I've been interested in the Honeywell NetAXS-123 system. I only need a 1 door solution right now, but this can take expansion boards to support up to 3 doors if we remodel. TCP/IP connectivity lets me put it on our internal network for programming, supports power over ethernet (PoE) or can use AC and a backup battery. It runs a built-in webserver for browser-based configuration so everything is locally controlled, but you have an option for remote access too. I can tie it in with our alarm system so that will disarm when a user swipes. I'm finally seeing some reviews on Amazon and the biggest criticism is the web server is slow and the setup isn't intuitive.
It has a lot of nice features. One supported scenario I want, like when I'm at GCUC, is for the door to be unlocked M-F 9a-6p, but it won't unlock automatically until the first cardholder swipes in after 9am. They refer to it as a "snow day" feature. Obviously, you can set up 24/7 access for some members, but the building wouldn't be "open for business" until a member shows up during regular hours. Downside is it looks like it would run around the $700 - $1K mark with the magnetic lock we'd need. Also, Honeywell doesn't support DIYers, so it might be wise to get a professional install the system. Probably a good idea anyway, since fire code compliance has some requirements on ease of exit if someone is working at 2am and wants to keep the doors locked for their security. *Glen Ferguson* Phone: 301-732-5165 Email: g...@coworkfrederick.com <mailtog...@coworkfrederick.com> Website: http://coworkfrederick.com Address: 122 E Patrick St, Frederick, MD 21701 On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 12:44 PM, Jacob Sayles <ja...@officenomads.com> wrote: > Yeah most of these systems are far less expensive and are residential not > commercial level hardware.
