What makes IP-based systems different?

• Reduced training requirements for technicians. No need to deal with RS-485 communication issues, termination, set DIP switches and follow strict topologies. Just connect an IP reader the closest network access point.
• Reduced inventory. Keep a few standard IP readers in stock instead of various models of expensive controllers and enclosures.
• Easy maintenance. No need to search for controllers hidden in electrical rooms or above ceiling. Simply remove the reader and start troubleshooting.
• Reduced installation costs. Use an already existing LAN/WAN infrastructure instead of installing new cabling. Take advantage of PoE and eliminate the need for separate power supplies.
• Reduced installation time. With plug-and-play configuration and lesser amount of cabling it is possible to have the system installed and commissioned faster.
• New features. Network communication speed if much higher than the usual speed of serial transmission (10/100 Mbps versus 9600 bps). This means that the system is more responsive, configuration & user updates are transmitted faster, there is enough capacity to send audio, video and biometric data.

All the above advantages contribute to maximizing the profit of dealers and installers.
