TekControl
Features
Security
– This system can detect the removal of projectors and other audiovisual equipment and raise
alarms though a number of pathways. These pathways include email, instant messaging, cell phone text
messages and alerts displayed on a central management console. The alarm includes information on the
location of the projector and its manufacturer, model, and serial number.
Maintenance
– This system queries projectors that keep track of remaining bulb life. TekMonitor also
maintains it own lamp-life timer for projectors that do not offer this feature. Similar functionality is provided
for air filter replacement or cleaning, called a maintenance timer.
Energy Conservation
– TekMonitors may be integrated with occupancy sensors and lighting
controls. The occupancy sensor acts as an input to the TekMonitor by creating both on and off events.
These events are then used to turn on and off the lights and A/V equipment.
By utilizing schedules a TekMonitor can define events at particular dates and times. This makes it
possible to turn on an LCD at 7 AM and off at 5:00 PM.
