Network Controllers — Centralized Management in Tbilisi
Network Access Controllers are powerful access control systems that connect to TCP/IP Ethernet network and allow centralized management of dozens or hundreds of doors, barriers, and access points from single platform in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. These controllers are ideal for large organizations with multiple buildings, offices, or branches where real-time monitoring, remote management, centralized user management, and detailed audit log of all entries/exits are required. LAGI offers full range of network controllers: 1-door/2-door/4-door TCP/IP controllers, PoE powered controllers (Power over Ethernet), Wiegand/RS485 interfaces for readers, built-in anti-passback function, integration with biometric terminals, video surveillance (VMS), time attendance systems, elevator control, centralized management platform (Windows/Web-based), cloud-based solutions, mobile application iOS/Android. All controllers support AES-128 encryption, TLS/SSL secure connection, and comply with international security standards.
Main Types of Network Controllers
- 1-door TCP/IP controllers — 1 door management, 2 Wiegand readers (entry/exit), 30000-100000 user database, 100000-500000 event log, PoE/12V DC power.
- 2-door TCP/IP controllers — 2 door management, 4 Wiegand readers, centralized management, anti-passback, interlock (only one door opens simultaneously).
- 4-door TCP/IP controllers — 4 door management, 8 Wiegand readers, ideal for large facilities, economical (fewer controllers needed).
- PoE controllers — Power over Ethernet, no separate power cable needed, simple installation, IEEE 802.3af/at standard, ideal for IP networks.
- Elevator control controllers — integration with elevator system, floor access control, floor selection by card/biometrics, VIP/guest modes.
- Cloud-based controllers — internet management, no local server needed, mobile application, automatic updates, SaaS model.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Standalone controllers — work independently, don't require network or server, users added locally (by card or programmer), cheaper, ideal for small sites (1-10 doors). Network controllers — connect to TCP/IP network, centralized management from single platform, real-time monitoring, remote configuration, detailed reporting, more expensive, mandatory for large organizations (10+ doors, multiple buildings).
Anti-passback is security function that prevents card sharing with another person inside building. How it works: if you entered building with card, system records "inside" status. If someone tries to enter with same card (you passed card to colleague through window), system will deny because card is already "inside". To exit you must use card on exit reader. This is mandatory for high-security facilities.
Yes, modern network controllers integrate with VMS (Video Management System) platforms. When someone uses card/biometrics, system automatically: 1) starts video recording from camera watching that door, 2) shows live video on operator screen, 3) saves video clip together with event log (who, when, where). This allows visual confirmation of who entered and prevents card sharing/theft.
