New Videx products
In 1985, Videx launched its next major line of devices: portable data collection terminals. Housed in rugged metal housings designed to withstand harsh conditions, their durability and longevity set new standards in the data collection industry. The product line included both portable barcode scanners and iButton readers.
While researching the lock and security systems industry, Videx identified a need for a robust, intelligent electronic lock cylinder that could be powered by a battery and a smart key. In the spring of 2000, Videx introduced CyberLock, a product so innovative that it was immediately recognized by the security industry as an exciting breakthrough technology. Since its introduction, CyberLock has won numerous national and international Product of the Year awards.
The number of CyberLock cylinder designs exceeded 200 in 2006 and continues to grow. The variety of available cylinders provides solutions worldwide for access control of doors, padlocks, safes, cabinets, gates, control cabinets, desks, containers, cargo bays, vending machines, and much more. Continuous development of innovative hardware and software consistently adds new features and benefits to the CyberLock family.
In 2013, CyberLock, Inc. spun off as an independent company, but strong ties remain between Videx and CyberLock, Inc. Both companies make customer satisfaction their number one priority, underpinned by the belief that the ultimate success of any company is achieved through producing a quality product and providing outstanding customer support.
