A standalone access control reader is, as the name implies, a standalone device. This means that all of the parts and smarts are within the device at the door and are not distributed across the site. This results in a reduction of costs otherwise associated to cabling, conduit and increased installation or labor costs. For some environments, such as independent stores or schools which may have lower budget allocations for security, these cost savings are often the number one reason standalone readers are selected over a fully networked access control system.

Standalone or “offline” access control readers have emerged as a viable option for many organizations needing to secure a facility. Standalone access control readers, like the one shown in Figure 1, are different from typical “online” readers. Offline readers are not wired back to an access control panel, nor are they connected to or controlled over a network. Instead, these readers are programmed locally and internally record and store an audit of door access history data. This data can be retrieved at a later time by manually connecting to the reader using a handheld gateway device. Therefore, real-time programming and monitoring of these readers is not possible. Although a lack of real-time programming and monitoring may render this type of reader difficult to utilize for certain organizations, there are applications which fit specific users’ needs. Standalone readers often provide a cost effective, architecturally sensitive, and viable access control solution.
