BASCOM's Patronus is a library filter that meets your goals, and you don't have to be a technical guru to use it. With one quick setting, filtering can be turned on or off. It's that simple. Stay tuned...this is just the beginning.

Local Access Control & Customization
BASCOM's CIPA-compliant library Internet filtering solution merges depth with simplicity. Want to customize the filter? Create a Profile that defines categories and selects an Access Zone. Need to assign different Internet access for children, teens, and adults? No problem. Create a unique Profile for each group and assign it to the appropriate workstation or group of workstations.

Patronus uses one, simple screen and you're up and running. Take it a step further, and you can override the filter on the fly - giving a patron immediate, unfiltered access for a specified period of time.

Quick Deployment
Patronus is an entirely self-contained library Internet filtering appliance. Just take it out of the box, plug it in, and it is ready to go with a few simple settings. And since Patronus features BASCOM's Virtual Administrator, software upgrades, filtering list updates, and remote backup of the system's configuration files are all performed automatically - without requiring a local technology expert.
