At EMX, we offer a wide array of premier access control solutions, including high-quality monitored and non-monitored systems designed to be more reliable and user-friendly while delivering the same strong capabilities you require. Though both system types offer an enhanced level of security and performance, they differ based on the operators they’re compatible with and the communication protocol that occurs if a system fails. Non-monitored access control solutions also offer unique advantages in their cost-effectiveness and installation requirements.
Non-monitored access control products provide a streamlined solution to access control, with a quicker setup, fewer compatibility requirements, and a plug-and-play nature that gets your system running in no time. Read on to explore how they differ from monitored options, which EMX photoeyes are best for your application, and what makes us the perfect partner for your access control needs.
Understanding Non-Monitored Access Control
A key difference between the monitored and non-monitored access control solutions is their communication protocols in the event of failure. If a monitored system stops operating, what it’s connected to will know that it failed. This adds a fail-safe that can be valuable for some applications, but it also adds complexity to the compatibility of your total system because every component must be compatible for proper monitoring.
Non-monitored systems don’t have a communication protocol to inform users of a failure and are not UL325-2018 compliant. They do not require the same compatibility needs as monitoring counterparts, making them even more easy to integrate into existing systems. They’re also naturally easy to install and highly user-friendly, offering a plug-and-play experience that allows users to get them in action without delay.
At EMX, we offer a variety of monitored and non-monitored solutions, some of which are flexible enough to be used in both ways.
