STP-DG500 Standalone Proximity and PIN Reader Door Access Control

A standalone access control reader provides complete single-door access control without any additional hardware beyond the reader itself, the door lock, and the power supply. Credentials (proximity card, keyfob, or PIN) are enrolled and managed directly on the reader, and the reader’s relay output controls the door lock without routing through an external panel.

The STP-DG500 accepts both proximity card/keyfob and PIN code credentials, providing flexibility in the access method for different users or as a dual-factor authentication option where both card and PIN are required for entry. This flexibility suits environments where some users are issued with proximity cards while others rely on a PIN.

Standalone operation is the correct specification for single-door applications: a small office, a server room, a storage area, or a single-door entry point where only one door is access-controlled and the cost and complexity of a networked multi-door system is not justified. For installations with multiple doors, a networked panel with multiple readers is the appropriate specification instead.

The STP-DG500 is differentiated from the ACC-CUCCTV-KIT1 kit, which includes the reader alongside a maglock and bracket. The DG500 is the reader component alone, for installers who already have the door hardware or who are selecting hardware components independently.

For access control engineers completing single-door standalone reader installations across London and the UK, the STP-DG500 provides the proximity and PIN access control reader without the cost and complexity of a full panel system.
