Open door from any PC ?

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxx>]

Cheers James - I'm down in Milton Keynes. It's a Terraneo Door entry
system with an AC fail safe release. Connecting it to a relay to trigger
it etc. is no problem for me, its getting something out of a PC to
trigger the relay that I guess is the hard bit.

I've got one of ADT's managers starting here in a couple of weeks time
to run my alarm company :)

I should have made it clear the CCTV server is a dedicated PC running
Win2000, Geovision software and PCI card - sorry.

This must be acheivable....

At my office each PC has access to our CCTV camera's.

When someone comes to the door, they call the door intercom, we only
have two handsets in the building and it means getting up to let them
in/talk to them.

I want everyone to be able to fire off a little applet that somehow
triggers a relay that opens the door.

I image a VB or ASP script could send a signal to the serial port or
the
CCTV server that would close a relay etc. etc.

Is it possible ? or am I just rambling for no good reason.




Dean.
