Morse Watchmans Previews Voice Cues on Key Control System
Morse Watchmans' KeyWatcher system uses voice cues to prompt the user to open the door, remove the key, return the key, and close the door.
Morse Watchmans is giving a preview of its new voice cues at this year’s ASIS show for security professionals. The new feature will be demonstrated along with the company’s portfolio of key control and asset management systems, offering organizations of all sizes a full range of choices to access the benefits of managed key control.
“Key management is a vital tool in ensuring a safe and secure facility, and voice cues make it even easier for the user to incorporate key control into their security program,” said Fernando Pires, VP sales and marketing, Morse Watchmans. “The breadth of innovation in our product portfolio builds on that capability by giving users more exciting and easy to use options for creating an integrated and comprehensive state of the art security system.”
The KeyWatcher system uses voice cues to prompt the user to open the door, remove the key, return the key, and close the door. While the feature is not currently offered with new systems, a positive response from show attendees will speed its incorporation into new systems in the future.
Users can select key management solutions for single location applications, multiple site enterprise level installations, and for fleet management applications. Features that make the user experience more exceptional include scheduled reports, automatic email notifications, easier to use on-screen icons, key reservations, mobile capability, and checking key ring inventory.
KeyWatcher Touch has been updated to incorporate new, easier-to-use onscreen icons. The enterprise key control and management system has a large touchscreen and user-intuitive interface. KeyWatcher TrueTouch software offers ring inventory functionality, allowing multiple rings to be designated for a single SmartKey. Users can now more easily define what keys and rings are attached to the SmartKey. KeyWatcher Illuminated can be configured with a variety of modules, includingthe credit/access card module and single and dual locker modules. The Mobile App enables authorized users to see a wide range of live information and to interact remotely with the KeyWatcher Touch key control and asset management system.
