Access Control Install

Overview

The VALT software can work in conjunction with RFID or pincode weigand cards and readers. One of the main advantages to using the card readers is it gives the users a simple way to start and stop recordings while maintaining a level of security. Cards numbers are assigned to users so the system knows who started and stopped the recordings. To use weigand readers with the valt system you will need Axis A10001 controllers. See controller instructions for specifics regarding wiring readers to the controller. Valt specific installation instructions are detailed below.
