I wrote a system like this back in about 1991. It used a VeriZone (I think that was the name) card reader. It logged a card when swiped and could protect certain rooms from certain people, etc. It was developed for a Power company, so it was used to protect the storage room where they kept all of the tools. It cut done significantly on people taking stuff home because the office could tell who went in and out. It also made people VERY paranoid. No one would let anyone else in a door that they had swiped, &etc. The other nice feature was that the motors we used were designed to unlock in a power loss situation. This allowed the power company employees to get to tools in the event of an emergency (also, power companies are supposed to shut their power off before a customers if they have to choose). I will look around for the tape back up if you are interested, it was all developed on SCO/Xenix using C and GDBM. brian On Mon, 17 Jul 2000, Andrew Ryder wrote: > Does anyone know of a system that will do the following: > > Allow door locks (3 standard sized locks) to be controlled by some system > (key/datachip/stripe card) > interface with a database for logging/adding/etc > > It's mostly just to see who came in when.. etc - Might be the wrong place > to post but I figure > someone might have a system..
