Verkada's access control system supports the popular Wiegand protocol for badge readers which encompasses most of the Human Interface Device (HID) and similar readers deployed today. Verkada also supports Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) through Verkada and third-party badge readers.
The AC41 does not support voltage above 7V on the D0/D1 ports.
How it works
Wiegand
Wiegand badge readers generally have 6 outputs:
+ (Positive)
- (Negative)
D0
D1
RLED
GLED
Each of these outputs has a corresponding input on each AC41 door cartridge, as shown in the highlighted section of this door cartridge diagram. Each input has its label directly to the left.
OSDP
OSDP badge readers have 4 outputs:
+ (Positive)
- (Negative)
A
B
Similar to Wiegand, each of these outputs has a corresponding input on each AC41 door cartridge, as shown in the highlighted section of this door cartridge diagram. Each input has its label to the left of the Wiegand labels.
Once wired, the badge reader is ready to go and you only need to activate the door cassette in Command to have it running alongside your other readers.
