wise.

Hi All,

This is slightly OT as it's not 'home' automation per se, rather
business automation but I hope you all don't mind that.

I'm am trying to find a means of controlling access to a building (and
rooms
within) via a swipe/barcode/proximity card type solution. All very off
the shelf so far perhaps but I'd like to be able to interface this
system with a server that contains the details of people allowed access.
Ideally this would be bi-directional so that the server could push the
list of valid users of a daily or hourly basis (people would have set
periods when they are entitled to access the system) to the door entry
system and pull off a log of accesses.

The server will be a Linux box so Windows solutions don't really help
much but as long as the entry system has a standard protocol and
interface I don't mind knocking something up so the software doesn't
have to be there as such, just the capability to do it. Ideally some
kind of real-time response would be great so I can interface with a
ZoneMinder installation and label the recorded events with the name of
the people coming and going but this is not an absolute requirement.

Anyone have any experience of this kind of thing?

Cheers,

Phil,
