Best access control systems-recommendations

[platestealer 0]

I know this is a difficult question to answer as it varies for each person, but for a 40,000/ft2 building with an elevator (3 floors), 6 stairwell doors and 2 exterior doors. What manufacturer would be suggested. A good user interface is preferable.

 

My thoughts so far are:

 

Nortek (Linear)

 

Honeywell (Web-ax controller)

 

Keri

 

Any thoughts on these or an other brands?

 

I just started also looking into DAQ/Entrowatch

I have used keyscan in several installations both large and small tech support and training are very good.

We do Lenel Onguard and Genetec. But with a system your size maybe look at HID. They have a smart phone app to use as your credential.

My company is a DAQ VAR and the Entrostar platform is GREAT!! We also install Galaxy, Keri, and a few others. Honestly, the DAQ solution would be my preference nearly every time. They (along with Galaxy) are also made and supported in the USA, so that is a bonus in my book.

I am a big fan of Genetec's access control solution as it has a modern GUI that is easy to use and if you want to add CCTV you can't beat the integration.

 

You can look at the SV-16 box which can do up to 16 doors and 16 cameras. If you need more you can go with the SV-32 which can support upto 100 doors and 32 cameras.
