Introduction
Installers and integrators of access control systems have to navigate many challenges. Just some of the factors that add stress to projects include highly complex ecosystems, tedious and long-winded setup procedures, and the climbing costs of hardware. What if you could eliminate all those challenges in one go? That’s where ATRIUM access control comes in. In this article, I’ll show you how ATRIUM puts you in control by making installations quicker, easier, and cheaper with carefully designed innovation.
Efficient system architecture
When you think about an access control system, you probably imagine one ACU (access control unit) controlling every door. And that also means you need to find space to store all of those units in a safe, secure location. With one controller for every door, that can add up to a lot of space, particularly on a large site.
With ATRIUM, things are different. Every ACU controls two doors. And that includes both read in only and read in, read out setups. It’s always two doors per controller. That simple change means you need half as many controllers, and half as much space to install them. At scale, that makes a very big difference.
Making installations simpler
Imagine if you could half the amount of time it takes you to fit all the ACUs needed for your project. With ATRIUM’s two doors per controller architecture, that’s reality. Plus, there’s a lot less wiring, with fewer spurs and networks to install. As we all know, chasing and laying cables can add a lot of time to a project. I doubt anyone would complain at the opportunity to reduce that.
Reducing costs for your customers
Access control installations are competitive. One way to guarantee some more wins is to offer lower costs to prospective customers. With half as many controllers and a lot less time spent on wiring, ATRIUM delivers big savings for you and for your customers.
Scaling up with ease
As we’ve already seen, ATRIUM access control is quicker, more efficient, and less costly to install. And all those factors contribute to a solution that’s easy to scale up or down as needed. When a business grows and takes on larger premises, it’s one less thing to worry about if the access control system can grow with them.

Then, in ATRIUM Finder, the auto-detect feature quickly locates the ACU and with a single click, directs you to the ATRIUM login page for that controller. It’s quick and simple, and means you can get on with your job unimpeded.
Saving time and saving costs
ATRIUM makes installing and configuring access control quicker and easier. And that saves everybody money. The two-door controller architecture means reduced hardware costs. And, because there’s half as many ACUs, it means wiring and installing them takes less time. That’s a big labour cost saving that you can pass on to your customers, along with a much less disruptive installation process. And for you? Quicker installations means you can pack more of them into each month. Everyone’s a winner!
