I think RS2 and Gallagher are one of the best platform.

I'm interested in any integrator general impressions of Blub0x and Feenics.

I'm actually a little surprised that Open Path wasn't listed here...truly one of the few really forward thinking A/C manufacturer's out there right now.

Is it me or are most of the comments referring to Genetec being a 'Favorite' Access Control product have video tied to it? So in a standalone environment, is it a 'favorite' AC system or is it Unified that's making it the 'favorite'? It's a sexy package in Unified deployments but not much better than red light/green light as a standalone.

Genetec has a decent access control system but really shines when it is integrated to the Omnicast VMS software. One of the major limitations of Genetec versus a traditional access control system like CCure etc. is that each alarm activation is its own event and creates a new alarm instance. If you have an input that is going in and out of trouble, a new alarm will be generated for each instance. This can quickly fill up the Alarm Monitoring screen potentially hiding more important alarms down the list and off the screen. Another limitation is that each alarm condition needs to be individually configured via event to action instead of just being a checkbox in the door object configuration to alarm based on a door ajar or forced door condition.

I am kind of curious to how many Lenel dealers switched to Genetec over the last few years. Did anyone do that switch?

I should've cast a vote for Open Options. We have long time been a dealer but only recently started deploying large installations and it's been a good experience.
Brivo has been great as well. My main issue with Brivo is the lack of features in their cloud product. Everything that I wish I could do the answer is always "open API". This is unfortunate and Brivo is certainly not the only company to respond in this way.
I should not need to write an API integration to have, as an example, a push to release button for an NDE door.

Hi,
anyone have opinions / experiences about other, lesser used systems?
examples: Siemens, Honeywell EBI/WinPak, Sielox, Keri, Stanley security, Rosslare/AxTrax?
