Ket ' s KET201JE- IP i s an access control system with CP/IP single door controller, inbuilt reader (125-kHz EM card) and 1,000-record capacity. The product supports one door and one external reader, and features door contact input, exit button input, electrical lock output, fire alarm input and door contact alarm output. Parameter modes are set via software, which is also used to issue cards. Communication mode is inbuilt TCP/IP (201JE-IP) or RS485 (201JE) with damp-proof treatment. It has three access modes: card, card + password and password. Working temperature is from -20 to 60 degrees 
Celsius and humidity levels of l e s s than 90 percent. Memory lasts without external power for one year. Power consumption of less than one watt and power is from seven volts to 35 volts DC.
Newabe l ' s CHD802A access control system supports RS485, TCP/IP and modem network protocols with no keypad. It can be connected to two outside Wiegand readers without an internal proximity reader. The light indicates working state and the system can save 1,700 user cards and 6,144 entry records.
China-vision's EL600F-T is an access control and time attendance system with battery volume status display and built-in TCP/IP for networking. It offers two-megabyte flash memory that is expandable up to eight megabytes. Name and ID number of cardholder is displayed on an LCD. Two TTL outputs make for flexible application; the large LCD display provides user comfort. It repeatedly reads events from the controller 
in case backup data is lost. It has 16 changeable time groups (each time group has eightdays, including one holiday, and each day has five time schedules and 10 holiday tables).
The built-in battery ensures operation during power failure. The product also features an external reader for anti-passing (Wiegand port) and off-line stored events (maximum 100,000). Data can be kept up to 10 years without power. It also offers photo coupler isolation input for fire and infrared sensors. It has 20 presets for sirens, which are activated according to timetable status. It operates as standalone or network viaRS485 (up to 98 units), and is capable of setting event records to save memory capacity; it also provides self-test code to detect system failure.
The smallest two-in-one fingerprint IC card on the market, Semtong's SBC-826 fingerprint and RFID attendance and access control TCP, IP and RFID reader is a practical choice. It supports professional access control functions that are suitable for controlling and administrating large entrances and exits. It has dual fingers, alarm finger mode and multi-verification mode. The product has high-speed fingerprint matching and mobile access as well as storage. It comes with Weigand (26 bits) and RS-485 with an intelligent system design. Fingerprint images can be stored in a single reader. The sensor and surface have a special coating to minimize problems from wet or dry fingers. Outputs comply with most control system brands. It works in temperatures from 0 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius and humidity levels of less than 80 percent.
