Intelligent Access Controllers
The Brain of Your Security Infrastructure
The Access Controller is the intelligent core of your security system, managing the logic between your readers, locks, and the central management software. It makes split-second decisions on whether to grant or deny entry, ensuring your facility remains secure even if network connectivity to the server is interrupted.
Key Technical Specifications
Distributed Intelligence Architecture: Our controllers operate with full local database storage. If the main server goes offline, the controller retains all user permissions, schedules, and event logs locally, ensuring zero downtime in critical door operations.
Scalable Topology: Built on a modular architecture, our controllers support networked clustering. This allows you to scale from a single 2-door controller to a massive, multi-site enterprise system controlling hundreds of doors across different geographic locations (connected via TCP/IP).
Input/Output (I/O) Management: Beyond simple door control, our controllers feature programmable auxiliary I/O ports. These can trigger extensive logic sequences, such as:
Fire Alarm Integration: Automatically releasing maglocks upon fire alarm activation.
Interlock/Airlock Functionality: Ensuring Door B cannot open until Door A is closed (critical for data centers and cleanrooms).
Intruder Integration: Shunting (bypassing) a specific door zone on the intruder alarm when a valid card is presented.
Advanced Encryption & Security: To protect against cyber threats, the controllers utilize TLS 1.2/1.3 encryption for all network communication. They also support OSDP Secure Channel, extending encryption all the way to the edge readers to prevent "man-in-the-middle" attacks.
Intelligent Access Controllers are at the heart of modern access control systems, providing advanced management and monitoring of entry points across your premises. Unlike basic readers, these controllers deliver a higher level of security, flexibility, and scalability, making them essential for organisations that require robust protection and streamlined control.
