• Anti-passback, time schedules, event audit logs, and local/remote management capabilities.

Many access controllers supported by Communica work seamlessly with widely used readers, power supplies, and lock relays for robust, scalable control at doorways, gates, lifts, and entry barriers.

How to Choose the Right Access Controller

Selecting an access controller starts with the type and number of entry points, user population, and the preferred credential system. Some practical selection tips for South African procurement include:

• Single door/entry: Consider all-in-one standalone units with onboard keypad or RFID compatibility for garages, classrooms, or small offices.
• Multi-door/building: Choose modular networked controllers for greater flexibility and integration with time attendance or CCTV systems.
• Credential type: Assess if you require RFID tags/cards, keypads, biometric readers, or a hybrid for additional security layers.
• Integration: Opt for devices supporting Wiegand protocol or native support for brands such as ZKTeco for easier reader/lock compatibility.

Before purchasing, confirm compatibility with your existing locks, readers, and software. For commercial and institutional projects, consider future scalability-controllers stocked by Communica allow modular expansion and support leading credential and integration standards widely used in SA.

• Entry doors and turnstiles for offices, manufacturing floors, schools, and warehouses
