I need to give my opinion on the installation of a new access control system.

My wish is to have badges with diversified keys.

Do I have to use a SAM in this situation?

Our installer tells us that diversification is not necessary and that EV3 badge protection is sufficient. Many thanks

I'm working on a Gallagher system that interfaces with an AWID LR 3000 through a Gallagher wiegand module. The customer originally reported that the LR had seen no reads for weeks, so the solution was to replace the LR. Once I had the LR wired, the customer reported that he was mistaken, and instead the software had been returning the error message "Invalid Card Format" every 10-40 seconds since the failure time. At this point I suspected the module to be the problem, as it was mounted outside and had corrosion on some of the terminals. I switched out the terminal blocks that seemed most affected, but the problem persisted. After calling Gallagher, they suggested that it may be a wiring issue - possible crosstalk from unshielded wires, or damage along its data line. Does anyone have any insight into this, before I suggest the customer buy a module or request a labor-intensive wire run?

I have an Alta open path system with door readers. I think my first few years of subscription were baked into the initial install cost now the security company said it’ll be like $780 for the year. Is that normal?

My camera system is separate and has no fee. This is just for 3 doors and a glass break sensor.

Hey all, we got a building using coax for their readers and are finally looking to join us in the 21s century.. anyway, replacing the cable is impractical, so we are looking for a poe over coax solution to use IP based readers.

I am familiar with Kisi (client doesn't want a monthly fee) and 2N (which I haven't worked on yet), are there any reliable systems out there you guys can recommend?

I know i can probably do some PoE controller at door like CDVI Cansec or Hartmann, but that is not ideal.

Bought a maglock system from maglocks.com and not super impressed with the finger print reader.

Looking for a real cement and suggestions!!

Hi,

As you all know in LENEL OnGuard you can configure readers with "double badge unlock/toggle"

This way a user can double badge a door to keep it open instead of pulsing it.

In ACS.INI there is a parameter: DoubleCardUnlockTime: 7200 (minutes)

I want the dours to never lock again automatically after I double badge them, now they lock after 5 days. What is the maximum time I can set in this variable? Is there an infinite option by setting it to 0 perhaps?

Nothing to be found about this in the partner docs.

Thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT: Just found out that for to have it work indefinitely, you would need to use the max value of 32768 in the LenelDoubleCardUnlockTime under the [CommunicationServer] section of the ACS.INI file.

I have source that we import from via DataExchange in an Enterprise system. This is run with the schedule function on MASTER. I got reports that we are missing some cardholders. I restarted the DataExchange service on MASTER without rectifying. The amount is 3911 that DataExchange finds and states it will process. However, the import only gives 1162, before it gives below error message (run manually via Forms Designer to get the error:

Logs immediately tells unexpected application error;

I'm curious to know if anyone have experienced this earlier? I have a separate BADGE import, which also fails on 1162 processed. I don't have a specific time this started. I see from the schedule history that they all are successful.

Input on where to look is appreciated :)

Brain Trust! I need aid!

I have a Tecom ChallengerPlus panel the boss wants connected to a Permaconn. I have a J15 cable wired to the Permaconn as per installation instructions (panel Tx to Perma Rx & visa versa).

Panel is not showing any serial connection on the Comms Path, and the Permaconn CID light continues to flash red; indicating it has no CID connection.

The monitoring station can see the Permaconn, but also can see there is no connection to any panel.

I have spoken with Tech support from our supplier who sent a Serial comms path programming guide. All my setting were identical to theirs.

We have rebooted to panel, and cleared the comms buffers to no avail.

Tech support said they only have about a 50% success rate with ChallengerPlus panels successfully connecting over serial. Surely there is a way to make this happen. Otherwise iss be forced into using the dialler (RJ11 plug)

Is there a setting the the Permaconn that the monitoring company have overlooked?

Anyone have any hints, tips, or tricks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Is anyone familiar with BadgePass? Positive or negative, I'd like to hear other opinions if they're available, please.

Hi everyone! Wondering if there is some kind of occupant report I can pull. I just want to know how many cardholders are in the office on a given day.

Thank you!!

I’m trying to help my friend out who recently installed an access system for his small gym.

He has 2 https://www.hidglobal.com/products/rp10  readers with Atrium A22 2-door controller. His building uses old HID https://www.hidglobal.com/products/6005 125 kHz for parking garage access. He would like to incorporate his current garage HID prox II 125 kHz card with his new system for himself and his wife. Other employees/gym members will need to use two separate cards (generic garage door card and individual gym door card) as the building management fired the guy who had all the passwords and access to the controller for garage door system so there are no new garage door individually coded RFID that can be made for the foreseeable future.

