If you are thinking of updating your existing access control system with new technology, there are many things to think about such as the software functionality, ease of use, reader style, card credentials, cloud options and overall site requirements.

My recommendation is to pick a product that has a variety of card options, for example Kantech offers four different styles of card credentials from wireless remotes with proximity tag embedded to standard proximity cards. Here are a few of the available options, the P40 key tag mounts on a standard keychain, the P10shell is a standard plastic white card for a wallet, retractable belt clip or lanyard and the P50 self-adhesive card credential is sleek, it can mount on the back of a watch or smartphone.

if you need to control access into an underground parking garage or parking lot, the Kantech P82WLS or P82WLS two and four button wireless transmitter are available with or without embedded ioProx proximity tag. With the Kantech wireless transmitter with built-in tag you can obtain access into the parking lot with the press of a button then present the same wireless card credential to the entry door to get into your building. If wireless read range is an issue, you can add a dipole long range antenna to the wireless Kantech P700WLS receiver with standard whip antenna for up to 150 feet of range.

Now let’s not forget about the visitor intercom, Kantech has that covered too. The Kantech Telephone Entry System (KTES) can be surface or flush mounted and can be used indoors or outdoors with the optional heater kit. The KTES requires a dedicated telephone line which will contact tenants or residents on any 10-digit phone, landline or smartphone. The directory is easy to navigate and can also accept one reader slot.

Best of all, the KTES, KT400 & KT1 door controllers can be connected to the cloud with Kantech’s revolutionary hattrix Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud hosting solution. This means that your site no longer requires a computer onsite with software that required regular maintenance and support.

Simply open the EntrapassGo App and complete twenty + standard features from adding a new user, deleting a card, running a report, modifying an unlock schedule or unlocking the door. Prefer to manage your system with a PC, no issues, open EntrapassWeb and control your card access and intercom system like online banking.

If you are a property management company or a corporation with multiple facilities, Kantech hattrix provided you with access to all your facilities with ease and peace of mind to manage and make immediate changes offsite, no more site visits required to add or delete a user or update a phone number change to the intercom.

Kantech has recently introduced ioSmart encrypted smart readers and card credentials, now your site can be secure from the card to to the controller to prevent hacking.

ioSmart Smart Cards and Multi-Technology readers provide a cost-effective migration from older proximity cards to advanced smart card technology to provide enhanced security through end-to-end AES-128 encryption
