The Lock on Intelligence


CyberLock®

CyberLock-an innovative lock system that easily converts existing mechanical locks into an access control system. With electronic lock cylinders, programmable CyberKeys, and CyberAudit software, you can create a powerful system to track and control access to every lock in your facility.

   

    
How does it work?

CyberLock electronic cylinders replace standard mechanical cylinders.
Each CyberLock cylinder is an electronic version of a standard mechanical lock cylinder. Installing the cylinder into the lock hardware is as simple as removing the existing mechanical cylinder and replacing it with the CyberLock cylinder.

No wiring or battery is required at the lock.
The lock installs without wiring of any kind, and does not contain a battery. The power required to open a lock comes from the battery in the key. CyberKeys use a 3-volt lithium battery, easily replaceable in the field.

CyberLocks cannot be picked.
CyberLocks have no keyway, and cannot be picked like a mechanical lock. Dirt and moisture will not interfere with the operation of the cylinder. CyberLocks resist forced rotation, and are designed to remain in the locked position if tampered with.

 CyberKeys cannot be duplicated.
It's not possible to create a duplicate of a CyberKey. Passwords in the software and hardware are unique to each installation, and protect against creation of unauthorized keys. And, although two keys in the system can be programmed alike, each one will make its own unique record of events in the software.

 Each key contains a list of locks it can open, with days and times.
The CyberKeys are programmed with the access privileges for each user. A standard key holds a list of up to 1250 locks the user can open, with the schedule of days and times they are allowed in.

Keys can be assigned a begin date and an expiration date.
This means keys can be issued before they begin working, and can be set to expire at a particular time in the future. Setting short-term expiration dates on keys is an excellent way to minimize risk due to lost or misplaced keys.

 A record of all events is stored in both the locks and the keys.
Each time a key is used at a lock, a record of the lock ID, date, and time is stored in the key, and a record of the key ID, date, and time is stored in the lock. The key stores up to 1150 of the most recent access events, and the lock stores the most recent 1100 access events. Locks and keys also record when an unauthorized person attempted to open the lock.



 

  One Key . . . Many Locks

One key opens doorways, padlocks, cabinets, safes, vending machines, and more!
The complete line of cylinders allows controlling access to much more than just doorways. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the durable CyberLock tracks and controls access to padlocked gates, safes, cash drawers, server cabinets, fare boxes, freight trucks, and vending machines . . .

 

    Cylinders for Doorways
Enter the world of CyberLock through the front door! Videx cylinders for doorways are the first place most people begin. The cylinder cannot be picked, provides an audit trail of activity, and requires no wiring. You can retrofit knob or lever locks that require Schlage 6-pin and Yale 6- or 7-pin format cylinders. Other door hardware options include rim and mortise cylinders in a variety of sizes and finishes.

 
    IC Cylinders
Whether in a door application or providing access to a cabinet, the CyberLock Interchangeable Core cylinder is a powerful product. CyberLock IC cores come in a variety of formats, and are a great solution for commercial applications.

 
    Cylinders for Cabinets
Cabinets, boxes, containers, and display cases all call for cam locks. Videx offers a standard cam, a cam with unique directional action, and a cam with a hook latch. The CyberLock hook latch cam was originally designed for fare boxes on busses and light rail cars. Cam locks are found on jewelry display cases, file cabinets, medical cabinets, and server cabinets. No wiring required and full access control provided!

 
    Cylinders for Specialty & Custom Applications
Videx recognizes and appreciates that requests for CyberLock access control solutions span the globe! Whether a Japanese Miwa, an Australian oval, or a cylinder for a South African payphone, we enjoy the challenge of manufacturing the locks you require: from switch locks for elevators, to removable plug locks for ticket vending machines, to variations on standard locks.

 
    Cylinders for Padlocks
One of the most useful and amazing applications for CyberLock is in a padlock! Now you have an intelligent padlock to control access to your meters, control boxes, and outside gates. Videx manufactures a water-resistant cylinder designed specifically for padlocks. It resists corrosion, and holds up under rough treatment. The same key that opens the front door of your office now opens the padlock on your delivery truck or back gate.

 
    Cylinders for Vending Machines
CyberLock offers complete access control for your vending machines, providing a full audit trail of all activity. Everyone is accountable, every dime is accounted for! Whether you install CyberLock vending cylinders on one troublesome route, or on all your machines, you're in control.

 
    Cylinders for European Export
Videx manufactures several cylinders for export to Europe, where countries have unique security requirements and a wide variety of lock styles. To meet those needs, Videx builds a European double profile, a profile with a knob, a variety of half-profile cylinders in various lengths, and an oval cylinder.

 
    CyberLock Safe Locks
Imagine it - all the functionality of CyberLock applied to a safe! Locks can be programmed for time delay, or to require more than one key before opening. Of course, all your favorite CyberLock features are standard: audit trail, personalized access schedules, and no external wiring. Better still, a CyberLock safe lock application can be stand-alone, or can be part of a complete, facility-wide installation. We know that your safe lock needs may require 24/7 support, so we have approved partners who commit to providing this service. Contact Videx for a referral to an approved CyberLock safe lock partner.

 
    CyberPoint for Security Guard Rounds
The installation of CyberPoints provides you with a ready-made security guard tour solution, and increases the value of your existing CyberLock system. As with CyberLock cylinders, no wiring is required. CyberPoints are easily installed into walls, gates, doorways, or posts along a guard route. The guard, walking with a CyberKey in hand, simply touches the CyberPoint to indicate where he stopped along his tour. He can also use the key to open doors, if needed.


 

CyberKey® Authorizer™

Entry Authorization On Demand
CyberKey Authorizer enhances CyberLock systems by providing the ability to program and download CyberKeys at remote locations. Authorizer adds two primary benefits to a standard CyberLock system:
 
   

With CyberKey Authorizer, users can update their keys without returning to where the host computer is located.
For large installations, Authorizer provides a way to communicate with keys over a wide area, and still manage the system from one central computer. Authorizer consists of two parts: the hub and the keyport. The Authorizer hub connects to the host computer either via Ethernet or via its built-in modem. In network installations, the hub and the database synchronize every few minutes. In modem installations, the hub receives instructions from the host computer on a regular basis, and stores these instructions in memory. The Authorizer hub connects to one or two keyports. Keyports can be installed wherever it is convenient for CyberKey users, indoors or outdoors. Keyports consist of a CyberKey connection, a numeric keypad, and a display. Each time a user inserts a key into the keyport and enters a PIN, the program information in the key is updated and the log of events is transferred to the computer via the hub.

CyberKey Authorizer - convenience for the users

Authorizer makes it easy to manage frequent key expirations, for a high degree of key control.
Lost keys occur frequently, and pose a security risk for any facility. CyberKeys, unlike mechanical keys, can be set to expire at a particular time. If a key is lost at 11:00 on Friday morning, but expires at 5:00 that afternoon, the potential risk is greatly reduced.

But how can a system be set up to be friendly for the users, and still provide the control needed?

Authorizer provides an easy way to expire keys frequently: weekly, daily, hourly, or even by the minute. And, once the system is set up, the software manages expirations automatically. Each time a user presents the key to the Authorizer for updating, a new expiration date is automatically set in the key.

 
CyberKey Authorizer - peace of mind for the security administrator

 


 


CyberAudit Software -- Powerful!
