What is wireless WiFi or 4G door access control system？

Wireless access control systems allow authorized users to access a building through WiFi/4G terminal communication with the server. Wireless access control is a specialized area of security that allows installers to offer WiFi/4G access control capabilities for buildings and spaces, eliminating the need for extensive cabling to connect system components.

How does a WiFi or 4G door access control system work?

CT9 Family supports multiple identification technologies, including NFC/BLE mobile credential, QR code, RFID, and PIN code, authorizing users to access a building entrance or restricted area. CT9 Family captures these credentials and transmits the data to the cloud or central software platform over WiFi/4G network. The cloud/software verifies the access credentials and sends them back to the CT9 Family to control whether the door opens or closes via a relay. CT9 Family can synchronize access events in real-time via HTTP/HTTPs protocol to the cloud for monitoring and reporting in both online mode and offline mode.

Wireless WiFi or 4G door access control system credentials

PIN codes: Users enter PIN codes on a keypad. They are generally used for low security areas or in combination with other credentials for multi-factor authentication.

RFID cards: Users can swipe their RFID card on CT9 Family which verifies access permissions. CT9 Family supports both 13.56MHz and 125KHz RFID cards, such as Mifare® Classic, Mifare® Plus, Ultralight, HID Prox and iCLASS®, DESFire® EV1/EV2/EV3, iCLASS SE/SR®, iCLASS Seos®, and NFC tags.

Mobile credential NFC/BLE: Users use their mobile credential BLE/NFC to open door. 

QR code: Users scan their QR code on CT9 Family to open the door and then enter a specific space.

Benefits of wireless WiFi or 4G door access control system

Investing in a wireless door access control system can build the security and convenience of building access.

Reduced Costs

Wireless door access control system helps reduce deployment costs. It can quickly, accurately, and reliably transmit signals, CT9 Family also supports BLE and 4G functions, and communicates with servers via HTTP/HTTPs commands for proximity access control.

Enhance Security

Wireless door access control systems enable visitors and security professionals to grant access and maintain a high level of security at vulnerable or restricted entrances throughout the building.

Faster Installation

Compared with wired access control system, wireless access control system does not need to lay a large number of cables and lines. This avoids the construction complexity and potential damage to building structures caused by wiring. The installation process is simple and quick, and access points can be quickly deployed in different locations.

Easy to expand

Wireless door access control systems make it easy to add new access points or use them to meet the security needs of different areas, without requiring a major overhaul of existing systems.

Cloud management

Cloud-based WiFi/4G security door access control system can synchronize user data to the cloud in real time, and administrator can remotely manage the access rights of authorized users without personally controlling the opening or closing of the door. 

Cloud-based access control systems make it easier for businesses with multiple locations to install, monitor and maintain their entire infrastructure centrally from one device.

Remote User Management

Wireless door access control system supports mobile credential means that security teams no longer need to issue, manage and replace a large number of individual keys. CT9 Family features wired/wireless TCP/IP, and 4G, WiFi, BLE to communicate with the server via HTTP/HTTPS commands for online remote management. Administrator can remotely monitor and manage the access control system through WiFi/4G network, view the access control status, authorized users access rights in real time.

Simple Integration

Wireless door access control system can be easily integrated with other security device such as sensor, fire alarm, building system, and visitor management system to build a comprehensive IoT-connected security solution. When there is illegal intrusion or equipment failure, CT9 Family system will issue an alarm so that administrator can take timely measures. 

These advantages make wireless WiFi/4G door access control system an ideal choice in the field of modern security system. They are widely used in office buildings, schools, hospitals, residential complexes, commercial spaces, and other scenarios.
