The AKCP Door Control Unit (DCU) combines powerful access control, environmental monitoring, and video integration in a compact, professional unit. Developed with over 30 years of experience and more than 100,000 installations worldwide, it provides top-level security and full integration with the AKCPro Server for centralized management and analysis.

Professional Modular Architecture

The DCU is the central component of the AKCP Access Control System. It operates with a 12 V DC power supply and supports a variety of peripherals—from RFID readers and fingerprint scanners to door locks and sensors. Two additional RJ45 Smart Sensor ports enable integration of AKCP Intelligent Sensors for real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, smoke, motion, and more.

Multi-Level Authentication

• RFID technology: Supports entry and exit readers (EM 125 kHz Wiegand 26)
• Biometrics: Optional USB fingerprint readers for maximum security
• PIN code entry: Can be used individually or in dual authentication mode with RFID

This allows the system to be easily adapted to different security zones and access levels.
