wyattwic 0 Posted May 28, 2014 Hello everyone! I own a very small business out of my house and I am getting tired of stolen keys. I decided to install my own access control system but I am having issues getting a exact design and install plan together. Help would be very appreciated! My current setup in mind is for two doors. Each door has a RFID/Keypad combo (http://goo.gl/lO9gTt) and a door strike. The knobs are locked with an emergency key. So far the design is good however I need to have these units accessible over the network so that codes and cards can be enabled/disabled as needed. I was looking into something like this control board (http://goo.gl/PS7LJo) however I am unsure as to how I should integrate RFID/Keypad combo into the controller. Tip and suggestions would be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tip and suggestions would be awesome! For such a small installation, I'm not sure you really need identity management. With the use of controllers and such comes the cost of access control management software. I would just buy two readers and several RFID ID cards, and just program the two readers individually. I wouldn't be able to justify the cost of paying for the capability to change things over a network for a 2 reader install (unless you are planning to have a lot of users). However, if you do really need the networking capability, I would recommend Rosslare as the product of choice. It's much more budget oriented and suitable for a home user. AC-215 can do two card readers. Just buy a backup battery. Not sure on how much their client software is (AxTraxNG). Let me know if you need any Rosslare stuff and I can help you out.

wyattwic 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Axis is a bit above my budget, $500 is my total budget. Hardware, controller, software, total. Problem with the bluetooth lock is that I need logging, we have lots of outside contractors and codes change at least once a day. My deadline is approaching, I think I am just going to take a leap of faith and see where it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
