CCA3-2-2 - Two-door two-way offline network access control panel - Pull SDK

Door control panels are central elements of high-security, modern access control systems. They can be extremely useful even in a single-door system, but their versatile capabilities can be utilized even more in multi-door systems.

One of their most basic advantages, compared to traditional standalone readers, is that here the data isn't stored in the readers, but in the controller's own memory, which is located in a protected internal area, making unauthorized access impossible even by taking the readers off the wall, and shorting the right wires; however, network panels also have numerous other advantages and functions as well.

The panels can be connected to a PC or laptop via TCP/IP either directly or through switches on the same network, and they can be configured, managed, and logged with a simple yet comprehensive English-speaking software, which has a wide range of settings.

The devices are available in one-, two-, and four-door versions, and among them there are those that can handle biometric data and those that cannot. Depending on the location of the installation and the needs for functions that arise with it, it is possible to use simple offline panels or server-based online ones, with the latter designed to solve more complex and global problems. Additionally there are also panels with their own, readily available web servers. Multiple panels can be used and coordinated in the same system, even panels with different door-count, however the different network types (offline, online and the ones with bult-in web server) cannot be mixed with each other.

Unlike standalone readers, this product is just a control panel, which alone is not capable of card reading, code input, or any other form of identification. This means that for a minimal system, it's not enough to only have accompanying electric locks for the devices, but the purchase of separate readers is also necessary. The extra price that comes from this should be taken into account while planning a system, but it also means that, unlike the fixed appearance of standalone readers, here there is a much greater flexibility in terms of design for the readers.

The CCA3-2-2 is a two-door two-way offline network access control panel, which does not handle biometric data. The offline panels work with a free software, which can be downloaded from our website. The software is not server-based, and not to be installed on a server, and the panels only communicate with it upon request. Therefore, any modifications made in the software need to be manually synchronized with the panel (a few clicks), and the log entries also need to be retrieved from the panel before displaying them (also a few clicks).

The additional limitation of the offline system is that if there are multiple panels in the system, they do not communicate with each other at all, which excludes the possibility of complex solutions such as global anti-passback control between multiple panels.

The advantages of the offline system are that the software is free, the panels themselves are cheaper, and if the user has no extra expectations regarding the system's capabilities, they won't get lost in the maze of unnecessary settings. Such an access control system is completely suitable for most places.
