CredoID version 4.12 expands hardware range!

New hardware: Azure controller support

Designed and manufactured in California, US, Azure Access controllers meet the highest security and performance standards:

  • OSDP v2 Secure Channel connectivity
  • End-to-end encryption
  • PoE+ support (BLU-IC2)
  • Fully customizable reader and I/O assignment
  • Powerful modern processors and more

Utilizing both IP and/or RS-485 connections for controllers and modules (except for single-door BLU-IO21, which is RS-485 only), Azure Access extends the capabilities of the classical access control topology. You now have even more options to run cabling (or re-use an existing one) to achieve required setup. 

Azure Access controllers

  • Upgradeable memory (user and event storage capacity)
  • Form factor and mounting point compatibility with current product range from enclosure manufacturers such as Altronix and Life Safety Power
  • Capability to license additional OSDP readers, bringing the system price per door to a very attractive price point

CredoID software makes the addition of Azure Access controllers seamless by incorporating device support into already familiar configuration workflow.

New feature: Alerts

With CredoID v4.12 release, a new Alerts module introduces customizable alert levels, sounds and persistent notifications, which may require Operator action to be taken.

The key benefits of the new Alerts module:

  • Customize and always see the most important event notifications
  • Assign monitoring of Alerts to particular Operator(s)
  • Introduce event verification procedures (e.g. physical check) and avoid task duplication by syncing verification state among designated operators
  • Control alert timing by setting notification schedules
  • Use “Postpone” feature to temporarily ignore repeat events of the same type
  • Keep a 30-day Alert record with operator comments, notes and reaction times

CredoID Alerts module requires purchasing a license. It enables the feature for all system Operators and does not have usage limitations within the system.

Microsoft SQL support ending. Migration to PostgreSQL. A free database migration tool is now available.

CredoID v4.12 release marks the end of support for MS SQL.

What does it mean for you?

If you are a new user of CredoID v4.12 (i.e. you have a fresh installation), you don’t have to do anything about it. PostgreSQL is the default database engine, which will be installed during CredoID installation process.

If you are running a CredoID v4.9, and you already are using PostgreSQL, you can proceed with CredoID update following the regular update process.

If you are running CredoID prior to v4.9 or you are using a later version with MS SQL, you have to update CredoID to v4.11.288 (the latest one with MS SQL support), perform DB migration using the free tool, then install CredoID v4.12.

Learn more about database migration at CredoID Konwledge Base.

As always, CredoID updates are free for the first 12 months after purchase, so we encourage you to take this opportunity and move your access control data to the excellent expandable and free open-source solution.
