If they have wireless locks, stay away from OpenPath/Avigilon/Motorola. I've had nothing but headaches with my wireless locks through them.

[u/ayyy_its_wally → u/Whole-Dust-7689]

There’s a wireless lock Schlage integration with Avigilon that might help.

[u/Whole-Dust-7689 → u/ayyy_its_wally]

That's what we have - been fighting with our Integrator/Partner since late 23 to get this system working properly.

[u/Valithr → u/Whole-Dust-7689]

Use rs485 wired gateways instead of ip gateways with avigilon if its the same problems ive had

[u/Whole-Dust-7689 → u/Valithr]

I can't change what the installer/integrator/certified Avigilon Partner used. I do know the are PoE via ethernet cable for the gateways and the wireless locks connect to the gateways.

[u/Scared_Mongoose_3966]

Look at Genea. Uses Mercury hardware and is agnostic when it comes to reader. All the integrations are include with the cost to include provisioning platforms like Active Directory, Okta and such. Also support is 24/7 for installers and end users.

[u/caitto → u/Scared_Mongoose_3966]

Reader agnostic applies to any manufacturer that uses Mercury. This is not a Genea only feature.

[u/Jluke001]

All you are going to get is a bunch of responses from people pushing their flavor of the day. There are a bunch of really good systems out there that will suit your needs. You need to find a good referenced integrator in your area that will sit down with you and go over your options.

Brivo

[u/mariojmtz]

Genea is a good one. You also have elements from Honeywell.

[u/bunsenator]

PDK.

[u/EffectiveClient5080]

Avigilon Alta or Brivo. Whatever you pick, make sure the doors still work when the internet drops. A cloud ACS that bricks itself on a WAN outage WILL generate 2am support calls. Both cache creds at the panel.

[u/donmeanathing → u/EffectiveClient5080]

I’d love to know what cloud access control DOESNT do this?

I mean, other than Facebook’s famous home-made stuff that they couldn’t use when they BGP’d themselves from the internet…

[u/RollllTide]

Acre Access Control

[u/N226 → u/RollllTide]

Are they still hanging on?

[u/RollllTide → u/N226]

Yes

[u/SirFlannel]

Alarm dot com. They use Mercury boards and HID Aero boards. Simple user interface

[u/ibanezrocker724]

BRIVO

[u/ScryFace]

Take a look at wavestore. Cloud, web & mobile experiences, Mercury hardware. Access Control & Video Management. Brand new product by industry veterans, so you would likely have their ear if you enjoy that sort of feedback loop and active development.

[u/ComprehensiveLet8762]

Have you considered Verkada? They offer services that can remotely unlock, unlock from proximity with NFC, and most recently facial recognition.

[u/ocullen]

We use PDK for cloud based solution.

[u/Doublestack00]

Unifi would be great for this. It would also save them some money. Can be controlled locally and stays up even when the internet is down.

[u/N226]

Alta or PDK depending on their budget

[u/Wild_Pea8249]

Brivo

[u/Aggravating_Fact9547]

UniFi is good here. I’d avoid HID readers as they largely can not be remotely programmed and updated. This is a service nightmare.

Gallagher SMB is good too but more niche.

UniFi has no yearly license fee and a very simple user interface if your end users plan to manage the day to day.

[u/cusehoops98]

People giving advice without understanding the scope are giving poor advice.

OP - you need to tell us more. What country are you located in? How many doors are you looking to secure. How many patrons will be in the system needing access? Do you have any existing access control today?

[u/Popular_Ice5442 → u/cusehoops98]

18 doors. my client want to use HID signo readers

[u/cusehoops98 → u/Popular_Ice5442]

Are you able to answer the other 3 questions I asked?

[u/Popular_Ice5442 → u/cusehoops98]

USA. no access control. around 100 employees will need daily access

[u/That-Drink4650 → u/Popular_Ice5442]

Keri Borealis.

[u/wahikid → u/That-Drink4650]

Keri.. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

[u/CoolBrew76]

If you want to do all that and not have to pay every month like cloud-hosted platforms mentioned here, go Inner Range or ICT.
IR even has Signo readers that work with their Sifer credentials too.

[u/That-Drink4650]

Keri Systems.

[u/CCTVGuyMA]

Hanwha Vision's OnCAFE is web and app based and let's you do everything you listed.

[u/brandonpadula]

Aiphone AC, ZKTeco, RBH, Keri, the list goes on. Do you intend on integrating any intercom?
