Buy Slave Readers

Q: What is a slave reader?
A: A slave reader is an additional reader connected to a main access control system or master reader. It functions as a secondary reader that extends the access control capabilities to an additional entry point or location.
Q: How does a slave reader work?
A: A slave reader works in conjunction with a master reader or access control system. When a user presents their access credential to the slave reader, it communicates with the master reader or access control system to verify the credential's authenticity and determine whether to grant or deny access.
Q: What are the common applications of slave readers?
A: Slave readers are commonly used in various access control scenarios, including:

• Multiple entry points: Slave readers allow for access control at additional entry points such as secondary doors, gates, or turnstiles, supplementing the main entrance controlled by the master reader.
• Remote locations: Slave readers are often utilized in remote or distant areas of a building or facility where a direct connection to the master reader may not be feasible.
• Separate zones or areas: Slave readers can be deployed to secure specific zones or areas within a building, providing access control tailored to individual security requirements.
• High traffic areas: Slave readers can be installed in areas with high foot traffic to distribute the access control workload and prevent congestion at a single entry point.

Q: Can a slave reader function independently without a master reader?
A: No, a slave reader is designed to work in conjunction with a master reader or access control system. It relies on the master reader or system for authentication and access control decisions.
Q: Can multiple slave readers be connected to a single master reader?
A: Yes, in many cases, multiple slave readers can be connected to a single master reader or access control system. This allows for the expansion of access control coverage to multiple entry points or areas within a facility.
Q: Can slave readers be integrated with other security systems?
A: Yes, slave readers can be integrated with other security systems such as CCTV cameras, alarm systems, or intercoms to create a comprehensive security solution. Integration allows for centralized management and control of various security components. It's important to ensure compatibility and consult with the system provider for integration options and requirements.
