HR application programming
interfaces (API)
The standard HR API enables third-party
business applications to communicate
with SiPass integrated and exchange
common information, which eliminates
the need to enter identical data into mul-
tiple applications. Cardholder and other
access control data can be accessed and
modified using a Web browser or human
resources system, for example.
In addition to the standard HR API fea-
tures, the extended HR API allows you to
perform more advanced functions from
a third-party application, such as provid-
ing a cardholder with access privileges
or assigning a visitor with a temporary
access profile.
Management station application
programming interface (API)
The management station API enables
in tegration with virtually any third-party
management system.
Visitor management
The visitor management option enables
the use of the same graphical user inter-
face that is used for permanent cardhold-
ers to also be used to register visitors. It
is possible to capture visitors’ facial imag-
es, paste in existing image files, record
personal details, print access cards and
locate a visitor easily.
Graphics
The graphics option makes it possible to
design, import and construct customized
graphical maps that are used by security
operators to visually handle alarm condi-
tions and continually monitor the status
of all points within the system.
Mifare card encoding
(including DESfire)
Mifare card technology makes it possible
to use a single card for a variety of pur-
poses, including unlocking doors and
paying for goods and services. Complete
Mifare card encoding and profile configu-
ration is a unique feature of SiPass inte-
grated. The system supports the encod-
ing of both 1K and 4K Mifare cards, as
well as Mifare DESfire cards.
DVR application programming
interface (API)
This interface allows two-way high-level
communications to be established be-
tween the SiPass integrated system and
almost any DVR unit. Many DVR manage-
ment features are available, such as live
image viewing, event-activated record-
ing, image verification, and full PTZ cam-
era movement.
