product news Abus launches mechatronic Codeloxx Muhlhausen, Germany The recently launched Abus Mechatronic range of door cylinders use cutting edge electronic technology combined with mechanical cylinder security designed for total access control and convenience. The innovative Codeloxx cylinder range offers a combination of protection against intrusion, using either an up to 6 digit combination code, an encrypted electronic key, or proximity chip. The cylinder body is completely robust and reinforced internally with anti-drill protection, plus the convenience and security that any lost key can be deprogrammed preventing unauthorised use. Codeloxx also has the flexibility of combination codes that can be set for different people at different times, allowing flexible but secure access control to both homes and commercial premises. The shapely electronic double knob cylinder of the Codeloxx with Combination Code combines the advantages of a key system with the total convenience of access using only a combination code. “Authorised personnel can gain simple entry via the combination code entered using the numeric combination ring making the Codeloxx in terms of functionality, ease of use and design, completely unique. We have a genuine USP with Codeloxx” explains Christian Meyers, CEO of Abus Seccor. The door knob is rotated to the desired digit and confirmed with a gentle press, after entering the four to six digit code, the door can then be opened, allowing an alternative keyless entry. The Codeloxx can be set up as a full domestic or commercial access control system with up to 511 entry permits. Programming of keys and codes, activating and deactivating is quick and simple using the ABUS key manager software or the programming key.

Demand is high for highresolution images that provide a maximum level of detail, whether for shops, stadiums or public spaces. As a result Geutebruck has been extending its 4K Ultra HD IP camera range. 30 frames per second and 8 megapixels per image ensure that users can see every detail. Hence end users can identify the driver and license plate of the vehicle that damaged another car in the parking lot or when returning goods they can prove to the sender that the scratches did not happen on their premises. But high resolutions also need to be manageable. The back-focus feature makes camera installation that much easier: The camera focuses automatically with the click of a mouse. Depending on needs and weather conditions, this function can be repeated as often as necessary, and it can also be triggered manually. Because highresolution images are extremely sensitive and outside influences, such as temperature fluctuations, can affect the focus, in some cases causing the images to be blurred. The back-focus feature solves this problem automatically. With Geutebruck’s 4K Ultra HD IP cameras users can see every detail.
