Inexpensive But Good Access Control Solution To Work With Avigilon?

Thanks for that feedback on Redcloud.

In reviewing the list of Avigilon's ACC integrations with Access systems, just about every brand on the list is an 'enterprise grade' platform that requires dealership status to resell and install. Also, you'll notice that every platform but Hirsch's Velocity and the now-defunct Casi-Rusco platform integrate video into the access platform, not access into ACC.

This means that:

1) An access system integration would require your customer to learn (and perhaps primarily use) the access platform rather than ACC.

2) To do this yourself, you almost are guaranteed the need to contact an Access Company regarding a dealership. Obviously, this is a business strategic decision not based on one small job.

3) You could put in a small, 'non integrated' system now using Edge HID or Mercury Security controllers, and eventually move it (read: pay more $$$) to an integrated RedCloud system once the acquisition firms up.

4) You could 'settle' for a non integrated system, and just run an inexpensive access system and ACC separately.

If this is 'just' one job, you might consider asking an existing dealer in your area to help with this project.
