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).

Also, pretty sure the one you have... If I remember right, I could rip the 
keypad off and touch brown to red to open the door based on the wiring diagram.

I've had the same problem.

The local alarm company wanted like $3-4k for a two door install, lol!

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.

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?
