Our access control systems provide secure, flexible building entry management through networked or standalone solutions. Users gain entry via RFID tokens, PIN codes, or Bluetooth credentials while administrators maintain centralized control over access permissions. The technology integrates with CCTV and alarm systems for comprehensive security infrastructure.
Wireless Door Handles
PaxLock wireless door handles combine security with easy installation through wireless communication technology. These electronic handles eliminate cabling requirements while maintaining full integration capabilities with networked access control systems. Available in multiple configurations for both new installations and retrofit applications across commercial and residential properties.
Door Entry
The Entry system enables visual visitor verification through IP-based door entry panels and mobile app integration. Users receive video calls on smartphones or tablets to grant access remotely. The solution supports SIP compatibility and integrates with access control systems for combined security management across physical and digital platforms.
