These devices read access credentials presented by users. Whether it’s a card, key fob, biometric data, or a mobile device, access control readers authenticate the credentials and send the information to the access control panel for validation.

Experience smarter, seamless access with ICT
Effortless Mobile Access Control
Equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology and NFC capability, our TSL readers work with the Protege Mobile App and ICT Mobile Credentials, enabling you to unlock doors using a smartphone.
Why the TSL Card Reader is a top choice
Latest access control technology
Available with 13.56MHz smart card capability (for DESFire credentials), or as a multi technology reader that combines both high and low tech capabilities in a single unit, the TSL range delivers maximum compatibility while providing a path forward to the latest technology.
For communication, RS-485 connections are fast, flexible, and secure. Or, make use of the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) or Wiegand for compatibility across all standard access control systems. RS-485 is easier and more cost effective to wire, provides the added benefits of AES-256 encryption, and allows direct integration with Protege systems enabling you to make changes on the fly once readers are installed.
Status at a glance
With 16 different colors of your choice available, the configurable LEDs provide clear visual feedback. As well as simply showing whether a door is locked or unlocked, LEDs can be programmed to provide a visual status, such as a solid purple LED to indicate an area is disarmed, or a flashing orange and red LED to indicate the area is in alarm.
Durable and robust
The fully encapsulated design and IP65 environmental rating provides a high degree of protection from the elements.
An optional vandal resistant cover provides even greater durability and protection against malicious damage, while acting as an anti-ligature measure for an additional level of safety.
Door Reader Range
With a range of sizes and features to suit, there's a reader model for everyone. Not sure where to start? Compare the full options.
Optional Reader Accessories
Designed to withstand some of the harshest settings, the vandal resistant covers are ideal for locations where a card reader may be exposed to damage, including corridors, parking buildings, correctional facilities, and other public places. The card holder (compatible with the tSec Extra) enables you to improve health and safety, provide machine management, and maximize energy efficiency by requiring an authorized user to be present at all times.
Proximity Cards and Fobs
ICT manufactures a range of cards and fobs for the 125kHz and MIFARE/DESFire range of products including multiple technology cards (with low and high frequency technology in one card). While certain scenarios can continue to benefit from prox card implementation, it’s important to be aware of the limitations of 125kHz technology. We currently recommend a DESFire solution due to the industry leading security it offers.
