I’m pretty sure you could also just smash the glass and walk in too ☺ But the door strike on mine does go back to the controller I believe, so you couldn’t just jimmy the keypad wiring.
Not really a high security scenario since my idea was to theoretically be able to pay $5 and enter (then walk out with anything you like I guess).

If I remember right, I could rip the keypad off and touch brown to red to open the door based on the wiring diagram.

Here is what I did so far: I bought a controller board off of eBay that does the standard protocol used by the strike. I bought the strike off ebay too. I bought a keypad controller off eBay. The controller came with a small locking box, and has room for a battery backup and can use PoE. The whole thing cost less than $500 I think. I used Ethernet to connect the box to my switch and to the strike and keypad. The controller has a simple web interface you log on to and then add/remove door codes. I did have to interpret some Chinese manuals to figure out the pinouts for everything, but it works as expected. What I have left to do is map the private IP of the controller to a public IP and firewall it. And then I wanted to write a service/web api to it so I could use a up to date 'normal' API access to add/remove door codes. Let me know if you want more details. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Josh Reynolds Sent: Monday, March 28, 2016 4:53 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] door access control I'm dying here. Every single system I can find is shit or costs an arm and a leg, to the point where I'm considering starting a company to make a better system. I just need an embedded, web based, IP access control system. It needs to be able to control the individual door access controllers to electronic striker or maglock to the keypad. POE here is best. If it requires software running on a windows PC then I don't want anything to do with it, even for those of you who are like "put it in a vm"... no. Those resources are reserved for properly functioning operation systems (and LXC containers!). I've got 3 doors at one location, then 2 more doors at 2 other locations. If it has a mobile app, that's even better. I've installed a couple of HID Global and DoorKing systems in the past and nothing about this is hard, but the chinese systems are only made for a single location. Any suggestions?
