Wall Readers & Terminals

DOM UK provides a selection of wired wall readers designed to fit a range of security needs. Some of these models are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, offering secure, energy-efficient access control with minimal cabling. These PoE-enabled wall readers can control external doors in combination with magnetic or electronic locks, and can also be used for car park barriers, lifts, or as network update points. For locations where PoE isn’t required, DOM UK also offers alternative wired wall readers, ensuring compatibility with diverse building management systems.

These modern wall readers feature green/red visual signals, making them intuitive and easy to use, while delivering optimal security. Our wired wall readers can be seamlessly integrated into any building management system, whether using PoE for efficiency or conventional power supply for flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a wall reader/terminal?

A wall reader is an essential component of an access control system, designed to read credentials like RFID keycards, biometric data, or other identification methods. It validates access and either grants or denies entry to secured areas. Some of DOM UK’s models are PoE-enabled, reducing the need for separate power cables and making installation quicker and easier.

2. Where can a wall reader/terminal be used?

Wall readers are versatile and commonly used in hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, offices, and health centres. They can also manage access to additional systems, like car park barriers and lifts, providing total security across premises.

3. What is the difference between the reader types?

DOM UK offers various wall reader types:

Compact readers integrate the controller and transponder reading in one unit, ideal for small systems.

HiSec readers offer flexibility with separate reading units supporting up to three readers, suited for complex systems.

Terminal readers combine controller and transponder functions in one housing and are designed for locations that need flexible authorisation periods.

4. What is the purpose of a wall reader in access control?

Wall readers authenticate access by reading credentials, ensuring that only authorised individuals can enter restricted areas. They also serve as network update points for user data, battery conditions, and access rights.

5. How do wall readers help with network updates?

Wall readers act as network update points, ensuring that user data, access rights, and system settings are always up-to-date. With PoE-enabled models, this can be achieved with minimal cabling, providing an efficient solution for network management. Non-PoE models also provide the same functionality, ensuring that your access control system remains current and secure.
