Setup
|
1. Log in to your ProdataKey account and navigate to the integrations section under settings. From here, you'll need to enable the Rhombus integration using the tile below. Note: Only users with the integrator role will be able to enable the tile. |
|
2. Collect your System ID in Settings section seen below. |
|
3. Login to the Rhombus Console. |
|
4. Go to Settings > Third Party Integrations > Badge Systems > PDK |
|
|
|
5. Enter your ProdataKey System ID collected from Step 2. |
| 6. Enable the integration, adjust your settings, and click save to link the two systems together. |
You can then associate any camera with a badge reader and select the events you want to be recorded automatically.
Capturing Events and Reviewing Footage from Badge Entries
With the ProdataKey integration, Rhombus is automatically configured to capture the following events:
- When someone enters with a badge
- When a face does not match the badge used
By combining Rhombus security cameras with ProdataKey’s technology, organizations can improve their access control experience, eliminate abuse from outside parties, and verify who is entering their space at a given time.
In the Rhombus Console - motion, people, and vehicle events are automatically created and indexed in the timeline. This feature saves customers hours of investigative work every day and allows them to pinpoint and find specific events without having to manually rewind or fast forward through footage.
This event indexing is also carried over with the ProdataKey integration. All ProdataKey events and activities are automatically indexed so that you can filter or skip to a particular event, allowing you quickly investigate and secure entry points.
This integration also combines the badge information from ProdataKey and connects it to names and faces. This ensures that you no longer have to manually review video footage and identify if the correct face is using the correct badge.
Now with Rhombus, the system will automatically learn people’s faces based on their badge and verify that the correct person is entering your building.
Stop Alarm Monitoring with Badge Entry
Rhombus supports disabling Alarm Monitoring with an authorized badge entry when using the PDK Access Control integration.
Note: PDK does not send remote unlock events to disarm. Disarming alarm monitoring will only work for in-person badge events.
Console Setup
If monitoring is on manual mode: disarms until user manually re-arms.
If monitoring is on scheduled mode: disarms until user manually re-arms or the schedule indicates monitoring should start.
| 1. Navigate to “Settings,” then select “Third-Party Integrations.” |
|
|
| 2. Under the “Badge Systems” dropdown, select “PDK.” |
|
|
| 3. Under “Configure Devices,” ensure you associate cameras from the same location as the PDK device. |
| 4. Next, navigate to “Locations” and select the corresponding location that was associated with the PDK integration. |
|
|
| 5. Click the “Alarm Monitoring” tab. |
|
6. Under the “Alarm Central” section, toggle on “Stop Monitoring With Authorized Badge Entry.” Note: If turned on, any authorized badge entry will stop monitoring. If monitoring is on a schedule, it will turn back on at the next scheduled start time. Monitoring may be manually started at any time. |
