Ingress is a renowned security door access system powered by FingerTec with its biometrics and card systems, providing centralized control to your door access and security system. As of late, Ingress has made it possible to pair a monitored door with an IP camera to beef up security of a monitored site. The integration of surveillance system like EpiCamera in door access solution like Ingress will definitely benefit customers, providing coverage where regular door access systems cannot, such as visual proof and real-time surveillance. By having EpiCamera in Ingress, you can monitor the sites in real time through your computer, laptop and your mobile phone, with the recorded visual footages being kept in the cloud server based on your requirements.

When pairing the EpiCamera system with Ingress, the latter will automatically prompt the camera to start recording all abnormal events (such as door being forced open) under its Monitoring tab, in which administrators can later access the footages for viewing. The recording can also be exported into various images or video formats such as AVI, MKV, BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF, to suit the customers’ convenience.
