MENGQI-CONTROL 4 Doors Access Control System Core Control Components Metal 5A 110V-240V Power Supply Box and 4 Doors TCP/IP Access Control Panel Wiegand Controller,Computer Based Software,Remote Open

These are pretty amazing controllers and door access systems. We investigated many and found that every other supplier would not direct sell us the controllers, and wanted to charge a massive installation price and $1200 or more for just the control board. We were able to use these amazing controllers with various door access systems to secure almost 40 doors, install and configure them ourselves, with just a fraction of the cost, around 10% what we would have paid. Reaching out to their support, I have always received responses within 24 hours and have received the instructions I needed. Great product and support, I hope this supplier capture the door access industry which will bring the insane costs of big manufacturers demand into something reasonable!

This is a very impressive DIY solution for building access control. I don't have a lot of experience with this application per se, but the hardware and software provided by MENGXI-CONTROL is very impressive. Given the relatively low price I was a little skeptical but decided to give it a shot. I ordered the 4-door control panel kit plus some extra MAG locks, push-to-exit door buttons, keypads and the motion sensor. Hardware build quality looks very robust and so far I've not encountered any issues or surprises. The hardware comes with extensive documentation which is also available online and is supplemented with many videos showing how to tie everything together. I'm really impressed most with the features offered by the software package. Before trying to install at a new property, set up a simple table top system with the panel, lock, and keypad. This makes it easy to play with the software and learn all the features. Once I got the hang of it, it was very easy to implement more complex features like time of day access control, department or tenant specific rules, etc...To top it off, customer support is really responsive and very clear with instructions.

Very Nice system. We installed this at a HOA pool and they love it. It does everything they want and keeps Owners from coming in after hours. We needed a little help from support to get all the functions we needed working as they can be a little hard to find. The manual doesn't have all the info needed but teck support was very fast to respond to my email with a video and PDF that answered all of my questions .

I installed into an "old house" now used as an office building about 3 months ago and so far, it's solid. For entry, the user swipes their fob and the controller grants access by applying 12vdc to release the door latch. The user simply pushes the door to open. Overall, I would rate the project as "very challenging" due to the old house environment. Installing into a commercial building with mag locks would probably be a lot easier. The controller itself was easy to install and setup. The instructions were clear enough for me. I'm not using all the fancy access control features like time-based lock/unlock and reporting, etc. so I can't speak to those. However, running the low voltage wire from the controller to the doors and replacing the old latches with electronic latches was challenging, especially the electronic latch installation. Note, if you have deadbolts on your doors, they can't be used any longer if you want your users to be able to gain access around the clock...…therefore, your doors could likely be easily breached since the latch is the only thing securing the door. Since we need to have 7/24 access, we decided to lock the deadbolts on all but one door after normal business hours. I have 3 doors connected with RFID fob readers. I changed out the doorknobs for ones that are "storage room" types...from outside, they're always locked, from the inside they are always open. ( Schlage F80-PLY F-Series Plymouth Storeroom Door Knob) I installed electronic latches (Seco-Larm SD-991A-D1Q). Also, for security concerns, I installed the controller setup software onto a cheap standalone Windows minicomputer. Overall, I think I spent about $800-$900 on parts and materials. If there are any failures, I’ll try and post an update here. Good luck!

Our agency has purchased multiple times over five years from this vendor. We currently use their products to manage 150+ doors spread across 19 facilities. The hardware and software have worked without issue. There has been only three times over the years that support was required. Twice during setup and just recently for an management question. Their team response was exceptionally fast and to the point. I would highly recommend purchasing.

I have recently retired from the access control business. I worked in this business for over 30 years in a electrical engineering capacity. I just purchased a local FBO airport facility with five buildings. I wanted to secure this facility with card access control but I didn’t want to spend tens of thousands of dollars like the systems I sold and designed in the past. I have five four door controllers. Three of these building are too remote to try and run 10/100 networking so I installed AP Bridges in these three building and hooked them up directly to these access control panels. The system has been working perfectly for over two years without any issues. All my pilots are issued proximity access cards and the doors remain controlled to each of these buildings. I just recently installed one of these controllers in a NEMA 12 enclosure mounted to a 100LL fuel pump. The pilots can use their proximity cards to turn the fuel pump on/off as needed to fuel their plane. Once again I installed a outdoor wireless bridge to connect this controller to my office computer. I highly recommend this system and the price is so low I was concerned that the quality wouldn’t be there….well they have proved me wrong. Tech support responds in 24 hours or less with charts and pictures to answer all of my questions.

Installed 1/10/25 we will see how long this lasts and I will report back, I have doubts this will work long term. I haven't had any issues installing the hardware or navigating the software all that much, however the software seems clunky, inefficiently designed in fact, so there is a learning curve, and poor English translation. Luckily there is decent documentation they provide. However a lot of features are hidden it seems and are hard to find. It would be nice for the software to be open source, its not. I would not install this on any important buildings where security REALLY matters, for a shed or a garage? SURE. Also I have had to completely open the firewall to the program in order for it to communicate with the software internally even, this seems like a security risk in it self. There is also a Chinese server IP it communicates with, could this be for the app, or yeah security issue?? the app is terrible, and looks terrible. It works only if you are connected to your local network and it does a "self discovery" search, I have tried to enter the IP and SN of the product to find it in the app but its so badly designed it does nothing, so if it doesn't pick up the controller with the small "search" button you're out of luck. I have setup a VPN to the controller to attempt to open the door remotely using the app, it's possible that could work, but I have not finished trouble shooting it. It helps to have networking knowledge to get things to function here, you will have to do some dancing around the clunky software. I was impressed with the reader logic, I never got any miss or failed badge reads so that's a positive! bottom line, this seems to work great for a shed or basement or small building. If security really matters to you, you should go with an American made product, but of course that's expensive. If you just want to keep your local thug out on the weekends get this system. Update: I got the phone app to work remotely, you need to forward ports 60000 on your router to the door access controllers IP address. I setup a VPN on the phone and was able to VPN and open the door off of the internal network, so you are able to open the door remotely anywhere. I also setup a VPN on my laptop and I am able to VPN into my network and access the door controller from anywhere so that is great. Its still concerning to me that I need to add a firewall acceptation on my computer for the program and open the port through the router, I feel there is some security risk here..

Well easy if you're doing your own wiring or have a good idea on what's already installed. My situation was that old installation was wired way different than expected because of how old the system I was replacing, mind you I had to do some wire connection and disconnection, delete some wiring etc... the tech support was very helpful, didn't worry how long it took. Also did some research for me. Great overall.
