(Building) Access Control Systems

[Jay Cuthrell]

Personally, I like HID Wiegand mini-prox readers with the numbers stamped on
the cards for simple stuff.  They just work well and are flexible enough to
mix and match other cards people might want to use.

That said, I've reviewed several systems from several vendors and worked
with a couple of installers over the years.  There are a few local choices
to consider like Sonitrol, Alerts Plus, SSI... etc. for doing install unless
you have some time to spare on DIY.

The bigger questions are:
do have room for panels/cans
do you need bio support
do you need to export entries
do you have a dedicated PC ready to run software if needed
do you need to access via TCP/IP
do you have analog phone line you can put in place
are you allowed to cut into the building
etc...
