Axis A1001 is ~$500 and PoE powered. Each unit will handle 2 doors BUT additional A1001s link up so there's unified config/provisioning/management. By PoE powered I mean the controller runs off PoE, powers the strike, and the reader. No separate power system needed. The Web UI is fast, unlike the lag on HID EdgeSolo.
The cool thing is that, in addition to traditional Weigand, these work with the new reader standard so the reader-controller link is encrypted and you can do mutual authentication with RF smartcards (should you care about that). We're using these after getting annoyed with HID VertX (and associated Windows-based controller) and HID EdgeSolo (not sufficiently flexible).
