The C3 four door panel runs access control for four doors from a single unit, each with its own reader and its own rules. That covers a floor of an office, a building with several entrances, or a site where the main door, the workshop, the server room and the stores all need controlling separately. Buying one four door panel rather than four single door panels means one install, one power feed and one place to manage everything.
Specifications
| Doors controlled | Four, each with independent rules. The single and two door versions cover smaller sites. |
|---|---|
| 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 a cleaner gets the offices out of hours and nothing else, while a manager gets everything. |
| Video and lift control | Compatible with video integration and lift control, which matters most at this size: on a multi floor building you can restrict which floors someone can reach. |
| Audit trail | Every entry is recorded against a named person and a named door, so you can answer who went where and when across the whole building. |
What you will need
A reader for each door, 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. At four doors it is worth having us spec the whole job, since cable runs and power become the thing that costs time on site.
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.
