The Advantages of MLR
MLR can be used in a wide range of applications, including single and double doors, as well as on double egress doors. MLR typically operates on low power consumption, making it less costly to operate and safer than standard solenoid-driven latch retraction products.
With a low amperage requirement (generally under 1 AMP), MLR operates smoothly and very quietly. MLR devices can be paired with an ADA operator for single or double door openings. What’s more, most MLR options are compatible with fire-rated doors, which is crucial for employee and public safety.

Physical Security Hat Trick
Imagine a system that manages access control, video and intercoms seamlessly without needing to install and maintain multiple servers and worry about compatibility. Imagine having a single application that is simple to integrate and provides robust functionality that’s easy to use. You can in fact, effectively manage video, communicate to your intercoms and tie in access events from a single platform and have the assurance that it will be your trusted and reliable total solution for many years to come.
Providing reliable, controlled access to facilities you help protect is the gateway to a fully secured system. The AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller was built to be that gatekeeper. The open, non-proprietary platform for access management was created with all business needs and sizes in mind. The AXIS A1001 is plenum rated and designed to be mounted on a wall or in the ceiling directly above the door. Powered via PoE, it reduces the need for running multiple cables to a head end location, which can significantly diminish the expense of cabling. Working hand-in-hand with intercoms and cameras, AXIS A1001 can be integrated with existing and future third-party software and other solutions offered by any of Axis’s 700+ partners, making it a valuable part of a total solution for access control.
Network Video Door Station offers twoway communication, identification and remote entry control that can integrate with most existing surveillance installations. Along with its smaller-sized counterpart, the AXIS 8105-E, the units are ONVIF compliant and provide SIP support to easily connect to existing IP networks and uses PoE to enable installation with a single network cable. The door systems were created with your business needs in mind, understanding that easy and efficient integration would reduce both time and financial investment in creating a full solution to your access control needs.
The cord that ties it all together, Axis Camera Station (ACS) is a Video Management Software (VMS) that easily integrates all aspects of your physical security solution. ACS is ONVIF compatible, allowing cameras to be managed on a single network so that a user, at the click of a button, can view live and recorded video. The software can be installed on remote computers, and was designed with a focus on ease of use and intuitive, remote operation and control management of incidents, providing users with peace of mind, no matter where they are.
Controlling who can enter a premises is a vital component of access control but so is being able to know who, and what is there. Our IP-based door station, the AXIS A8004-VE
You don’t need to imagine the reliability and ease of use that comes with having a robust, integrated system that easily combines video, access control and intercom, and having a single platform solution that manages it all. The total solution is ready for your next physical security installation, provided to you by a name you trust.
Motorized Latch Retraction
An Exit Device Option Providing Peace of Mind & Peace and Quiet
As safety, security, and end-users’ needs remain in the forefront of developers’ and property owners’ minds, door hardware manufacturers need to stay vigilant in their efforts to design new—and improve existing—products and components. Motorized Latch Retraction (MLR) is one innovation that has helped satisfy all three top-of-mind concerns.
Dormakaba exit devices are designed and manufactured to meet emergency egress codes and ADA requirements. Our top of the line 9000 Series device offers the Motorized Latch Retraction (MLR) option.
What Is MLR And Why Was It Developed?
MLR provides electronic control of an exit device via a quiet motor. It was created as an option for use in noise-sensitive environments that need the security of access control. Functioning very quietly, it’s an ideal solution for facilities such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, museums, theaters, libraries, and child care centers.
How Does MLR Work?
In an MLR-equipped exit device, the concealed motor inside the device’s rail draws in the touch bar. This action retracts the latch, allowing the door to open. This sequence is activated upon presentation of a valid credential previously entered into the access control peripheral such as a card reader or keypad. MLR exits can also be integrated with access control systems and peripherals (remotely or locally) to have latches held retracted (“dogged”) electronically during non-secure hours.

MLR can be used in a wide range of applications, including single and double doors, as well as on double egress doors. MLR typically operates on low power consumption, making it less costly to operate and safer than standard solenoid-driven latch retraction products.

Aiphone Lighting the Way to Security Solutions
Emergency stations are beacons of safety on college campuses and in parking facilities, stairwells, elevators, as well as office and industrial complexes — places where people may need immediate assistance from first responders.
The push of a button provides a two-way link using audio or video intercoms built into stand-alone towers or wall boxes. This is where Aiphone, the pioneer and leader in intercom technology, plays an important role. Since the mid 1980s, Aiphone has continued to innovate and advance intercom technology. The company’s current IS and IX Series emergency towers are the results of Aiphone’s commitment to quality design.
Aiphone’s IS Series can be hardwired, connected over a network or combined in a hybrid system. The IS Series emergency stations integrate with various building security components for greater overall system functionality.
The robust IP-based IX Series expands security and communications along a network. IX Series stations connect via CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable, drawing power from the Ethernet (PoE). An Aiphone mobile app for smartphones and tablets provides additional flexibility and allows communication while on the facilities’ Wi-Fi.
First responders can instantly locate station calls. Audio is crisp and unbroken. Video is crystal-clear without frustrating transmission errors. A wide angle color lens captures a broad view identifying views of adults and children.
Any camera is only as good as the monitor displaying the video. Aiphone master stations are equipped with 3.5-inch direct-view TFT color LCD displays. The TFT technology provides the brightest and best resolution of all flat-panel techniques, helping to improve image resolution and addressability.
Emergency stations feature two call buttons — one for emergencies and another for non-critical calls — helping first responders focus their resources. Station-mounted speakers are available to broadcast emergency news. All Aiphone emergency stations are ADA compliant. Towers can be customized
by size, color, configuration and signage.
But Aiphone does not stop at quality product design and manufacturing processes. Do you have a customer who wants to see the product in use? No problem. Tell the sales team when and where you need to demonstrate an emergency station and an Aiphone Expert will be there to help you close the sale.
Aiphone’s QuikSpec design tool, available on the company’s website, easily and accurately helps design and assemble complete Aiphone emergency stations. The number of options makes it easy to overlook a tower component, mounting bolt, power supply or accessory and leaving equipment off a bid results in lost profits. Aiphone products can ship via UPS, saving costly freight forwarding charges.
Aiphone’s innovative modular tower design ensures easy installation. Each rugged, steel-bodied module weighs only 90 pounds, allowing them to be transported in a truck or van, moved using a hand truck and installed by two people. There is no need to rent an expensive crane to lift them into place.
Any concerns during installation are handled by Aiphone’s award-winning, North American technical support team. Team members can be reached by phone or through the QuikChat link on the website.
Aiphone has decades of success in the intercom market. When choosing an Aiphone emergency station, you are backed by the industry’s leading design, service, support and reliability manufacturer.
