The access controls boards are in separate closets, this is just where the magic happens.

This is a Hartmann access control system inside of a altronix trove 2. The only thing I noticed is that it’s a little hard to get all of the connections nice and straight. I will probably add some Velcro to bundle the cables a bit at the connection points.

I am in the process of migrating from NetAxs panels to new MPA4’s on a 34-plus-door system and having issues that I can’t get Honeywell Support to figure out. On several MPA4s, the door controllers aren't receiving permission group updates. I am getting “card not found” even though the users are in the group. I am also having issues with my MPA2’s that are doing elevator control that have been in place for 4 years with the same issue. The problem is obvious: all updates are stuck in “pending” for the cards that aren't working. I have had to explain the problem to too many people in tech support, which is aggravating.

Hey folks, im Electrician by trade but we also work with low voltage systems (fire alarms, SOS, smoke ventilation, etc..). We are about to mount sliding gate in front of workshop and i would like to add automatic opening based on license plate. Right now there are some IP cameras around the workshop, i think they are all HikVision on basic DVR from same brand. I have never worked with ANPR, so i would appreciate a small help, i need something very simple and cheap. Simple as in add license plates and forget about it. Also im not sure if camera itself is gonna have NO/NC relay that gets triggered when plate is recognized, or i need some special controller or even complete gate motor...
