Access control
Access control and entry systems that keep Indiana properties secure.
Sowynet designs and installs door readers, cloud controllers, intercoms, and audit-ready reporting for offices, retail, multi-tenant, and campuses. We integrate with cameras and networks so your team sees who entered, when, and why.
Serving Indianapolis, Carmel, and statewide projects with same-week site visits.
Highlights
-
01
Cloud-first or on-prem
Choose modern cloud dashboards or keep controllers local—either way, you get reliable auditing and permissions.
-
02
Camera integration
Pair door events with nearby cameras so investigations and compliance reviews take minutes instead of hours.
-
03
Templates for every site
We standardize naming, roles, and alerts so franchises and campuses stay consistent across locations.
Field view
Pair access events with the camera view that explains them
Good access control is not only about locking doors. Teams also need to confirm who entered, what happened around the door, and how quickly they can review that event during a real incident or audit.
Readers, strikes, maglocks
Badge, PIN, mobile, and intercom access with properly rated power, wiring, and life-safety considerations.
Cloud or on-prem controllers
Role-based permissions, schedules, holidays, and alerts with backups and change control.
Cameras + access logs
Pair nearby cameras to every reader so you can review video by event, not just by timestamp.
