Publication number: 20210049845Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods relate to a smart access control reader for an access control system. According to embodiments, a method can include installing the smart access control reader to the access control system by connecting the smart access control reader to the access control system via wiring of the access control system. The method can also include receiving, by the smart access control reader, one or more first credentials for authenticating one or more users by the access control system. The method can further include determining, by the smart access control reader, that the one or more first credentials are authorized. Moreover, the method can include transmitting, by the smart access control reader, a second credential to an access control panel of the access control system, in response to a request by a first user to access an area monitored by the access control system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Luke Andrew SCHOENFELDER, Michael Brian JONES, Thomas MEYERHOFFER, Ali Akbar HUSSAIN, Ivan Almaral SOLE, Travis HOLT, James GRISZBACHER
