An access control system includes a mobile application executing on a mobile computing device rendering a graphical user interface (GUI), which presents available access points, which are prioritized based on predictions of the next access points to be engaged. These predictions are based on prioritized lists of access points associated with times of day, days of the week and/or locations. The prioritized lists are modified based on recently selected access points, authorization status, prescribed schedules and/or prescribed sequences of access points. A selection pane of the GUI includes graphical elements associated with the access points. Graphical elements associated with the access points predicted to be next engaged by the user are displayed near the top of the selection pane. An inferred location of the user, based on the predictions, is sent to a monitoring center in response to selecting a help request option.

System and method for facilitating access to access points in access control system

A testing system and method for a security system is disclosed. In one example, the testing system includes a mobile computing device carried by an operator such as a technician and a configuration server, the configuration server communicating with one or more of an intrusion detection subsystem, video surveillance subsystem, and/or access control subsystem and providing testing information to the mobile device. In one embodiment, the testing system provides configuration information to security devices within the subsystems, where the configuration information includes associations between the devices of the subsystems for executing testing upon the devices in the associations.

Method and apparatus for unified mobile application for installation of security products

A system and method for energy saving on access control products is disclosed. An access controller controls access control readers, which in turn enable access to a building and/or interior areas of the building. The access controller can identify the locations of the access control readers relative to the building, such as whether the access control readers are located on the perimeter of the building for controlling access to the building, or whether the access control readers are located within the building for controlling access to interior areas of the building. The access controller can then place one or more of the access control readers into a power saving state without compromising overall building security, such as placing interior access control readers into a power saving state when the building is assessed to be unoccupied.

System and method for energy saving on access control products

Disclosed is a system for a facility supporting an access controller, at least one ingress card reader and an auto-enrollment type controller including a front panel having a single button, a controller board, a terminal block for connecting at least the one ingress card reader to the auto-enrollment type controller board and to connect the auto-enrollment type controller to door locks, and a mounting plate, with the auto-enrollment type controller being configured by a user according to operational requirements of the facility by the user asserting the button for a defined period of time.
