Verkada AC12 door controller
Single-door controller for one door, gate or barrier. It runs on PoE, so it can sit in a ceiling void near the door, can power a camera through PoE passthrough, and takes an in and an out reader.

How we install the AC12
Door hardware, cabling, power and the fire alarm interface are all done by our own electricians, so one contractor is responsible for the door working. We set up doors, schedules and credentials in Command and train whoever manages them.
Other access control models: AC43, AC62, AX11, AD34, AD64, AF64. See all on Verkada access control or the model guide.
