Intruder Alarm Advice

[JasonOfOz]

Hi Everyone,

 

Just looking for some advice to see if we can make a client's life easier somehow.

They currently occupy both floors in a 2-storey building.

-       They would like to be able to set both floors individually.  (i.e. one RKP per floor)

-      They also share a common lobby and would like to arm this lobby when everyone has exited both floors

 

Can we set up / configure system in a way that whoever is the last person to set the alarm in the building, not only sets the floor they are about to leave, but also the lobby area as well?

 

Also, the are using an access control system with Mifare cards - is there a way to allow them to use those same cards to arm and disarm the system? 

ps. haven't settled on which system yet but was looking at Galaxy Flex.

 

Thanks for your advice

Galaxy will cope well if you know the panel and setting up groups, but I wouldn't use a flex , dimension would work better , unless they already debating on price, never used the access side on dimension not sure if it's compatible

 

Pete might be able to programme something on cards

 

And there are experts here on galaxy who will tell you how to integrate , groups bit striaght forward

 

However hkc is much easier on software side......

Premier has a Foyer option just for this type of thing.

vanderbilt have a keypad that reads mifare and em as std

Advanced Access sell the universal model of the paxton reader with weigand op, rebadged, at a third of the paxton RRP.

[james.wilson]

you can use any reader u like, no need for a Paxton one

Thanks for everyone's advice. All very useful.

 

Premier does sound useful if it already has that foyer function, so many thanks sixwheeledbeast
 

Thanks james.wilson we might need to take a look at Vanderbilt.

 

I just find it funny in this day and age to be issuing a Mifare card for doors and then a separate keyfob for the alarm.
