Anviz has officially launched its new OSDP (Open Supervisory Device Protocol) enabled access control solution, the SAC921 Access Controller.

The company notes that its goal is to ‘improve the shortcomings of legacy access control systems while enabling bi-directional, secure data interactions between systems and components.’

Since security is at the core of the OSDP access control protocol, modern OSDP-equipped access control systems and devices encrypt data and provide bi-directional communication, making them more secure and giving them greater application power and flexibility.

Key advantages

Anviz OSDP-enabled devices can be deployed on legacy RS-485 networks, so site impact on infrastructure is reduced.

When installed, Anviz products offer data encryption for the highest data security, controller status monitoring at a glance and visual feedback during user interaction.

Support for Wiegand and OSDP

The SAC921 Access Controller supports legacy Wiegand readers and C2KA-OSDP readers.

Each door cassette on the SAC921 has connection points for legacy Wiegand and OSDP Anviz readers for maximum installed or new site support.
