Description
Need a standalone access controller that handles up to 250 tenants, supports proximity card readers, and programs from any touch-tone phone — without needing a dedicated computer or complex software? The Viking ES-1 delivers all of that in a compact unit that works with any standard 26-bit Wiegand card reader or keypad.
The ES-1 supports card-only, keypad-only, or card plus keypad mode for maximum security flexibility. One-time visitor codes let authorized users grant temporary access without issuing permanent credentials. LOG BUS data output records entry events for audit purposes, and non-volatile memory retains all settings without batteries.
Our Expert Take: The ES-1 is a strong fit for small to mid-size facilities that need Wiegand-based access control without investing in a full networked access system. Compatible with Viking PRX-2, PRX-3, and HID-2 readers. For multi-door expansion, add ES-3 controllers.
