The C3 two door panel controls a pair of access controlled doors from one unit. Each door gets its own reader and its own rules, so the same panel can run a main entrance everyone uses and a stock room only supervisors can reach. It is the usual choice for a small unit with a front and back door, or a single entrance plus one secure area.
Specifications
| Doors controlled | Two, each with independent rules. Drop to the single door version for one, or step up to four doors. |
|---|---|
| Credentials | Card and fob readers. For fingerprint entry you need an Inbio panel instead, which takes fingerprint templates over RS485. |
| Access rules | Set separately per door and per person, so someone can have the front door all week and the stock room only on their shift. |
| Video and lift control | Compatible with video integration and lift control, so entry events can be tied to camera footage and floor access restricted by person. |
| Audit trail | Every entry is recorded against a named person and a named door, so you can answer who went where and when. |
What you will need
A reader for each door you are controlling, either an RFID reader for card and fob, or a Bioface Reader for contactless face and palm. Then a lock per door such as a mag lock, a push to exit and break glass for each secure side, a power supply, and cards or fobs for your staff.
C3 or Inbio?
Both ranges come in one, two and four door versions and do the same core job. The difference is biometrics: Inbio panels accept fingerprint templates from the fingerprint reader over RS485, where C3 works with card and fob readers. If nobody on site is entering by fingerprint, C3 is the cheaper and simpler choice.
