LockView 5Pro | LockView 5




LockView 5/5Pro is for use with 300, 200 and 150 series eLocks only. LockView 5Pro is easy to use, with many programmable options, and can be used to update all eLocks through a facility's existing Wi-Fi or Ethernet infrastructure (300 Series). LockView provides a comprehensive audit trail of access attempts and allows programmable time-based restrictions.

LockView 5/5Pro is used with any 300, 200 Series or 150 Series eLocks; cabinet or refrigerator / freezer, networked or non-networked. Administrators can establish a database of users and a database of eLocks, manage temperature monitoring data, view audit trail logs, alarming parameters, and notification alerts.

Since LockView can be used on a network (300 Series eLocks) or without network connectivity (200/150 Series eLocks), the following flow chart can serve as a guide to help determine which set up is best.

LockView 5Pro network features

The network function allows two-way (300 Series eLock and LockView 5Pro) communication on existing network systems either by 802.11g wireless or Ethernet connection; proprietary access points, repeaters or other infrastructure alterations are not required. The transmission of eLock access data (audit trail) and temperature logs occurs wirelessly from the eLock to a facility’s wireless access point (i.e. router) or by Ethernet connection, where the information is then delivered to the network server.

LockServ, a module of LockView 5Pro software, resides on the network and directs information from the server to LockView for processing. Information from LockView to the eLock will follow the reverse path, while utilizing familiar security encryption methods; WEP 64-key, WEP 128-key, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES) and other enterprise-class wireless security. An average data transfer of four (4) user changes and twenty-five (25) audit trail events is around 20 KB. As a means of comparison, this is equal to the size of a small email message. All programming performed at a specific eLock will be “pushed” to LockView either at its next network log in time or can be manually pushed by pressing the Network button on the eLock.

The Logging Frequency feature allows the administrator to set how often the CompX eLock records temperatures when in range and when out of range.

The notification system sends temperature out of range, low battery, failure of network check in and door switch alerts sent by SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) or SMS (short message service). These alerts will be sent to a list of responders. If the first level responders fail to clear the alert, then that alert escalates to second level and ultimately to a third. The administrator can set up responders to receive certain types of alerts. For example, a temperature out of limits alert can be sent to pharmacy personnel and low battery alerts can be sent to facilities personnel. All alerts will prompt the administrator if they would like to enter a note for a specific alert. Each note will document what action was taken as a result of the alert; an out of temperature range note will become part of the temperature log.

To assist the administrator with managing all the data eLock and LockView 5Pro produce, eReports can be set up to automatically create and send both audit trail and temperature data reports to a list of email addresses on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. LockView retrieves up to 500,000 temperature data points and provides programmable charts, graphs and reports, as well as comprehensive audit trail of the last 15,000 access attempts - including date, time and user name. Standard temperature monitoring is 100°C to -40°C, and to -100°C with the ultra-low temp version.

The Compliance Dashboard is another helpful feature within LockView. The dashboard provides the administrator a current and historical quick look at temperature (if equipped), door ajar and unauthorized entry (if equipped), network status and battery level of all eLocks on the network.

Additional features of LockView 5Pro include:

  • LockView Wizard, assists user with creation of databases and connection to eLocks
  • Time based restrictions for access control, individual or group
  • Dual Credential requires two different credentials to gain access – i.e. card and PIN
  • Alarm volume settings

Minimum System Requirements

  • Windows XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003/2008
  • 2GB RAM - Pentium III 1.0 GHz or higher (4GB recommended)
  • 2GB Hard drive space
  • 64bit Compatible
  • SQL Server or SQL Express 2005/2008
  • (ODBC connection required to Server)
  • Client/Server require local administrator rights

LockView 5 non-network features

LockView 5 works on 200 and 150 Series eLocks, which are not network capable. It is important to note that LockView 5 can be used seamlessly with any 200 or 150 Series eLocks. The difference with using LockView 5 vs. 5Pro on 150/200 Series eLocks is that ALL communication with eLocks must be done with LockView 5 installed on a laptop. The laptop must then be brought to each eLock for downloading and uploading of temperature logs (if equipped), access audit trails, user changes, eLock changes and access rights changes. Software kit includes USB drive.

LockView retrieves up to 500,000 temperature data points and provides programmable charts, graphs and reports, as well as comprehensive audit trail of the last 15,000 access attempts - including date, time and user name (200 series only). Standard temperature monitoring is 100°C to -40°C, and to -100°C with the ultra-low temp version. Manual programming performed at a specific eLock will be downloaded to LockView when connected.

The administrator can program how often the CompX eLock records temperatures when in range and when out of range (if equipped), program local alarm settings for temperature out-of-range, low battery, failure of network check in and door switch alerts.

All alerts will be downloaded on upon connection of an eLock to LockView where it will prompt the administrator if they would like to enter a note for a specific alert. Each note will document what action was taken as a result of the alert; an out of temperature range note will become part of the temperature log.
