The majority of Door Entry systems operate in much the same way. However, as more and more applications are now supporting moves onto the office network, Cairn Solutions can now offer a different solution.

CDES or the Cairn Door Entry System now connects door control systems to your network, making installation cheaper, management easier, and lowering lifetime costs.

CDES takes full advantage of emerging technologies to change the way in which Security and Door Entry is delivered. The system consists of IP Card Readers and Door Magnets that plug straight into your IP Network. Add this to the server software and what we have is a fully remotely managed Door Entry system along with a marked reduction in installation costs and ongoing maintenance charges.

The system can be hosted on any Server or PC and the communication to the Card Readers is carried out entirely on the existing business network infrastructure. As a result, installation costs, cost of ownership and risks associated with obsolescence are greatly reduced.

The CDES together with the inclusion of mobotix cameras, and what you then have is a Door Entry system that not only controls access to your property and the assets within but also captures in image of all card swipes, be they permitted or denied.

If you want more the system can be greater enhanced by enabling authentication across a number of PC’s or servers. The database software is extremely flexible in the way it controls or denies access, based on the actual door, the cardholder, the time of day etc.
