Matrix Systems of Dayton, Ohio, has released its Frontier 2010 access control software, which features built-in interfaces for both Schlage and Videx CyberLock wireless hardware. The software is a comprehensive and scalable security solution that provides real-time monitoring of access doors and alarm points for local and remote locations. The latest version offers built-in interfaces for Schlage wireless lock solutions, which can be installed five to 10 times faster than wired lock alternatives. The built-in interface for Cy­ber­­Lock electronic lock cylinders allows the CyberLock to record access events via the Frontier software. A wizard-based import-export capability allows users to customize data formatting, data fields, and the amount of data transferred. The new software allows users to import background images and combine them with CAD and custom-drawn images that can be edited within the software.

The ER-W24 wall-mounted equipment rack from Video Mount Products of Stev­ens­ville, Maryland, accommodates security equipment without using floor space. The rack is designed so that the installer can mount the wall plate and arrange equipment in the rack before mounting the rack on the wall. The EIA-compliant rack offers 13 rack spaces with a usable depth of 19 inches and a load capacity of 100 pounds. The steel and aluminum construction is finished with a black static-resistant powder coat. It is designed to open from either the left or the right side.

The new MPro 120 PocketProjector from 3M of St. Paul, Minnesota, uses LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors of Regensburg, Germany. The micro projector can be connected to laptops, mobile phones, and cameras so users can project photos or videos on a wall. Depending on lighting conditions, the cell-phone-sized unit can project images of more than a meter, measured diagonally. Use of multichip LEDs makes the projector very efficient and provides excellent color reproduction. Low energy consumption conserves the battery and ensures longer operating times. The projectors offer full VGA resolution, market-leading brightness, and integrated speakers.
