Continental Access – COVID-19 TECH TIP for disabling badges and disabling Free Access on doors

Posted on March 25, 2020 by mkelly

To All Our Valued Partners,

During this COVID-19 crisis, many companies are forced to close the business and furlough workers. During this time, you may wish to disable employees’ badges and prevent doors from going into Free Access.

In the Continental software, there are multiple methods of doing this. On a very small system, the quickest method might be to manually set the Badgeholders Access groups to “Not Used”. In addition, to prevent doors from going into Free Access, you can set the Free Access schedules under Readers to “Not Used”.  On larger systems, a few other methods are outlined below.

LOCKDOWN AREAS – In the Continental software, lockdown areas can be configured to lock down a group of doors. The group of doors can contain all exterior doors in one or multiple buildings.

THREAT LEVELS – In the Continental software, you can configure Threat levels. When the Threat Level is activated, badges will be not be authorized to enter the building. In addition, any doors that were in Free Access will be locked down.

SCHEDULED CHANGES – Scheduled changes can be programmed to swap in different schedules on devices for a specific Date and time range. For instance, if you have a Free Access Schedule used on a door, you can create a schedule change to swap in “Not Used” for the Free Access schedule for the time frame needed.

Note: For assistance configuring the features above, please refer to the Continental Document library and the Continental Video Library. There is a video on configuring Lockdown areas and Threat Levels in the CA4K software.  Please refer to the links below.

Continental Access – Coronavirus Notification

Posted on March 16, 2020 by mkelly

March 16, 2020

Coronavirus Notification

To All Our Valued Partners,

 It is with our sincerest hopes that every one of our partners and their loved ones are safe and secure during these most trying time for our nation, communities and our security industry.  With more uncertainty ahead, we at Napco and Continental Access want you to know that we plan to be here to do what we can to help you through these times but want to make sure each of you are aware that there are product shortages already within our industry.  At Continental and Napco, we have a healthy supply of products in inventory to get us through these historic times.  Our concern is that with shortages from other suppliers, our product could be in far greater demand and could reduce our stock levels quickly.

 

Please be advised that due to supply chain uncertainties within the Security Industry, NAPCO/Continental Access will be honoring product orders based on a first come, first served basis.  It is strongly advised that you anticipate your product needs based on future possible supply chain availability.  Increased demand for NAPCO/Continental Access products based on competitive supply chain issues could cause competitive sourcing problems.  Specifically, please focus your orders on high moving SKU’s to ensure availability, including third party SKU’s, such as readers and credentials which are currently in stock with the most in-demand items. 

In order to accommodate increased inventory requirements, NAPCO/Continental Access will be offering additional extended terms for incremental stocking orders.

Thank You for being a valued customer.
