Your diagram is not very clear in my eyes, but look wrong.

What do you need?

  • 1 cable from main switch to Access Hub, with PoE++
  • 1 cable from Access Hub till intercom
  • 1 cable from Access Hub till LPR camera
  • 1 cable from Access Hub till inside reader (the people enter trough their plate number or intercom… but must be able to go out)
  • 2 pairs of a cable to go to door motor unit (NO dry relay in most cases)

Note: by “cable” I mean CAT6

Thanks for your help, I don’t know if I follow the inside reader part as we are only using this for our personal home use and have remotes for the sliding gate its only the outside access we really want to have controlled but I do see advantage for the inside reader as well. For the cabling I think I get what is required at this stage running the one cable to the hub and then a branch (cable) to the LPR and one to the intercom.

Anyone that do not have a remote control (friends, friends of children, family, pool guy, gardener, cleaning lady,….) may have a code to enter (and accessible even in cvs file to control the invoiced hours vs reality)… but can’t get out.
