Dahua DHI-ASI1201E: Water-proof RFID Standalone Access Controller
The Dahua DHI-ASI1201E (Dahua model ASI1201E) is a compact, water-proof standalone access controller for one door. It reads Mifare IC cards and has a sensitive touch keypad with blue backlight, so users can unlock with a card, a password or both. It stores up to 30,000 cards and 60,000 events, and connects over TCP/IP for management, with Wiegand or RS-485 for an additional reader.
Who is it for?
Small offices, gates, stock rooms, communal entrances and workshops where one door needs card or PIN access without a separate access control panel. The water-proof design suits outdoor gate posts and exposed entrances.
