Bolan - Leading Security Turnstile Gate Manufacturer & Supplier Since 2011
Can turnstile gates integrate with existing access control systems?
Yes. Bolan turnstile gates can integrate with most existing access control systems, including RFID card readers, QR code scanners, fingerprint and facial recognition terminals, NFC devices, biometric systems, and other third-party access control platforms.
Bolan turnstiles are designed with flexible control interfaces, including dry contact, RS232 and RS485, while selected models can also be customized with TCP/IP or other communication interfaces to meet specific integration requirements. This allows the turnstile to work as the physical access point within an existing security system rather than requiring a complete replacement of the customer's current access control infrastructure.
For example, the BLS-HS321 speed gate uses an intelligent PLC control system and can be configured for integration with external access control equipment. Bolan's flap barrier turnstile and swing gate turnstile models also support linkage with external access control systems and customized access logic.
For OEM and ODM projects, Bolan can further customize the control interface, access logic, transmission system, appearance and functional configuration according to the customer's existing system and project requirements. This makes the turnstiles suitable for office buildings, commercial complexes, airports, transportation hubs, factories, campuses, stadiums and other controlled-entry environments.
What access control systems can Bolan turnstiles connect to?
Depending on the model and project requirements, Bolan turnstiles can work with:
- RFID and proximity card readers
- QR code and barcode scanners
- Fingerprint and other biometric readers
- Facial recognition terminals
- NFC devices
- Time attendance systems
- Third-party access control controllers
- Visitor management systems
- Customized security management platforms
What interfaces are available?
Standard interfaces may include dry contact, RS232 and RS485, some modles has TCP/IP interface, and other communication interfaces can be customized for specific projects. The exact interface and communication protocol should be confirmed according to the selected turnstile model and the customer's existing access control system.
Do customers need to replace their existing access control system?
Usually, no. The turnstile can be used as the physical barrier while the existing card reader, biometric terminal, QR scanner or access controller continues to handle user authentication. After authorization, the access control system sends an opening signal to the turnstile controller.
For projects requiring deeper system-level integration, Bolan can evaluate the existing access control architecture and provide an OEM/ODM integration solution based on the required interface, communication method and access logic.
