Equipment

In addition to controllers, a system consists of a group of devices that work together. These devices can include badges, readers, intrusion detection devices, fire alarm devices, motion detectors, video cameras, and more. The third-party equipment, the number of doors, readers, and other devices impacts the number of modules, enclosures, power supplies and Supervisor PCs the installation needs.

Model/option	Supported	Comments
Cameras	AXIS M5014 Version 5.50.3.1 AXIS M1065–L Version 7.20.1 AXIS 215 PTZ Version 4.49	FFmpeg video on 64-bit clients
Readers	Third-party readers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with different features. Some have keypads; others have a weather-proof housing; and so on.	These devices detect the information on a badge and transmit it to a controller. Reader categories identify devices by their associated technology, and by the way they read a badge, such as, touch, insertion, and swipe. Proximity readers require only that the badge pass close to the read surface. Insertion readers require the person to insert the badge into the reader, often only half way, and then pull the badge out. Swipe readers require that the badge pass completely through the reader.
Badges/cards	Third-party cards or badges are supported.	The system: Centrally managed card holder and credential database. Multiple access cards per person Supports live credential enrollment from any card reader. Provides simultaneous support for multiple access card formats. A variety of possible technologies and formats provide badges (also called cards). Some of the most common technologies include: Bar Code Barium Ferrite (BaFa) Magnetic Stripe Proximity Smart Card Wiegand (the system supports Wiegand-style card readers)
Elevator control
Door hardware	Third-party door hardware.	The system uses a door’s latch or dead bolt to lock and unlock the door. There are many types of locking mechanisms. The most common include: door strikes magnetic locks electric door devices panic or push bars
Remote reader modules	10724, SEC-R2R	DIN-mountable modules that expand the door reader capacity by two, with associated supervised inputs and outputs.
Remote input output modules	10723, SEC-RIO	DIN-mountable modules that expand capacity with eight supervised inputs and eight relay outputs. Inputs and outputs are the physical connections (points) on controller modules. Two types of inputs are available on the modules attached to a controller. inputs – DI1 through DIn supervised inputs – SI1 though SIn: In addition to being an input, a supervised input monitors the state of the wiring between the controller and the switch. Output relays serve multiple functions, such as controlling the floors a person may select when riding in an elevator.
Building automation	UL-294 and CE listed systems available for access-control-only installations

Inputs

Digital inputs (DI) are devices that monitor the state of electronic contacts. These include three general devices:

Door sensors are contact devices that monitor the state of a door.
Exit requests provide access to leave through a door without having to present a badge.
ADA (Americans with Disabilities ACT) controls can be used with power-assisted doors that open and close automatically. On the outside of a facility, you can configure such doors to open only when the door is unlocked (after a validation or during a scheduled unlock period).
Other inputs include devices that detect a glass break, and motion sensors.

Outputs

Digital outputs (DO) are devices that control door hardware or annunciate an alarm. For example, if a door contact (input) senses that a door has been held open too long, an output bell or horn can audibly alert personnel that the door is open. Outputs may turn on and off lights, heaters and air conditioners.

SmartKey devices

These devices provide a keypad and display screen for arming and disarming assigned intrusion zones.
