Smart elevator, or how the elevator control system works

Posted on by Oleksandr

It turns out that elevators have their own history of movement, and it is not always under your control.

Modern elevator control systems are not just a comfortable option, but a full-fledged tool for controlling the movement of people between floors of a building, with functions to restrict access to certain floors only for authorized persons.

Imagine a residential complex or a business center where the owners want to know who is going up to a particular floor, have statistics on passenger traffic, and at the same time prevent unauthorized access. That’s where integrated solutions come in, controlling the operation of the cab based on keys, passes, or biometric data.

Smart elevator, or how the elevator control system works

From a business perspective, an elevator access control system means reducing security costs, increasing comfort for office occupants and employees, and eliminating accidental or unauthorized visits. The security aspect includes protection against intrusion into restricted areas, monitoring of critical floors (for example, with server rooms), and rapid response in emergency situations.

In essence, elevator systems involve the connection of hardware components with specialized software that collects data, allows you to manage transportation scenarios and analyze usage statistics.

U-PROX offers a proprietary solution that is easy to manage and scale depending on the needs of your facility:

  • Quick installation without complicated settings
    The system can be installed in a short time and does not require any special technical specifications.
  • Autonomous operation mode
    In case of loss of communication with the server, the elevator system continues to function without stopping.
  • Instant readiness to accept the next identifier
    After selecting the floor, the system immediately recognizes the next card or key fob.
  • Flexible configuration of access rights
    The administrator can assign each user access to one, several or even all floors.
  • Reliability and durability
    Components are designed for a long service life and can withstand active loads.
  • Low power consumption
    The system consumes from 8 to 42 W depending on the number of connected modules.
  • Real-time event monitoring
    Up-to-date information on all user actions is available, including confirmation of floor selection.
  • Remote control
    The operator can configure the system and monitor its status from anywhere with network access.

The integrated elevator system from U-PROX consists of four main components:

  • U-PROX IC E – intelligent elevator controller. It is designed to organize an access control system to the floors of the building.
  • U-PROX RM is a relay executive module of the U-PROX IC E elevator controller.
  • U-PROX WRS485 is a module for converting the Wiegand interface to RS-485 and vice versa, as well as for connecting Wiegand compatible readers to the elevator controller.
  • U-PROX SL Mini 2 is a universal reader with multi-format ID support.

Advantages of rapidly deployable perimeter security systems

Posted on by Oleksandr

How to effectively protect the territory without long-term installation and unnecessary costs? U-PROX rapidly deployable perimeter security systems are widely used for various temporary and mobile objects.

  • warehouses and logistics hubs – to prevent theft and unauthorized access
  • temporary infrastructure (exhibitions, fairs) – to ensure event security
  • private territory – as a temporary solution during construction or repair
  • remote facilities – agricultural plots, autonomous substations and bases
  • protection of operational groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – protection of field bases and warehouses.
Advantages of rapidly deployable perimeter security systems

Let’s take a closer look at how these systems allow you to effectively protect the territory of a construction site without long-term installation and unnecessary costs.

Construction sites often face the problems of theft, equipment damage, and perimeter violations.

U-PROX rapid deployment perimeter security systems help to solve these problems quickly and efficiently.

Minimal time spent on installation and maintenance helps to optimize your business budget, and the flexibility of the system makes it easy to adapt it to changes that occur at the site.

Advantages of rapidly deployable perimeter security systems

Perimeter security:

  • U-PROX PIR Outdoor motion detectors protect the perimeter by detecting motion at a distance of up to 15 meters. They distinguish between people and small objects, operate at temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C, and are not afraid of rain or snow.
  • U-PROX WDC magnetic contact sensors control the opening of containers with materials or tools.

Quick response to threats:

  • U-PROX Siren Outdoor sirens with sound signals up to 113 dB and LED indication immediately attract attention.
  • In the event of intrusion, the system automatically activates relays, for example, to trigger additional protective mechanisms.

Scalability and coverage of large areas:

  • The radio signal operates at distances up to 4800 meters, and U-PROX Extender repeaters guarantee stable communication even in difficult conditions.

Mobility and autonomy:

  • The U-PROX MPX LE central module controls all devices via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or 4G. Autonomous operation is ensured by built-in batteries with a long operating time (up to 36 hours).
Advantages of rapidly deployable perimeter security systems

As a result, U-PROX rapidly deployable perimeter security systems provide mobility, autonomy, and reliability in any environment. Сontact us to protect the perimeter of your facility today.

U-PROX security system now with a camera

Posted on by Oleksandr

Meet the new product that is already available for order – the U-PROX PIR Cam wireless motion detector.

If the detector is triggered, it will send one or a series of photos to assess the situation to the U-PROX Home mobile app and the central monitoring station of the security company. The photo will be sent only during an obvious alarm.

This detector also has the “pet immune” function, which means that it is not sensitive to the movement of animals weighing up to 20 kg and up to 1 m high.

Simple installation, easy addition to the new generation U-PROX MPX security system hub, and an unrivaled communication range with the hub allow you to find a good location in your space.

Clear photo verification of the alarm has the highest quality specifications:

  • motion detection range up to 12 m
  • photo resolution: 640×480, 320×240, 240×176 pixels
  • infrared illumination up to 8 meters for shooting in the dark and low light
  • photo transfer time up to 9 seconds.

It should also be noted that U-PROX PIR Cam uses intelligent algorithms to eliminate false alarms. This allows you to be sure that you receive notifications only in case of a real threat.

Choose the new U-PROX PIR Cam with photo verification, because clarity adds peace of mind and comfort to life!
