The AHSC-1000 is an enterprise-grade hybrid security controller designed for high-capacity access control, biometric verification, and elevator management in mission-critical environments. Capable of functioning as a primary controller or edge door unit, it features dual 100Base-TX Ethernet ports with port failover, dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac/n), and Bluetooth 5.2. The controller supports up to 800,000 card credentials, 400,000 mobile credentials (BLE, NFC, Dynamic QR), 100,000 biometric templates (fingerprint and face), and an extensive 5,000,000 event transaction buffer.
Engineered for extensive scalability, the AHSC-1000 directly manages 1 on-board access point (supporting up to 2 readers via OSDP v2.2 with AES-128 encryption or Wiegand formats up to 128-bit) and expands to manage up to 32 TCP/IP or 24 RS-485 door unit modules. In fully expanded configurations, it can control up to 129 access points, 258 readers, 12,801 inputs/outputs, and up to 128 floors for elevator control systems. Hardware security is built around an EAL 6+ certified crypto chip, 256-bit AES encryption for controller-to-server and inter-controller communications, TLS 1.2, and 802.1X network authentication.
For power and deployment, the unit operates via PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or 12–24 VDC ($\le$ 550 mA max power draw, excluding reader current). It features 4-state supervised inputs, a Form-C dry contact relay, and an integrated webserver for configuration, diagnostics, and dual-firmware swapping. Built to operate in extreme environments from -30 °C to 70 °C (0% to 95% RH non-condensing), the AHSC-1000 holds UL294, IEC EN/BS EN 60839 Grade 4, CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, and integrates seamlessly with the Armatura-One Security System.
