Dahua ASR2201A — Slim IC Card & Password Access Reader
The Dahua ASR2201A is a slim, water-proof card and password reader for access control systems. It reads 13.56MHz Mifare Classic 1K cards and also accepts PIN codes on its touch keypad, communicating with a compatible access controller over RS-485 or Wiegand (W26/W34).
Who is it for?
The ASR2201A is a reader, not a standalone controller — it sits at the door and passes card or PIN credentials back to a separate Dahua access controller, which makes the actual lock decision. It suits installers building or expanding a Dahua access control system who need a slim, IP66-rated reader for an external door position, and is a good match where dual-factor entry (card plus password) is wanted.
