Original Press Release:



GuardStation Software to Track and Control Facility Access



CORTE MADERA, CA October 11, 2004

Alpha Card Systems, a leading company in photo ID systems and security integration, has introduced AlphaTrack Pro, user-friendly guardstation software for tracking usage of your facility. AlphaTrack Pro software lets you track and control access to your facility using the barcode or magnetic stripe on your ID cards.

Each card swipe is time-stamped with the cardholder ID and station code and the cardholder's photo and security information is displayed for your attendant to verify identity and access rights. Entry and exit times are compiled and can be tracked to determine who is on-site at any given time. This tracking and reporting standard is recommended by Homeland Security in case of an emergency.

Through modification of cardholder rights you can control access and receive instant notification if access is not authorized. You can relay confidential messages or maintain personal data using non-printing data fields. Emergency medical response teams can track the skill levels of team members and volunteers and assign them accordingly. Personal information, such as blood type, social security numbers, and emergency contacts, is accessible yet still confidential.

AlphaTrack Pro integrates easily with AlphaCard ID card software or other data sources. Custom reports tailored to your specific needs can be generated quickly from the log file stored in a standard Access database. You can print or view visitor activity by day, week, or month as needed. Additionally, the software is networkable with multiple locations to share a single database while keeping detailed visitor and company information confidential.

With an intuitive Point and Click interface, this full-featured guardstation software requires little or no training, yet is suitable for operations ranging from a dozen volunteer firemen to Fortune 500 companies with thousands of employees and visitors.

Alpha Card Systems is a leading provider of integrated photo ID card systems for employee security badges, automated transactions, and personal identification. The company personalizes and laminates nearly every type of media including blank preprinted PVC cards, and encodes magnetic stripes, proximity and smart cards. Since 1986 the company has served thousands of customers in over 100 countries.
