MICROgarde® entry level range of networkable products allow you to enjoy many of the benefits of much bigger systems, without the need for a big budget.

MICROgarde®'s ease of installation, reduced cost of ownership and competitive pricing make it simply the best value and most practical access control solutions available.

The free Microsoft Windows® based PC software provides support for a network of up to 200 MICROgarde® controllers. It features some very handy tools such as automatic detection of the connected controllers, unlimited user definable holidays, full context-sensitive help system, automatic fire door relase and timesheet reports.

MICROgarde® offers unrivalled flexibility. All controllers feature distributed intelligence (which is battery backed) meaning that the controller operates and makes decisions even when communication to the host PC is lost. In this situation, events are stored within the controller until such time as communication is restored.Stored events will be uploaded to the host PC with no loss of transaction data. If you need more inputs and outputs for interfacing to, for example, intruder panels or building management systems, then an optional I/O module is available which is fitted onto the controller board.

For installers there are many useful features that have been designed into MICROgarde® that significantly reduce effort and time and hence cost. Fristly a colour coded label shows all of the connections to MICROgarde®. So if you are using a TDSi eXprox reader, connection could not be simpler! The controller features flash memory allowing for simple software upgrades using a PC meaning that you can always be up to date with the latest improvements and enhancements that we have to offer. MICROgarde® is also clever enough to resolve issues with the cables of the RS-485 network being incorrectly wired. If you prefer to connect the controller to your existing IT network via TCP/IP we can offer an optional module that allows you to do that as well. This fits onto the board for a clean and tidy installation.
