A controller is the brain of an access control system; it is a central hub that controls all the hardware such as Card readers, Keypads, Gate controls, Elevator controls, Intercoms and Biometric readers within an access control system. A door controller stores the authorisation information configured by the system administrator. It receives the list of all the users with access permissions, stores the data internally, and sends commands to unlock doors and gates as required. In short, it’ll unlock the door if the credential is already registered in the system but will keep the door locked if the credential isn’t yet authorized.
