Other information:
There are basically three types of system:
- Stand alone: where all the cards information are stored in the card reader itself!
- Stand alone with separate controller: this is like a hybrid system, where a mobile laptop can be plugged into the controller, and user information can be uploaded or download from the memory.
- Network: This is where all cards/users can be controlled from a network computer, than can be easily updated changing user restrictions etc for each reader or access point. You can set access to restricted times and days of the week, and which access door and gates can be granted to that user
