Is anyone heard of JCX from Hong Kong?

Franky, do you have a link for JCX? I searched for them but could not find any clear matches and have not previously heard of them.

So it's ACX, not JCX? I just want to be clear and appropriately change the title. I've also asked Rhodes to review since they offer access control.

Sorry, John. This band is new to me, but just likely have an interview with this supplier.

I have not heard any specific feedback, but a quick run-though of the offering yields some interesting things:

They offer PoE/IP door controllers, which is interesting. The controller also claims onboard battery backup, which is uncommon and potentially useful.

However, reader connection in RS483 or Wiegand only, no OSDP. That's not ideal for high-security or commercial deployments. 

Also, the controllers are proprietary to ACX's own software, called X.90 which claims basic function and look essentially undifferentiated from other 'hardware first' ODM providers, but is typically a weak point.

Thank you, Brian for your informative sharing. Right now, I am working on the proposal and design for a banking client. So, I need to study several access control for their upgrade proposal.
