I've been doing research on access and security options and have come across a range of digital locks made by Samsung. They are called the SHS range.
Has anyone come across these or used them in their place? The one I'm looking at (SHS-3320) accepts digital pass code, RFID, NFC or key card. It can even accept up to 70 users which will be more than enough for my space. The only downside I can see so far with this system is that it isn't networked so it can't tell me who or when someone has used their keypass to enter the office. Any other solutions I should look into? On Tuesday, July 23, 2013 12:21:02 PM UTC+10, Sean Qian wrote: > > Hi Jerome, > > Cheers for the detailed responses.
