Access Control Solutions for Small/Medium-Sized Business

Commercial Access Control Systems in Houston, TX

Simple but powerful access control solution

Access Control Manager (ACM) Embedded Controller is a 100 percent browser-based entry level access control system designed for projects securing 16 doors of access or fewer. This unique solution uses open field hardware from HID Global combined with factory installed software from Avigilon that aligns with the needs of small and medium-sized businesses.

Most access systems in the market connect to a physical server optimized for installations requiring a high number of doors, tens of thousands of cardholders and enough room for large amounts of transactional storage. This translates to greater system costs even for smaller projects that do not require all that processing power. ACM Embedded Controller removes the need for a server, enabling the HID controller to act as both the server and decision maker for the access system.

This in turn reduces installation time – from hours to minutes, simplifies programming, provides a simple user interface for personnel to operate and manage and includes all the power that small systems need to achieve full performance at a lower cost of ownership. Avigilon’s ACM Embedded Controller access system is ideal for small sized businesses, educational facilities, property management companies, retail locations, health clinics, dental offices and more.


Some of the key features and benefits of this solution are:

Support for Most Major Web Browsers
Provides a broad spectrum of compatible browsers to choose from, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Email Notification
Critical events can be sent directly to security personnel, improving incident response times.

Offline Mode
Enables valid access to a door even when the reader module is not communicating to the controller.

Setup in Minutes
Automatically configures access doors, inputs and outputs after each interface panel is created enabling faster deployment of the access system.

Database Backup
Easily backup all configuration and transactional data over a web browser, saving you valuable time.

Configurable Web Address
Improves web navigation by allowing a custom IP address or host name to be defined.

Simplified Design
Part of what makes ACM Embedded Controller simple and easy-to-use is the ability to allow the system to manage itself. With email notifications, critical system events can be sent to key personnel, alerting them to take action. What’s more, ACM Embedded Controller includes time saving features, such as the ability to quickly lock or unlock a door. This can be done locally or from a remote location.

Simplified user interface
Being able to manage the access control system from virtually any location provides the operator with the ability to quickly suspend access privileges to a card holder, run a detailed personnel report or remotely backup valuable data.
