Controllers, also known as Access Control Panels, are integral components in system construction. Controllers send management commands to end devices or additional expansion modules. Put simply, they act as the “brain” of access control and time attendance systems. Each controller manages specific processes and interfaces with automated equipment.
Essentially, a controller focuses on processing incoming signals from engineering and user equipment. Based on this input, controllers make decisions. Specifically, controllers are used in systems for alarm security, lighting fixtures, multimedia, smart homes, smart offices, industrial automation infrastructure, and more.
Stand-alone Access Control Terminal – VAiOS KA1 Controllers
Within VAiOS’s product series development, there are models of controllers with centralized control capabilities, as well as those serving as central or expansion modules. Except for the KA1 series, which represents a stand-alone controller and access readers in one. Our other controllers feature modern LAN modules enabling easy and fast communication. Our proprietary module development uses unique encryption codes significantly enhancing the security of your system.
Access Control Terminal VAiOS KA1
The budget solution for access control offered by VAiOS is represented by the stand-alone access control terminal VAiOS KA1. It’s a system suitable for controlling a single door unidirectionally. The controller includes a built-in reader and can manage elevator systems. Installation and commissioning are extremely easy. Its primary application is for controlling entrances and spaces where only access control is needed, without tracking working hours or more complex automated processes (for which you can explore our smart controller series WAC4).
The system works with access control accessories such as cards, chips, and 125kHz bracelets. Management and assignment are done through a master card. This is a good access control solution at a decent price. The system is easy to install and set up, requiring only power supply and suitable locking mechanisms. It works with all types of access control locking mechanisms. If you need assistance choosing a locking device and access control, you can contact us, and also read our article on types of locking mechanisms.
Smart Controllers with LAN Module VAiOS WAC4
To meet higher demands, VAiOS develops higher-class access control controllers. These are represented by various modifications of the WAC4 controller. The innovative controller allows for complex infrastructure implementations. The system is LAN-based, and its communication module, along with its unique code, are part of the company’s development. The proprietary communication codes enhance system security.
For installers, a significant convenience is the replacement of the traditional socket for connecting reading devices with an LAN-based RJ 45 socket. This simplifies installation, reduces the likelihood of incorrect connections, and makes servicing access control equipment much easier and faster. We are confident that all technicians and installers will appreciate this innovation of ours. Our LAN-based access control system allows easy integration of alarm systems, access control systems, and control of various electrical processes through a single controller. This transforms the WAC4 into a kind of smart controller for smart homes and automation.
VAiOS WAC4 is a top-class controller with web communication capabilities. Combined with the software, the automation possibilities through the VAiOS WAC4 controller are practically unlimited. More information about the wide application of the multifunctional VAiOS WAC4 controller can be found here.
The system operates with both a local server and a Cloud-based server, providing flexibility in executing various projects with different requirements. We can design and manufacture custom access control and time management controllers tailored to your needs.
