Compatible with your access control system
Universal Reader
Overview
Intercom and Access Control
The best of both worlds
The Universal Reader is a versatile and secure reader designed to enhance the overall experience at any kind of gate.
Access is not just about physical entry points. It‘s about places of decision, communication, and security, both inside and outside a building or area. For a secure and user-friendly access experience, we combine an external access control system with a reader and intercom – the recipe for maximum functionality, security and orientation at every entrance. Our Universal Reader makes this possible: sleek design and architectural compatibility that matches our intercom stations, but gives you the flexibility to choose the access control system that suits you best. By combining with our intercoms, we are enhancing the world of access control systems with advanced communication and interaction capabilities.
Does Schneider Intercom now offer access control? NO!
Our solution is not intended to replace or compete with access control systems, but rather to enhance them with advanced communication and interaction capabilities through our intercoms. Our intercom solution adds context to access requests, allowing for real-time communication and live interaction, ultimately enhancing overall security while giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred access management system.
Use Cases
Buildings
An employee arrives at the office building and prepares to enter using a mobile access card, stored on their smartphone, or a physical tag, if preferred by the company. Access rights are defined by the access control system.
Self-Service Terminal
Ivy Virtual Assistant is there to help you during the registration process on an intercom with a touchscreen and a camera. After scanning the code, a security briefing can be displayed on the screen. The person must read through them and confirm that they have understood them.
Smart City
Bollards used to restrict vehicle access in a Smart City can also take advantage of this solution. Making city life more liveable and secure with management of permanent or time-restricted access permissions.
