Xtag Tagging System Features - Personnel / Asset tagging.

Fully Supervised
Xtag system continually monitors the activity and status of all active tags. Each tag emits a regular "presence" signal every 1.4 seconds to indicate that it is OK.

Personnel with a tag simply by walking into a building will automatically be shown as present and ID information will be displayed at reception desk pc without the person breaking stride or being aware of it.

Visitors can be controlled or simply tag a book and it cannot leave the room.

Confidence Is Built In
Xtag was designed to minimize maintenance and provide unprecedented reliability. Long range readers ensure full coverage, whilst adjustable short range readers provide "last seen" locations. In addition, the system’s design minimizes susceptibility to interference from other electronic and radio frequency equipment. This eliminates problems caused by external radio equipment.

Tamper Proof Asset Solution
A miniature switch is incorporated within all Xtag asset tags which detects any attempt to remove the tag from the asset on the long range receiver network, any attempt to disable the tag results in a security alert.

Identification by RFID
Each Xtag active tag has a unique RFID number, this enables the system to identify each person or asset, displaying them by name for ease in administration.

Eliminates Tailgate Exits
A "tailgate exit" is the name given to a condition which occurs frequently with conventional access control solutions, it simply means that a person went through a door opened by another persons ID badge therefore the system has no record of the event.

Because Xtag monitors all tags constantly it would still know how many personnel or assets were present, updating administrator software or operating security protocols (alarms e.t.c.)

Personnel Friendly
The Xtag active ID cards are designed to be worn by staff using lanyards or conference badge clips, the badge is the same shape and size as a credit card which allows third party printers and consumables to be used to produce unique company logos and photographic ID as required.

The Xtag has no moving parts, increasing reliability and cleanliness.

Expandable
Xtag systems were designed to allow a premises to implement the system needed today, while having the ability to seamlessly expand in the future as needs grow.

LAN/WAN Compatible
The Xtag System supports multiple PCs, connected over a Local Area Network or Wide Area Network. Security personnel and administrators can all access the system simultaneously.

Different levels of password access ensure security while allowing staff members to perform their jobs efficiently.

Time and Date Record of Activity
The Xtag Pro software records and logs all activity data with time and date information. In a properly configured system the entire history, should a problem occur, is recorded in detail.

Authorized movements, like the transport of assets or to personnel, can also be time and date stamped.
For example, administrators could determine that John Smith left the building on 11th August at 16:43 p.m., and that under his password authorization, he took with him asset "Laptop 23" which he returned with at at 9:45 a.m on 14th August.

The system automatically records the identity of the staff member who signed out the asset. The amount of activity data stored is user configurable and largely dependent on the computer’s hard drive storage space. Weeks, months and years of activity can be stored.

Data can be backed up to conventional mediums such as tape and disc. Xtag uses an industry standard database with sort and filtering capability. Data can be displayed on-screen and printed or exported into other Microsoft compatible data software for maximum flexibility

Does not Interfere with Other Electrical Equipment
The Xtag active tag and reader is fully approved and does not interfere with the operation of other electrical or personal equipment.

Microsoft® Windows® Based
The Xtag Pro Software uses the Windows® operating system, creating a familiar environment for users. This platform also provides the system with exceptional flexibility, allowing it to be configured according the specific needs of an organisation. Compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP

Low-Battery Alert Feature
Xtag continuously monitors the battery level of all active tags. If battery power falls below a certain threshold, the system automatically generates an alert to indicate that the battery is aging.

The system can be configured to generate alarms if:
• The tag is detected in an unauthorised area.
• Someone tries to exit through a protected doorway with an asset without authorization.
• The asset tag is interfered with or removed.
• An authorized exit has occurred and someone tries to "tail gate" through the protected exit without authorisation.
• The battery power in the tag has become low.
