LenelS2, a leading provider of advanced security systems and a Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to introduce OnGuard® version 7.6.

OnGuard 7.6 is the latest enterprise security management system that offers rich feature and operability enhancements to its access control platform, while also extending its cloud compatibility, integration capabilities and convenience.

OnGuard 7.6 browser-based client applications enable system administrators to more easily deploy and operate the system.

End user customers who monitor alarms, manage visitors and approve access requests will appreciate the convenience of mobile browser-based clients as part of the standard installation process.

Additionally, an enhanced setting in OnGuard Surveillance and OnGuard Monitor browser clients enables role-based restrictions.

An operator is able to view recorded video beyond a specified timeframe to manage privacy or safety concerns.

Both clients feature new options that enhance video viewing and simplify navigation.    

“With the technology enhancements in OnGuard 7.6, our valued-added resellers and growing customer base will be able to leverage operability improvements as well as enhanced cybersecurity, cloud and mobile features to experience a more scalable, accessible and cloud-compatible enterprise security platform,” said Jeff Stanek, president, LenelS2.

Cybersecurity and compliance enhancements include use of the TLS 1.2 protocol to encrypt OnGuard 7.6 communications, which includes:

  • Email and browser client use

  • Elimination of default passwords for compliance

  • As well as an updated OnGuard Hardening Guide

OnGuard 7.6 also includes a dynamic new reader/alarm panel interface, the LNL-1324e.
