Need to setup a keyless entry system for an office

[Beachcomber]

Any experts here on keyless entry?

I need to setup an office with 4 entry doors with keyless entry.
This system will be timed to allow authorized employees entry only
during normal business hours. Logging is a requirment, but not
automatic time cards. Front door and rear door will have Weigand
keypads + proximity card keyless entry. Two interior doors will have
the card readers only.

There is an also alarm system but is isn't and need not be connected
directly to the card reader board.

I'm looking at the Hartmann System. Any opinions as to ease of
programming, installation, and reliability?

take a look at the Kantech system www.kantech.com

with the ioprox type reader you should be ok

you can even integrate the system with an alarm system to implement that
only some card can disarm the alarm and that the door will not unlock on
there normal schedule if the alarm is armed..

3 kt 300 one entrapss special edition and a computer xp or 2000 on it with
one serial port or if you want to use a usb to rs485 translater to
communicate with the controlers..

every thing is controler controled so even if the software is not online it
will still work perfectly

the software is well done stable and have enough feature to make you wonder
what more stuff you can do with it..

it can even control remote site by tcp-ip or modem

for 4 doors you will only need 2 kt300 controllers.
