1 How it works

SAFR SCAN integrates into your existing Physical Access Control System (PAC). SAFR SCAN is mounted next to the door and connected to the PAC Panel via Wiegand or OSDP as shown in the graphic below.

Graphical user interface

Description automatically generated

SAFR SCAN sends the user credentials to the PACS Panel when a valid user appears at the door. The PACS Panel then evaluates if the user should be granted access based on their access clearances and if so, unlocks the door. For situations where a PACS Panel is not practical, SAFR SCAN can also unlock a door directly via the door latch Relay.

Users and their credentials are added to SAFR SCAN via the PACS software. As users and credentials are added or updated in the PACS software, SAFR automatically updates the local database on each SAFR SCAN reader with the latest user records to maintain synchronization with the PACS software.

In addition to the basic PACS integration, SAFR SCAN also supports the following:

  • Enrollment from device, from an image file or webcam
  • BLE reader to support Mobile Credentials and Universal RF Card Reader
  • IR and white light projectors for low light environments
  • Direct camera control for extreme back light environments
  • RTSP Output for integration to VMS
  • Tailgating detection, person counting and more
