Honeywell recently announced it will launch a new generation intruder and access control panel MB-Secure, an open platform offering providing intruder and access control solutions. The basic components of the system include a hardware board running firmware allowing the required access control and security to be activated as required via license keys. This enables users to integrate and extend almost any function, from a simple extension of the intruder alarm system to the expansion into an integrated access control and video surveillance system, without the need to replace the main hardware. The system is also very scalable due to its modular structure. According to the company, users only have to buy the functionality they really need at a specific point in time as they can easily upgrade later making MB-Secure a cost effective solution. The main hardware is complemented by a newly designed and easy-to-use user interface.
