Key Cabinet Keeps Audit Trail & Charges Keys

Videx Inc. announced the CyberKey Vault 20 FX, which features a new look with weatherized input modules and an embedded Flex System Hub. The Vault 20 FX is an intelligent key cabinet designed to manage, program and dispense CyberKey smart keys. Un-programmed keys are locked securely in the cabinet until an RFID card or PIN code is presented to the cabinet. The CyberKey Vault programs a key with access privileges for each user, detailing which electronic locks it can open and when. An audit record of all events is stored in both the locks and the keys. Each time a key is used, a record of the lock ID, date and time is stored in the key and the lock. CyberKeys feature a unique electronic ID, preventing duplication. Although two keys can be programmed alike, each leaves its own unique record within the system. When the key is returned to the Vault, the Vault downloads the key’s audit trail, removes its permissions, and begins charging the key.
