Feb 14, 2018In Canada, the cost of the device is negligible compared to the cost of a licensed engineer approved project drawing, the building permit and interface requirements to the building fire alarm systems.
POE with backup power would never be allowed, as the maglock must be powered by an engineered maglock power supply - listed for use with a fire alarm disconnect interface- and cannot have backup battery

The marketing material clearly stated 520 TVL on the optional camera, you misrepresented it by claiming it was 480 TVL... Some marketing guy is going to lose his mind with that blatant misrepresentation ;)

Feb 15, 2018The integration of PIR and Cam in this M680E maglock is indeed a welcome innovation however, am concerned with the installation. I want to believe that the purpose of the Cam is to monitor the unsecured area and normally maglocks are installed in the secure area. May i kindly be educated on how best is this M680E going to installed effectively.

Feb 16, 2018Hello Fabian:
The integrated camera on these units face the secured side, and they essentially see the area around the door, and specifically who is exiting the secured area.
I think if you're wanting a general surveillance camera, the option to install a non-integrated camera will be a better solution in almost every performance metric, but if you're looking for video verification of who is entering or exiting through the door, the integrated camera might be useful.
Does that help?

Feb 16, 2018However, cheaper maglocks that require more power also need adequate power supplies (often ~$150 each uninstalled), and adding both hardware and installation labor costs will typically raise the total cost near or exceeding the M680E price, especially for smaller or heavily distributed maglock installed systems where a single additional power supply per lock is used.
Wouldn’t this work for high draw maglocks?

Feb 16, 2018With no fire alarm loop contacts, not likely. That's a wall transformer that can supply enough power, but that does not make it a good fit for most deployments.
