Powerful Access Control for Any Business, Any Size

A business is only as secure as its weakest door.

Johnson Controls offers smart, scalable, and intuitive commercial access control solutions. From installations of one door to a thousand doors, Johnson Controls provides an extensive portfolio of access control solutions to help protect your business from theft and other security incidents.

Solution Differentiators

Video Surveillance and Intrusion Integrations

Johnson Controls’ access control solutions integrate seamlessly with video surveillance and intrusion systems, whether they’re manufactured by Johnson Controls or by other leading security companies. With effortless integration to other manufacturers’ solutions, businesses can save time and money by not needing to replace their existing systems.

Open Platform for 3rd Party Integrations

Johnson Controls’ open architecture allows our access control solutions to work with ample 3rd party technologies. Such technologies include fire detection and suppression, building management, gunshot detection, and more.

On-prem and Cloud Options

Store access control information on-premise via servers located at your business’s physical location, or keep data in the cloud off-site. By removing servers on-premise and leveraging the cloud, you can significantly reduce operating costs while still maintaining a secure access system.

Hosted and Managed Options

Johnson Controls offers both hosted and managed options for access control solutions to more easily maintain your system. With hosted access control, Johnson Controls' servers host the system off-premise and Johnson Controls manages the hardware and software updates, whereas in a managed access control solution, Johnson Controls hosts the system and managed the day-to-day administration of the system.

Scalable and Flexible Solutions

Our access control systems are designed to grow with you as your business does. From one door to a thousand doors, Johnson Controls provides you with the flexibility to migrate to multiple sites. Such flexibility saves time and money since you don’t have to ‘rip and replace’ current solutions.

Cyber Threat Mitigation

Our approach to cybersecurity is preventative and proactive, with native and certificate-based encryption. Johnson Controls employs over 250 engineers specialized in cybersecurity to identify current and future threats and provide real-time solutions to maintain a cybersecure environment.

Easy to Set Up and Intuitive to Use

Johnson Controls' access control systems are simple to install and easy to use. With high functionality and low barrier to entry, our solutions can be utilized by a wide range of personnel, from security guards to IT professionals. Our access systems also include mobile applications to monitor entry and receive alerts from anywhere at anytime, directly to your phone.

Powerful Command Center/SOC

We leverage an easily deployable and robust command center where you can send information to any work station or monitor connected to the system. The entire view comes up automatically and layouts appear on a video wall where security personnel can simply ‘right click’ to analyze and send data anywhere.
