Cyberkey electronic single key security vault released from Videx
Corvallis, Or (USA)
Mechanical keys can be attached to the electronic key for safekeeping and use. The electronic key can be used to open electronic locks and the mechanical keys used to open mechanical locks at a facility. By extension, a company not only has control over who uses their mechanical keys but the vault reports when and to whom the mechanical keys were released and later returned to the vault.
The vault keeps management informed through the audit reports and alerts that are automatically sent to them. At the end of the work day, when the employee returns their electronic key to the vault, an audit report of their entire key activity, lock openings, including exceptions such as unauthorized attempts to enter is automatically sent to management. As soon as the vault reports back to management, the key's memory is cleared. It remains in an un-programmed state until another authorized employee presents the required RFID card.
