Door Access Control

Network Attached IP Door Access Control Systems

IP Door access control readers connect to your network and are powered by PoE.
You can select IP readers that work with RFID credentials, Bluetooth, or even biometric readerssuch as fingerprint, or facial recognition. Door access control has become very flexible and reliable. It keeps your facility safe.

All the IP readers connect to the network switch. The pigtail wires from the door reader provide power to the electric door lock, detect door open or closed, provide the Request to Exit (REX) button input. This makes installation extremely easy.

IP Door Readers for Access Control

Proximity IP Readers

IP door readers are both an RFID reader and a controller. No control box is required since all the intelligence is in the IP reader. The IP reader connects directly to the Ethernet network and is powered by PoE. IP door readers have the advantage of being very easy to install.

Since the reader converts the PoE power to 12 VDC, you can power locks without running additional power wires. All you need is the CAT 5 drop to the reader.  The latest RC04 readers are available in a number of different styles and capability. You can select models that mount on the side of the door frame (mullion) or on the wall.  The latest models provide the option to use your smartphone (Bluetooth) as the credential.

The readers have all the intelligence built in so even if the network is down the reader keeps working. Of course, it’s best to use a UPS on the network switch or the midspan that’s providing the PoE.

Proximity and Smart Card Door Credentials for Door Access

You can select two different technologies, Prox-card or Smart-Card type. The Prox-card technology uses 125 KHz frequency between the credential and the reader, while Smart-cards use 13.56 MHz frequency.  The smart cards provide additional levels of security.  The credentials come in various form factors.  Select the style you need: thin cards that fit in your wallet, clamshell style that you can wear on a lanyard, Key Fobs for your keychain or Cap Tags that can attach to other things.

Select HID, Mifare, iClass format or Smart Card proximity credentials, or when you don’t want to use credentials select the Bluetooth reader option.

Example of credentials available:

  • ISOProx II
  • Proxcard II
  • DuoProx II
  • iCLASS Prox
  • Smart DuoProx II
  • Proxkey II
  • Proximity and MiFare
  • DuoProx
  • MicroProx

Advanced Door Access System Solutions


These Bluetooth Readers Use Your Smartphone as the Credential. All the IP readers include Bluetooth that allows you to use your Smartphone instead of credentials. You can unlock a door, open a gate or even turn on lights using the IP reader. Using your smartphone and an app, you can unlock your door.


Remote Door Access Control Using an Intercom and IP Camera

If you have a door that’s used by authorized people but can also have visitors, you can use our intercoms and IP camera systems to control the door. You can manually control entry from your computer. For example, the intercom system notifies you with an audible alert, the video pops into a video window on your desktop so you can talk to the person at the door and then let them in. There are a number of different intercom solutions depending on your exact requirements.

Long Range Access Control

Special long-range door access readers are used to open a gate from your car. They have a range of over 25 ft.

Elevator Access Control

A special elevator access control unit is used to determine the floors that can be reached based on the door access control credential.

Integration of Access Control and Fire Alarms

The door access control reader and the electric lock can be wired to the fire alarm in a number of different ways. We can use a relay to drop power to the electric lock, or use an IP device that drops power using the network connection, or add a power control box that drops power when the fire alarm system detects a fire. We can also use door access control software.

Walk Through Metal Detectors

Adding metal detectors at the doors increase safety and security at your school, business or special events. These detectors assure that weapons don’t come into the building.
