Product in a nutshell: The Symmetry™ EN-2DBC is an edge network, two door, power-over ethernet (PoE)-enabled controller.
Benefits: The flexible, edge controller operates two doors, can use PoE to power the controller, card reader and door lock therefore reducing labour and costs for installations.
The intelligent controller is IT friendly with network monitoring and is truly a scalable solution allowing the customer to expand their security system easily, anywhere they need it.
In addition to the simple, but flexible architecture of the new access controller and the straightforward network discovery, it’s the ideal choice for organizations looking to deploy a distributed IP-based access control system, expand their current access control system, secure a few doors or upgrade their legacy system.
Manufacturer says: “Our resellers want simplicity, reliability and cost effectiveness, and we have combined all of that in a single security appliance,” said AMAG Technology president Matt Barnette.
“We have looked at all of the advances in the industry over the last three years and combined them in this advanced panel technology. We think this product answers our customer’s requests for hardware that is powerful, flexible, easy to configure and reduces installation costs.
“There are no two installations alike and we know resellers like the flexibility of either a centralized or edge network architecture – often within the same project. The addition of this new EN-2DBC gives them more options.”
