GE Facility Commander™ Wnx is now UTC Fire & Security. Facility Commander Wnx offers powerful, easy-to-use, IT-friendly, integrated security management under the familiar Microsoft Windows® operating environment. It is a complete end-to-end solution for today’s most commonly deployed physical security applications; providing real-time monitoring, command and control, automation, database administration and report management in a single unified system.

Ideally suited for organizations seeking to self-monitor and manage security operations over their IT network infrastructure, Facility Commander Wnx seamlessly integrates access control, photo identification and credentialing, digital video surveillance, alarm monitoring, intrusion detection and visitor management. Through platform standardization and event-driven automation, this powerful solution helps businesses increase security effectiveness, reduce risks and eliminate the hidden costs associated with operating non-integrated security, facilities and business systems.

The DirecDoor controller from GE Security is the industry’s only 2-reader and 2-door Power over Ethernet (PoE) IP-connected access controller. DirecDoor integrates with GE’s Facility Commander WNX, Secure Perfect, and Picture Perfect access control and integrated security management software. It can utilize PoE or can be powered by a local power supply. It can even power the lock hardware in its PoE configuration. Its simple plug-in installation significantly reduces labor costs and allows new doors to be efficiently controlled using on-line access systems.

The DirecDoor controller is located on the secure side of the door, thereby providing a much better IP solution than an IP reader. Unlike a less secure IP reader solution, whose Ethernet port, card database and access to the door strike relay lie outside the protected area, the DirecDoor controller significantly reduces the possibility that security could be compromised.

GE Transition™ Series multi-technology access readers now includes a full line of PIV-compliant readers.

Transition Series readers feature simultaneous compatibility with multi-vendor credential technologies—GE and HID® 125 kHz Proximity, HID Corporate 1000® Proximity, 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technologies for MIFARE® Card Serial Number (ISO 14443A), MIFARE/DESFire Card Serial Number, and Vicinity Card Serial Number (ISO 15693), including HID iCLASS® Card Serial Number—all in one reader. With this remarkable technology combination, security administrators can now deploy the Transition readers into existing or new facilities or systems—continuing to serve existing card-carrying users while migrating to the latest in security and smart card technology advancements.
