On escape doors: maglock is fail-safe (releases on power loss), fire alarm must give a monitored release signal, green break-glass for manual release โ€” that's BS 7273-4. Get it signed off at commissioning.
7
Readers: default to OSDP over RS-485 (encrypted, bidirectional) not 40-year-old Wiegand. Pair with MIFARE DESFire EV2 (AES-128). On retrofits, OSDP over the existing RS-485 is your upgrade path.
Pick the tier: Standalone โ€” 1 door, no PC Pro Series โ€” 1-4 doors, 100k cards/300k events Ultra DS-K2701X โ€” up to 125 doors, 200k cards/600k events, OSDP

Two architectures. A standalone terminal (DS-K1T804BMF) makes the decision on the door โ€” no PC. A networked controller (DS-K2602T / DS-K2701X) centralises admin, anti-passback and audit. Start small, grow without ripping out.

Hikvision ANPR cameras read a number plate and act on it โ€” open a barrier, log a visit, flag a watch list. New 2026 installer guide ๐Ÿงต netviewcctv.co.uk/blog/post/โ€ฆ

Busy entrance or toll lane โ†’ iDS-TCM403-BI: LPR accuracy >98%, direction motorcycle capture. Radar-assisted GIR variant for quiet lanes.

Need vehicle attributes too? The DeepinViewX iDS-2CD7A46G2/LM adds Guanlan large-model AI โ€” plate colour/type/make perimeter.
Best all-rounder: iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY (4MP). 0.0005 lux DarkFighter 140 dB WDR reads plates against headlights. 2.8-12mm for short lanes, 8-32mm for long approaches.

The engine runs ON the camera. The DeepinView models hold an on-board list of up to 10,000 plates โ€” no separate recognition server or per-plate licence.

Adopt the gateway into Ruijie Cloud by QR, set the VPN, hand the customer a viewer login. Gateway, switches and APs all managed from one dashboard โ€” remote config, no site visit.
17
Multi-WAN matters. Most EG models take 2 configurable WAN ports with load balancing and failover โ€” if the primary line drops, remote viewing and alerts roll to a backup. Always-online cameras.

Pick by site size: Shop/home โ†’ RG-EG105G-V3 (100 users) Small business โ†’ RG-EG210G-E (200 users, 1 Gbps, multi-WAN) Multi-site โ†’ RG-EG1510XS (1,500 clients, 1,000 tunnels, 4 Gbps)
3
Every EG gateway supports IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP VPN. Build an encrypted tunnel to the site and the NVR keeps its private LAN address โ€” never exposed to the internet. That closes the #1 attack path on CCTV.
