Control access and synchronize with video
The core of AKCP's Access Control Solution is the Door Control Unit. The Door Control Unit (DCU) is a versatile yet compact base unit powered via 12 VDC. You can also add up to 2 additional environmental monitoring sensors using RJ45 plug and play technology.
The Door Control Unit can be used with various audio devices such as alarms or can be operated without the aid of additional audio using its own built in system. The front panel of the DCU comes equipped with LED lighting to easily display sensor and device status.
The Door Control Unit also features an RS485 MODBUS connection for additional convenience.
Control access to one main door with the DCU. RFID card readers, PIN card, finger-prints or dual authentication can be configured by connecting suitable hardware.
A sensor port is compatible with all AKCP sensors, including RFID swing handle locks.
Combine RFID swing handle locks with fingerprint readers for biometric cabnet access control.
DCU integrates with AKCPro Server central monitoring software. This gives remote monitoring and control of doors and administration of users and access privileges. Access events are synchronized with IP video camera feeds for event based recording.
AKCP's access control solutions allow you to implement the high security standards that you need while also making it easier to gather important information on your environment and employees.
Access Security
Never before has such an advanced access control system been integrated with environmental monitoring.
The primary reason that any company employs physical access control is for enhanced security and surveillance. AKCP has designed its Access Control Solutions to provide you with the most information possible in a customizable and adaptable interface to make implementation easy.
AKCP Card Readers
In addition to recording live video of all access attempts, AKCP allows you to further your security measures using its top of the line Access Readers. Access Readers are available in card designs. Card reader access is controlled via radio frequency identification cards which can be linked to individual users that automatically log users in or out, making payroll easy.
The Door Control Unit supports up to 5000 users and can be expanded upon using our accessible SD card feature.

DCU is compatible with a wide range of access control accessories. Purchase the door controller to go with existing standard Weigand RFID card readers and keypads, or 12VDC locks.

Fire Safety Notice
Normally, Door Control Unit is located near to the door and often in the ceiling space. Since heat rises, this means that the Door Control Unit can be subjected to high temperatures during a fire with the potential for unpredictable failures. AKCP recommend for all installations that a manual override, not associated with the Door Control Unit, should be installed on every door.
