EM (Electromagnetic) cabinet and EM door locks are available for purchase specifically made for data centers or server rooms housing their servers in cabinets. The lock system includes an external lock override switch which is mandatory for the access control system. The external lock override switch is both water and tamper proof.
The cabinet control unit comes in a package which includes an EM cabinet lock, EM card reader both of which integrate into the base unit to switch the lock when a card is read. A biometric reader can also be integrated into the system for superior security for your data center, server room, or facility.
For added administrative control, managers remotely modify access settings for temporary permissions with the dual-layer authentication. If an engineer or maintenance must perform work in sensitive areas like the data center or server room, remote settings can be made to keep track of when personnel entered and exited the room.

Surveillance cameras included into a security system makes for superior security. Time-stamped surveillance cameras can archive video surveillance for historical records. Integrate up to four surveillance cameras into the securityProbe 5ESV. The web interface allows managers to observe live video feed from their surveillance cameras. Set up security cameras to observe maintenance on servers in the data center and viewing doors to discourage non-permission entry.
Data Center Server Management Software
With the new server management software, managers can remote control their security system for their specific needs. Managers have greater control over adjusting settings that give members access in specific areas of the facility like data centers or server rooms. Managers can set up when employees have access to the data center like allowing no access after business hours or on weekends.
Managers can oversee surveillance, adjust notifications in remote sites, use iPhone applications to view security and environmental monitoring systems anywhere and receive notifications.
With the new advances in security monitoring, it is easier than ever for management to have greater control over their data centers, server rooms, warehouses, or any remote site in the world. Don’t settle for antiquated methods in management.
