The controller that decides which doors open, and for whom.
A door controller (control panel) takes the code, card or fob from a reader and decides whether to release the lock. We stock every part you need to build an access control system, from control panels to intercoms.
How do I choose a controller?
Count the doors: controllers come in different door counts. The DS-K2601T runs one door and the DS-K2708X runs eight.
Match the reader wiring: readers connect by RS-485 (two-way, better for new jobs) or Wiegand (the older one-way standard). Both models above accept both. See keypads and card readers.
Think about software: Hikvision controllers suit sites already running Hikvision CCTV on HikCentral or iVMS-4200.
