This module is a network electronic access control system designed for Hotels. This software module is integrated with Duralock access control system hardware produced by CDS Worldwide. It replaces the existing access control system HLSI and is backward compatible so that an existing site can be easily upgraded.
Each door is fitted with an electronic lock that is mains powered. In the event of power failure the lock obtains its power from a battery pack. Each lock is wired back to central server.
