What We Do
Hosted Access Control Database Services
Cloud-based access control by Point Monitor Corporation.
Our premium level of access control is Hattrix. They are built on the Kantech line of door controllers and card readers. We have identified the largest pain point areas of traditional access control systems and have developed solutions to mitigate them.
Hattrix is both high technology and flexibility built into both software and service. You can control everything from a mobile app or web station with automated feedback reports and alerts. Our Point Monitor managed service tracks every change made to any part of your database and is performed by one of our trained professionals.
What is Hattrix?
Hattrix is Point Monitor’s premium level of access control. Our cloud-based access control platform is built on the Kantech line of door controllers and card readers. Point Monitor has identified the biggest pain points of traditional access control systems and has been able to mitigate most, in some cases all, of those through the Hattrix platform. Hattrix is both software and service. Our software gives you control from a mobile app or web station, but it also gives feedback through automated reports and alerts. With our managed service, every change that is made to any part of your database is done by one of our trained professionals.
With our hosted service, you’ll have no more:
- No more driving to the office to unlock a door
- No more costly server maintenance
- No more database backup uncertainties
- No SSL certificates
- No Complicated software
- No service calls to retrain new hires
- Never pay for software updates!
PLUS, with our managed service, you’ll have no more:
- No payroll devoted to cardholder changes
- No trying to remember how to change a cardholder, schedule,
holiday, or access level.
What can I do with the mobile app?
- Lock and unlock doors in real-time
- Add cardholders
- Add access levels
- Add schedules
- View real-time event activity
- Control relays
- Arm and disarm your intrusion system
- View open zones on your intrusion system
- View cameras on your network video recorder
- Generate a variety of activity reports
Q: If my internet goes down, will the cards stop working?
A: No. All of our Kantech door controllers maintain a working database and will revert to a fully operational standalone mode based on the latest database received by the Hattrix server.
Q: I already have a Kantech system, and everything works fine. Do I need Hattrix?
A: You may want to still consider Hattrix! Can you answer the following questions about your access control server?
- Is your current operating system up to date?
- Is the antivirus current?
- Is your security software current?
- How often are you running backups?
- View real-time event activity.
- Where are you sending those backups once they are done?
- Are there users in your cardholder database who no longer work for you?
- Are you tracking access-denied events? What about “door held open” or “door forced open” events?
- Are you monitoring the health of your door controllers?
If you answered "no" to any of the above, your access control system could be at risk. Hattrix can prevent costly emergency service calls due to system crashes or controller failures, but it can also provide email notifications for a myriad of access-denied and other intrusion events. Best of all, you have peace of mind knowing your database is managed by professionals with triple-redundant database backup and proactive event monitoring. This enables you to focus on your job more.
