IP door access systems have a central control box that is connected to the network. There are pigtail wires that provide power for the electric lock, open/close detection, and a Request to Exit button input. Installation is simple and easy. If you're considering an IP door access system, you should read this guide to learn about its wiring. You'll need to install two pigtail wires for each door in your building.

​

If the door access system is in an older building, you may not have the right wiring already installed. In that case, you'll need to get the appropriate sensors to connect to the wiring in the building. The downside is that installing wires in an old building is very expensive. But it is possible to do it yourself. And if you can't find the right sensors, you'll never need to worry about the costs. So, it's worth it.

​

When selecting an access control system for your building, you need to decide how you'll use it. Most door access systems use authentication, which means a person has to show their identity to gain access. There are many methods for proving identity, from key codes to fingerprints and facial recognition. These are just some of the options. It's important to choose one that's right for you. If you don't like the idea of installing extra wiring, then look for a wireless option.

The ISONAS IP Door Access Controller replaces expensive control panels. It provides all the functionality of a control panel but also uses the power of a local network. The IP Door Access Controller has a built-in RFID proximity reader, which can replace the control box in most situations. With an IP-based system, you don't even need a separate control panel. This makes the entire system easier to manage. It is best to use a wireless door access controller if your doors have multiple entrances.

The IP-based door access control system uses Internet Protocol instead of Wiegand. It uses a standard telephone line and Category 5e or Category 6 cable for its electrical handling power. While traditional door access control systems use wired connections, IP-based systems use a wireless connection. If you have an IP-based door access control system, choose a device with IP-based capabilities. This model has more advanced features, which makes it better for commercial properties.

​

The IP-based Door Access Control System uses a proprietary protocol for authentication. Users must present access credentials to gain entry. These credentials can be in the form of a badge, a card, or a mobile phone. When these credentials are scanned, an encrypted tag number is generated by the credential reader. When a user enters the door, the device will compare the information to its database. Then, it unlocks the door through a magnetic or electronic release mechanism.
