GE Interlogix Announces Secure Perfect 4.0 Security Management System Integration for Growing Businesses



BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 2003-- Open Interface Enables Easy, Cost-Effective, Scalable Integration with Existing or New Systems

GE Interlogix, CASI Division, today announced Secure Perfect 4.0(TM), an access control and security management system developed for growing businesses. Packaging the best of GE technology into a single application, the new release is a fully integrated access control, alarm monitoring, video surveillance, photo ID badging and security management system.

"By incorporating new features, like Web-based reporting, CASI provides additional value to end-users who seek enterprise-wide information access for investigative reporting," said Zack Hamm of Security Management Consulting. "An open application program interface (API) offered by industry leaders like CASI has a positive impact on industry collaboration between independent system vendors and promotes faster development of interfaces that can be easily integrated into a customer's existing or new system."

"While business may be fluid, a company's security integration program should be reliable, yet flexible. Secure Perfect provides a truly open environment to support growth without compromising durability," said Juan Cabezas, president of GE Interlogix, CASI Division. "We've incorporated these new features to provide customers, who have dynamic business needs, with integration capabilities, like combined access and intrusion zone control, and enhanced tools such as Web-based reporting."

Secure Perfect 4.0 incorporates enterprise-class features and performance with several new features including an API for custom integration, Web-based reporting, and combined access and intrusion zone control for more accurate control and monitoring of secured areas.

Application Program Interface (API)
Secure Perfect now offers true open database connectivity and a published API to address customer specific integration requirements. The open architecture database and application components make integration with virtually any external application simple. It also allows real-time data exchange with other security and enterprise business systems.

Web-based Reporting
In addition to standard reporting, Secure Perfect 4.0 incorporates a new Web-based reporting feature with standard and custom reporting capabilities. Customers can deploy reports across an enterprise with network access and use a standard Web browser from any workstation within the organization. This feature enables department personnel, outside of security, to perform any necessary reporting against the security system database without requiring additional software or direct access into the security system.

Combined Access and Intrusion Zone Control
An added feature to Secure Perfect 4.0 is the ability to logically link access controlled doors and intrusion alarm zones for more accurate control and monitoring of secured areas. To help eliminate false alarms when personnel gain valid access into a monitored area, Secure Perfect allows customers to arm or to disarm alarm monitoring while allowing or restricting access into associated areas based on cardholder access rights.

Powerful and easy to use right out of the box Secure Perfect is based on Microsoft(R) technology standards, supports Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and SQL Server database platforms and delivers high-performance and scalability. With Secure Perfect, customers have access to full security system management and integration over standard LAN/WAN infrastructures. In addition, system administration, monitoring, and video surveillance can be performed from any Secure Perfect workstation on a network.

Product Availability
Secure Perfect will begin shipping in early April 2003. For more information on pricing contact your local dealer. To locate a dealer in your region, visit our website at www.ge-interlogix.com or call 1-800 428-2733.
