• RFID and MIFARE proximity readers

Key Specifications & Guidance

• Compatibility: Check that readers, controllers, and locks integrate (Wiegand, TCP/IP, relay outputs, etc.) and match your door or gate type.
• Power and Backup: Solutions generally run on 12V-24V DC. Add a UPS or battery backup to avoid downtime during power cuts-kits and batteries are stocked locally.
• Scalability: Modular systems can handle a single entry, or grow to manage multiple doors and zones with networked monitoring and cloud access.
• Data Logging & Monitoring: Opt for solutions with onboard storage or network DVR/NVR for video, log downloads, and event notifications.

Practical Example: Small Office Install

A consulting firm in Johannesburg requires RFID access at two entrances and centralized live monitoring. A cost-effective solution involves:

• 2x RFID keypad controllers (TCP/IP and Wiegand compatible)
• Indoor-rated maglocks with brackets and power supply units
• Standalone DVR kit with two IP cameras
• Communication cabling (CAT5e/CAT6), 12V backup battery

Installation can be phased, and components are in-stock for fast supply, with support for integration and future upgrades as needed.
