Large Residential Installation

The owners of this large new residential house in California were looking for the latest in technology. Their property had an automatic gate, guard station, two garage doors, pedestrian gate as well as external doors on the house and pool shed.  They asked their security installer Scott to be able to use their phone as their access device.  Scott selected a Wiegand compatible access control system and connected 9 EK6 to the various points of entry. 

Result

The owners said they like the functionality of using their phones and were happy with the installation.  Scott had to reduce the range on the garage units to ensure they were being prompted to open the correct door.
