Re: Access control software

(my first post here, here's to hoping I've done it right)
We've got the Blackboard OneCard system (http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Transact/Overview.aspx)  here, and it's 
integrated into VideoInsight (http://www.video-insight.com/).  The integration between the two systems results in video 
data being tied to a card-swipe.  You see their ID picture along with the video, and can bring up their history of 
swipes and videoOf the various software pieces I evaluated, ONSSI and VideoInsight were the standouts and it was the 
integration of the card-swipe data that sealed the deal. It has been 'up' since 08 and working quite well for us.     
The real make-or-break in a system like this, in my opinion, is the reliability and throughput of your network, and the 
cameras/servers you choose.

I have much more detail about the system should you have further questions, feel free to ask me privately.
