“The Cyberkey Vault 20 FX is our most advanced key control cabinet yet,” said James McGowan, VP of Sales and Marketing at Videx. “We built on the award winning original design and added extra durability and speed to meet the needs of today’s demanding end-users. We believe it will surpass market expectations.”

The Vault 20 FX is an intelligent key cabinet designed to manage, programme, and dispense Cyberkey smart keys. The keys are stored unprogrammed and locked securely in the cabinet until an RFID card and/or PIN code is presented to the cabinet. After reading the card and/or accepting the PIN, the Cyberkey Vault programmes a Cyberkey with the individual’s permissions. Keys are programmed with access privileges for each user, detailing which electronic locks it can open and when. An audit record of all events is stored in both the locks and the keys. Each time a key is used at a lock, a record of the lock ID, date, and time is stored in the key, and a record of the key ID, date, and time is stored in the lock.

Cyberkeys feature a unique electronic ID, preventing duplication. Although two keys can be programmed alike, each one leaves its own unique record within the system. When the key is returned to the Vault, the Vault downloads the key’s audit trail, removes its permissions, and begins charging the key.

Videx offers three robust smart key vaults: Cyberkey Vault 1, Cyberkey Vault 20 FX, and Cyberkey Vault WR.
