Secure access without complex infrastructure

Protecting a building - whether it's a house, a residential building, an industrial site or an office block - is an essential challenge. Among the solutions available, stand-alone access control is a simple, effective and flexible solution. Unlike centralized systems, these devices operate without a computer network, enabling completely autonomous local access management.

What is a stand-alone access control system?

A stand-alone access control system combines all the functions needed to secure a door, gate or premises in a single device. The administrator can register authorized users directly via a keypad, RFID badge, radio transmitter or smartphone application.

Key benefits :

  • No dependence on external servers or software,
  • Quick installation, without complex network cabling,
  • Data stored locally for enhanced security,
  • Add or remove users in real time on 4G devices.

Who is autonomous access control designed for?

Stand-alone systems are particularly suitable for small to medium-sized structures, such as :

  • Small collective residences,
  • Garages and parking lots,
  • Professional or technical premises,
  • Warehouses, workshops, association premises.

Thanks to their simplicity, they are the perfect answer to security needs , without the need for a heavy infrastructure.

Simplified, cost-effective installation

One of the main advantages of stand-alone access control is its rapid commissioning. With no need to connect to a computer network, installation is simplified and costs kept under control. It's the ideal solution for those looking for a secure, practical and cost-effective system.

Flexible, responsive management

Whether by badge, code, transmitter or smartphone, means of access can be easily assigned, modified or revoked at any time. This enables immediate adaptation to user changes: new employees, occasional visitors, departures, etc.

Examples of Prastel solutions: simplicity and technology
