Kantech Access Control in the GTA

Kantech is a brand within the Tyco Security Products division of Johnson Controls. It specializes in access control solutions for commercial and institutional buildings. Here’s an overview of Kantech:

Kantech access control lets us give offices, condominiums and multi-door commercial buildings in Newmarket and the GTA a single system for managing who can open which door and when. We design the credential structure, install the hardware, and stay available afterwards for changes and support.

Access Control Systems: Kantech offers a range of access control systems designed to control and manage entry and exit points within buildings. These systems typically include door controllers, card readers, keypads, biometric devices (such as fingerprint and facial recognition) and management software. We use facial recognition mainly as an access-control credential for staff-only doors, with a privacy review first.

Door Controllers: The EntraPass system is built around Kantech door controllers, which handle the back end: they talk to each card reader and keypad on the door, and decide whether to unlock it based on the permissions and schedule we’ve set for that user.

Card Readers and Credentials: For credentials, Kantech supports proximity cards, smart cards, PIN keypads, key fobs and mobile credentials, so we can match the reader type to how your staff or residents actually move through the building.

Management Software: Kantech’s EntraPass software is the management layer behind the hardware – it’s where we add and remove users, set access schedules, pull activity logs, and connect the system to video surveillance for a combined view of who went where.

Integration: Because Kantech is built to work alongside other building systems, we can tie it into video surveillance, intrusion alarms, elevator control or HVAC where the building already has that infrastructure.

Scalability and Flexibility: The same EntraPass platform covers a single front door or a multi-building portfolio, so a system we install for a small office today can grow with the business without a rip-and-replace later.

Cybersecurity: On the security side, Kantech’s systems use encrypted communication and authentication between devices, and we keep firmware and software current as part of ongoing support.
