Commend receives Lenel Factory Certification under Lenel’s OpenAccess Alliance Program

Commend announced today that it has joined the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program and received Factory Certification for the current versions of the interface between its security communication systems and the Lenel OnGuard access control solution.

The Commend security and communication systems interface with the OnGuard® platform and support the following value-adding features for OnGuard system users:

• Incoming Intercom calls are indicated directly within the OnGuard “Alarm Monitoring” application
• Calls and conversations are displayed as alarm pairing, making them clearly visible while requiring little space in the Alarm Monitoring window
• A smart connection allows for the signal of multiple observation cameras to be displayed each time an Intercom call is triggered
• Permanent monitoring of the logical connection between OnGuard and the Commend servers ensures reliability
• Continuous end-to-end monitoring of the call lines support stable Intercom connections throughout
• Designed for ultimate user convenience, the bi-directional user interface allows for placing calls to Intercom stations with a simple mouse click

“Commend’s communication functionality is a great addition to the OnGuard security platform.
 End users can control the entire system using only a few simple mouse clicks,” says Ross McKay, Director, Product Management, Access Control Solutions, Lenel. “We are looking forward to Commend’s continued involvement in the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program.”
