AMAG Technology, an access control, IP video and intrusion detection (IDS) solution provider, is now your source for retrofit solutions.  Announcing the new Symmetry Retrofit (SR) Controllers, designed for new installations, as well as for customers who are facing a security system limitation or end-of-life scenario with a competitor’s product.  AMAG’s SR Controllers enable a customer to upgrade their aging or discontinued security management system easily and affordably, and protect their current infrastructure investment by reusing existing cards, readers and wiring.

The SR Controllers use a pluggable backplane architecture efficiently designed into a compact enclosure.  The controllers are fully interoperable with Symmetry’s multiNODE M2150 and EN series of controllers, so the ideal architecture can be used within a customer’s environment.  The SR Controllers support up to 16 card readers and easily expands using plug-in door controller and I/O modules, allowing fast, cost effective installations or retrofits for any size system.  Each SR Controller has onboard memory for 200,000 card holders, but there is no limit to the number of card holders a Symmetry Security Management System can support. With Symmetry Security Management Software, the SR Controller range delivers a seamless security management system to protect facilities small and large, while leveraging the customer’s current infrastructure investment and providing a low total cost of ownership.
