Camlock Systems have designed a Smart Integration Hub for controlling multiple locks. The new ACS-200 is the latest launch from their rapidly expanding access control range. The ACS-200 is a hardware system, designed to simplify the control and installation of multiple locks.

It achieves this by enabling the user to control multiple locks and external devices from one single point. Up to 10 locks can be plugged into one Hub, freeing up space and time used for installation. Thanks to the engineering of the ACS-200, it’s compatible with a variety of programming languages and operating systems. Simple software integration reduces the required set-up time.

Controlling multiple locks

The ACS-200 allows a single control board to be housed separately from each lock, allowing for time and cost savings during the build process. The flexibility of the ACS-200 grants greater abilities than just controlling multiple locks, the integrated I/O ports and alarm/relay output allow for an enhanced, smarter locking solution.

This can be achieved by using ethernet cables to connect hubs to one network switch

Each ACS-200 follows commands from external software; which enables control of up to 10 locks, as well as alarms, lights, and sensors from one location. These can be controlled individually, in a sequence or simultaneously. Should there be a greater need than 10 locks, the system can be expanded by connecting multiple units to the same network. This can be achieved by using ethernet cables to connect hubs to one network switch.

Reducing build costs

Product features of ACS-200 are as follows:

  • Different connection options - The ACS-200 can be connected via ethernet cable (TCP or UDP), USB, or both.
  • Multi-lock control - Allows for the control of multiple locks, from one single point.
  • External integration opportunities - Built-in dedicated I/O and alarm/relay ports allow for integration of peripherals such as lights, sensors, and alarms.
  • Quick and easy installation - Easy installation cuts down set-up time and allows for all locks to be connected to one single point, reducing build costs.
  • Extended warranty - Camlock Systems standard two-year warranty on electronic locking and access control products.
