next section for a

description of this window.

6 Access Control Device Configuration

Select a site in the Sites tab and click the right mouse button to bring up the

Access Controller Configuration window.

11 EZ Access

SecureGuard has developed an intuitive interface for managing user access

permissions without having to edit each user’s permission one by one. This

method of permission assignment is accomplished from the main User

Management Window. Note the left and right pointing arrows situated between

the User Management Window and the Sites/Door Access Window.

Figure 19 – EZ Access

Click on either direction arrow to highlight it blue. A blue left direction arrow

indicates the user(s) selected in the User Management Window (highlighted

blue rows) have been granted access to doors that are checked in the

Sites/Door Access window. Conversely, a blue right direction arrow indicates

those doors in the Sites/Door Access Window (highlighted blue rows) may be

accessed by users that are checked in the User Management Window. The

following is how one can use the direction arrows to easily view and modify

permissions for multiple users and multiple doors.

Blue left direction arrow - A blue highlighted user or users is granted

access to all doors with checked checkboxes. Doors with a grey square in

the checkbox indicate the door is granted access to only a subset of users

selected.

Blue right direction arrow – A door or doors with a checked checkbox is

granted access to all users with checked checkboxes. Users with a grey

square in the checkbox indicate the user has access to a subset of doors

selected.

Additionally, users and doors permissions can be easily assigned by utilizing the

directional arrows:

Blue left direction arrow – By checking or unchecking a door, one can

permit or deny access to all users with checked checkboxes.

Blue right direction arrow – By checking or unchecking a user, one can

permit or deny access the user access to all doors with checked

checkboxes.
