Johnson Controls introduces C•CURE IQ Security Client

C•CURE IQ Security Client combines enterprise access control and video surveillance in what is a single and intuitive interface.

“The global security market is undergoing significant transformations led by customer needs for modernisation and optimisation of their security hardware and software,” explained Sanjeev Singh, vice-president of product management at Johnson Controls. “As part of this evolution, we’re particularly excited to release C•CURE IQ, which is the natural extension of C•CURE 9000, as a web-based offering which now includes video surveillance capability. Its web-based security client is critical for the growing needs around ‘anytime, anywhere’ access to enterprise security operations.”

C•CURE IQ Security Client boasts an extensive feature set designed to create a complete streamlined end-to-end solution from software and controllers to recorders and cameras. As stated, C•CURE IQ is the evolution of C•CURE 9000, leveraging its powerful access control features to meet today’s challenging compliance needs and supported by Johnson Controls’ iSTAR Controllers, themselves known for their reliability and cyber security.

Flexibility in deployment

C•CURE IQ Security Client is designed for the web to simplify installations, offering flexibility in deployments and personalisation of the overall user experience. With this approach, end users can take advantage of several benefits.

Minimal training is needed thanks to a streamlined and intuitive icon-driven user interface on a tablet, where operators only see what they need. There are pre-configured or custom user interface layouts, tailored specifically to staff roles and responsibilities.

Enhanced authentication options are also available, duly leveraging an external OAuth2-compliant identity provider for single sign-on or two-factor authentication, thereby negating the need to remember additional usernames and passwords. Further, there are flexible deployment options for cloud, on-premises or hybrid.

C•CURE IQ Security Client offers natural video surveillance and intuitive camera control with no extra integration licensing. High-quality native video support is standard with 4K live streaming and playback for proactive response, optimised for the enterprise VideoEdge network video recorders.

Video search capabilities

Advanced object-based video search capabilities quickly search and find video when you need it, powered by Johnson Controls’ Illustra Artificial Intelligence technology. Enhanced badge verifications with live and recorded video of door activity for visual verification from afar is a further feature.

“C•CURE IQ v3.00.1 is the future of enterprise Security Operations Centres and signifies the most robust and feature-rich web offering that can help customers transition from silo systems to a unified security software platform,” concluded Singh. “Its powerful web UI supports everyday device interactions as part of an holistic security operation.”
