🔐 Standalone Access Control Systems

Standalone access control systems are self-contained units, where all electronics are built into the reader or keypad itself. They require no additional wiring, routers, alarms, or sensors, making them ideal for low-security doors or small buildings with limited access points.

✅ Key Advantages:

• Cost-effective – Ideal for small budgets, simple setups, or low-risk areas.
• Quick and easy installation – No need for specialized technicians.
• Flexible access options – Compatible with cards, fobs, tokens, or codes.
• Scalable – Start with one unit and expand as your needs grow.

🌐 Centralized Access Control Systems

Centralized access control connects all your sites and doors through a single, unified platform — even across multiple buildings or countries. Access permissions, user management, and monitoring are all handled from one central location.

✅ Key Benefits:

• Global access with one credential – Staff can move across locations seamlessly.
• Greater efficiency – Simplified system management saves time and resources.
• Reduced costs – One system to deploy and maintain, with economies of scale.
• Future-ready – Easier to update, expand, and adapt to evolving risks.
