What Happened at Your Key Cabinet Overnight? iOptix Tells You.

What Happened at Your Key Cabinet Overnight? iOptix Tells You.

How iOptix and iLot Reporting tell you what happened at the cabinet while you were away.

Police departments and government agencies use iSafe key management systems to control the keys to patrol vehicles, equipment, facilities, and evidence rooms. iOptix is the monitoring that watches the cabinet itself, around the clock, including the hours a facility is closed.

‍

24/7 Monitoring on Any iSafe

iOptix is 1Micro's accelerometer-based monitoring for iSafe key systems, and it works on any model, from a Pro cabinet holding hundreds or thousands of keys to a Lite or SOLO at a smaller site. It tracks how the cabinet is being handled, including its G-force levels, during business hours and after them. Any time the handling goes past a threshold you set, such as a drawer being slammed, iOptix records it.

An average iSafe weighs 600 pounds, and every drawer latch is rated to withstand up to 3,500 pounds of pressure. iOptix adds the alert that tells you when someone moves the cabinet or tampers with it. Heavy-duty hardware, monitored 24/7.

‍

You Set the Thresholds

You set a G-force threshold and a rotation threshold on each cabinet. When something passes either number, such as a slammed drawer or a possible break-in, the event is recorded in the Accelerometer Activity Report.

An email goes to you or your team at the same time. It includes a 4K image of the individual who passed the threshold, so you can see who it was without going to the cabinet.

‍

After Hours, Any Activity Is the Alert

iSafeWatch is the after-hours side of iOptix. You enter your closed hours, and during them the threshold is no activity at all. If anything happens on the cabinet in that window, an alarm sounds and you're notified with pictures.

For a facility that closes at night or on weekends, that means the cabinet holding vehicle, equipment, or evidence keys is monitored for the entire closed period. With iOptix, you don't have to be near the cabinet to know what's happening to it.

‍

Alerts When a Critical Key Is Accessed

iOptix alerts you when something happens to the cabinet. iSafe's alerts and notifications do the same when something happens with a specific key. You can set up instant email and text alerts that go out any time a high-value asset or vehicle key is accessed. If the key to a particular vehicle, evidence room, or restricted building matters more than the rest, you can be told every time it's accessed.

You can also schedule emailed reports to your managers on a daily basis, so the audit trail of who accessed which keys arrives in their inbox without anyone running it by hand.

‍

Break-Ins and Rough Handling

iOptix is built with break-ins in mind, and it covers anyone who handles the cabinet. The same thresholds that flag a forced drawer also record someone who slams a drawer or handles the cabinet roughly, and the 4K image attached to the alert shows who it was. That gives a supervisor a time, a threshold that was exceeded, and a picture, instead of a suspicion.

‍

Know Before the Morning Shift Walks In

Without monitoring, the first person through the door finds out about a forced drawer or a moved cabinet by seeing it. With iOptix, the email with the time and the image is already waiting. Your keys are in the cabinet around the clock, and so is the monitoring.