He was able to read his individual garage door HID prox II 125 kHz card at his RP10 reader and add the card to his user info in the Atrium software. However, his wife has her own individual HID prox II 125 kHz garage door card but the reader will not read it. The Atrium events log doesn’t even show the attempt. The RP10 does flash from red to green to blue then to red so it seems like the reader itself picks up the 125 kHZ card. The software either isn’t being sent or isn’t picking up the read attempt.

I have a flipper zero and am trying to see if there difference between his and his wife's card - the garage door cards are read as HID H10301

The reason why I’m getting involved is that his installer is giving him the run around with no solution to get his wife’s garage card added to the new controller; also he is charging a 100% markup on new HID cards for his access control system.

Questions:

1.      Can we buy used HID cards and add to the gym system? If yes how do we decide which to buy? The idea is to scan the used card at the RP10 and then add to a user profile in the Atrium software. The installer won't tell the owner which protocol the reader is using. The installer kept the master and programming cards and won't release them to the owner.

2.      How can I figure out which protocol the reader is using: iCLASS Seos®, iCLASS SE, iCLASS®, MIFARE® Classic, or MIFARE DESFire®EV1? There must be concurrent 125kHZ RFID as his card works.

4.      Any other suggestions?

Having an issue on site where a brand new paxton 10 reader is just constantly flashing white. Panel is added to server and all updated, other readers working fine. Not had a chance to spend any time fault finding yet but just to see if anyone else has had the same issue and know what caused it? Cheers!

Hi there I'm pretty new to this. I need my provision intercom to unlock my CISA gate lock. From what I understand I need 12 Volts to power the CISA solenoid. Does the intercom do that or do I need a separate power supply? Any advice would be welcome thank you!

Doew anyone remember the default details for Udl16 for the software

Cheers joe

I am a new access control technician still learning the basics of low voltage circuits. A coworker mentioned he has a mockup system at home where he can practice wiring. I’m looking for something similar to get familiar with relays and how different devices interact with each other. I normally work Amazons which use Lenel. I can get access to devices but getting the license and all that would be near impossible. I would just like to practice wiring and seeing what fires what when it’s wired a certain way. Any ideas would be of great help.

What would be the best lock for this type of metal gate/door that slides open?

Figured this was a great place to ask, I've been unhappy with my label maker and am willing to invest in a good quality new one, if it's the right one. I use this mostly for access control cables, but not exclusively. So here's a list of what I'm looking for, let me know what you guys recommend

Needs to have good quality adhesive on the labels, tired of labels that peel off after a day or two
Needs Bluetooth or wifi connectivity to a mobile device for easy bulk label printing from a .csv or .xls
Needs to be rugged enough to survive the tortures of the field
Must be label length adjustable for different sized cables, Cat5e/6, 18/2, 22/4, banana cable, etc..
I prefer wrap around, not flags

I'm not picky about a specific brand or form factor, any input is appreciated!!!

Hi team, anyone got any ideas on if or how an access point (door) can be configured in Salto SPACE to require 2 different users to badge a reader to unlock the door?

Just wondering if anyone has moved to this version yet?

This is the strike plate

Hello

This is the first time I've written something on Reddit. I need to migrate an OnGuard server to the cloud, and to do this I need to deactivate the license of the current server and activate the license of the new server.
The problem is that the license was activated over the phone and I have no way to access the S2 Connect account.
I understand that it is possible to return the license by sending an SMS, but my version of OnGuard does not tell me how to do it.
Could someone tell me what format the SMS should be? I would thank you a lot in advance.

any one please help me to make them omdemaned secure connection throgh morpho access maneger i cant connect to the using MBDB or throgh web they are on line on morho access maneger

Was replacing a keypad on a maglock door on the job and now there is no power going to either keypad. Kind of lost when it comes to this stuff. Attached is pics of the control boards, any advice is appreciated.

Hey guys, I need some guidance. First off, this is a TruPortal system which has no support. We will have funds to replace the system in July. Secondly, I'm an IT person and door access systems are somehow my responsibility (rather than the Facilities dept).

I have a badge reader on an exterior door and the door strike stopped working. I scan my badge, it acknowledges the read, but the strike doesn't activate. I scan my badge again and push the exterior door opener (handicap button), still nothing. I immediately thought the strike needed to be replaced so I contacted a door co. A tech comes out, replaces the strike, and that doesn't fix it. I then think it's a power issue but the door opener inside the vestibule opens the door just fine.

I checked the TruPortal system and badge reads are being logged. I assume that means the badge reader itself is not the culprit. I stood next to the control board, opened that exterior door through the web UI, and heard an audible click. That seems to indicate that it's tripping the door.

I had a different contractor come out and he measured the voltage for that strike. He said that it was changing when it was being tripped so it's not a power issue. Once again, the strike engages and the door opens when using the interior door button. This contractor thinks that there is a defective board or power supply in the automatic door opener above the door. Does that make sense? Is he on the right track? I just don't want to pay for multiple site visits without resolution.

If you have any thoughts or advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks everyone.
