Smart Padlocks Provide Access Control and Tracking
Videx has incorporated CyberLock electronic access control technology into two
smart padlocks: the Hockey Puck and the
Bar Bell. The electronic Hockey Puck—
suited for use in applications that require
access control for containers, entry gates,
substations or any location where there's
no available power—has a stainless-steel
body that completely surrounds a stainless-steel shackle when closed; the buried
shackle design prevents attack by bolt cutters. The electronic Bar Bell—intended for
applications such as securing tank valves,
utility vaults and chemical containers—
has a stainless-steel core and locking post,
and is sealed with O-rings to prevent water
and dirt from reaching the inner core of the
lock. The Hockey Puck has anti-drilling
features built into its core and the stainless steel construction makes it resistant
to harsh conditions. The Bar Bell has a
screw-on waterproof cap and stainless
steel locking post. A stainless steel cable
tethers the cap and post to the body of the
lock to prevent them from being misplaced. The company's CyberLock system
of smart padlocks and programmable keys
provides detailed audit reporting of lock
openings and key activity.
