We are happy to announce our
first major project in Spain using 24 outdoor card reader
stations with integrated VoIP intercom located throughout a
large campus under control of our AMWATCH system. Our newest
dealer, Nostracom, selected AMTEL solution over the others,
based on our XPIP panel that can work on their existing
LAN/WAN infrastructure. And with VoIP intercom capability,
they were able to provide centralized HELP support from an
existing control station on campus. A customized enclosure
provides the field installation package. As you may know, we
offer embedded intercom on our ticket machine and other
stations. Now we can also offer VoIP intercom option for all
our stations.

Understanding Time and Attendance Systems
Time
and Attendance systems automate the task of tracking the exact
working hours for employees so they are paid accurately and per the
guidelines posed by the authorities. Key goals of such a system are:
Collect data on In & Out times for
each employee
Account for special situations,
like overtime, holiday time, break time, etc.
Provide data in a special format so
programs for Payroll, etc can use it in an automated and
efficient format.
In the past, punch-clocks were the
standard device for Time & Attendance systems and buddy-punching
(where someone else punches in your card) was quite common. To
eliminate that practice, today most T&A terminals employ a
fingerprint ID device. Also, it is possible for the same T&A
terminal to control the access to the door also.
In addition to collecting data for the
payroll programs, the T&A terminal can also act as a general purpose
data collection terminal. A touch keypad on the terminal allows the
user to enter information like job# (for cost accounting purposes)
or customer # (for billing purposes), as the employee moves from one
project to the next during the day.
AMTEL T&A terminal has direct TCP/IP
connectivity, so it can be added on to the existing LAN
infrastructure in the building. It can be used as a simple T&A
terminal, or as a biometric Access Control Terminal (with
fingerprint + card or fingerprint + code control) or as a
combination T&A terminal / Access control Terminal / Data Collection
Terminal.
AMTEL integrates Video w/Parking in South America!
Working with our long-time dealer, SIPECA, AMTEL is
installing a parking control system using Central Cashiering
Operation with a “Video-Check” capability integrated in the
system. The key motivation is to reduce the chances of an
auto-theft from the parking garage. When the patron takes a
ticket, an embedded CCTV camera(s) take a photo of the
driver (and the vehicle, if needed) and store it in the
system with the proper ticket number. When the person brings
the ticket to pay for parking, the cashier can see the
picture of the driver to make sure that the person leaving
the garage is the same one who entered the garage. All the
entry lanes, central cashier stations and exit lanes are all
connected on the TCP/IP network and are in real time
communication over at high speeds. For
