How To Set Up an Access Control System: Complete Step-By-Step Guide for Beginners

If you've never set up access control before, the hardest part is getting started. That’s why we made this video, to guide you through every step you need to take to install your first access control system today.

If you’re interested in Access Control, but you’re spending all your time online reading blog posts and watching YouTube videos about it, I have some good news for you. This is the last video you’ll ever have to watch before you finally jump in and set up that very first access control system.

Or maybe you’ve thought about jumping into access control, but there are just too many hurdles, too many obstacles in the way. Well, I have some good news for you, too. This video will help you look past those obstacles and just get started.

Here is the major premise of this video: start! Get your feet wet. Sure, if you’re looking at an 84 door access control system, you’re going to be pretty nervous about your first access control system. But before you can install an 84 door access control system, you have to start with just one. One door. One customer. One installation.

That's why we recommend the ZKTeco Atlas Series Single Door Installation Kit (Atlas 100-1) for all beginners wanting to set up their very first access control system.

So here’s our challenge to you, should you choose to accept it. Watch this entire video, beginning to end. All 30 minutes of it.

But don’t just watch it. We give you some very actionable advice in this video and invite you to act on it. So follow along with us, and by the end of the video, you’ll be completely ready for your very first installation.

What happens after that? Start from the beginning and do it all over again. Consider this video your access control training wheels. Use this process as many times as you need to until you become totally comfortable with setting up a single-door access control system. Then when you’re ready to move on, just keep taking it one step, and one door, at a time.

There’s a lot to learn when it comes to Access Control. And if you want to cram all that knowledge into your brain before getting started, then this is not the video for you.

If, on the other hand, you’re tired of reading about Access Control, if you’re tired of watching other people install access control systems, and if you’re ready to finally start that new business venture you've been looking into, then you’ve come to the right place. Sit back, grab some paper and a pen for notes, and take that first step with us today.

I work for a security company and honestly am bored of installing our security panels. Next steps to go is CCTV and Access control. It definitely doesn't look bad but I'm sure it's probably harder than CCTV since this involves fishing the door frame. Decisions decisions. Thanks for the intro to access control!

Is there a multidoor video? If you have multiple controllers do you have to program each key to each controller? How would you setup dual card readers for each door?

[jorgesandoval]

can you please do videos on galaxy access control system, how configure main board , I like watching and learn from. your videos

[mgrant]

I read that the Data cable pair for the card reader needs to be shielded and twisted. If I used regular 18/2 unshielded, will I have issues?
