An application programming interface (API) being offered by the two companies adds verification and consolidated management control for Toshiba Surveillix DVRs to DSX access control solutions, including its robust WinDSX application, its Enterprise Class WinDSX - SQL security management system, and its dynamic DSX-Soft I/O package .

As a result, video surveillance and access control operate as a transparent system, enabling security professionals to retrieve more complete security information from a single workstation.

"DSX is working hard to bring security solutions to a world that is being challenged on all sides to be vigilant, prepared and successfully secured 100% of the time," says Bart Holzer, CEO for DSX. "We are proud to partner with Toshiba in seeing that this goal is achieved for a safer tomorrow."

"This is a great opportunity for Toshiba to work with an industry leader in merging video surveillance and access control in the security operations of our mutual customers," said Sergio Collazo, National Sales & Marketing Manager, Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products Group. "DSX makes outstanding products for the access control marketplace, and we are excited to have them as a partner."

DSX Access Systems, Inc. designs and manufactures integrated, total access control software and hardware. Its software capabilities include Photo ID Badging, Guard Tour, Time and Attendance, Elevator Control, Key Tracking, Image Recall, DVR Integration, ASCII interfaces to Paging and CCTV Systems, and Hot Swap Redundant Comm Servers.
