Smart Access Control

Our access control systems range covers the controlled door end to end: face recognition terminals, MIFARE readers, smart cards and keyfobs, keypads, secure door controllers and the exit devices that release them. Hikvision leads the range, with ACTpro, Optimus and RGL supplying controllers, expanders and emergency releases.

Terminals here handle credentials at the door — face, fingerprint, card, fob, PIN or a combination — while door control units manage the lock relay and RS-485 or Wiegand wiring back to the panel, and log every entry. A dedicated enrolment station is stocked alongside the door hardware, so credentials are registered on a 3.97in touch terminal rather than at the door itself. From a single door on a keypad to a multi-door face-recognition system, the range controls and logs entry for offices, sites and shared buildings.

Access control is commonly specified with an entry system and camera coverage on the same opening. See Door Entry & Intercom Systems for video stations and monitors, CCTV Cameras for cameras covering the door, and Door Locks for maglocks and strikes. Ingress ratings, operating voltage and credential type are stated on each product page.
