Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM) vs. HID SAFE

There are simpler systems out there for card access. The simpler systems are not as granular. There a lot of card access pieces to ACM. ACM also requires a server so if you want a cloud based solution, this is not an option. It's best if you have staff or a local company to support the hardware and software.

If you have turnstile before entry point. use it. Just make sure that you have regular fire drills and see that the deactivation of turnstile works fine. Otherwise it can create a havoc at the time of emergency. Biggest problem lies when there is outside huddle and people are coming back. Since everyone has to touch the card to access in, it takes a lot of time of the queue to enter.

Some systems out there are not too granular. They also lacked integration with Google, which we need. With that being said ACM can sometimes make setup too complicated. Double-tap cards for instance take many steps to set up. In other systems it's a one-click setup. ACM is also compatible with Mercury boards. This is a big reason to choose ACM because the boards are not proprietary.
