Access Control
Control every door, gate, and entry point.
Access Control in New Jersey
Keycards, phone credentials, biometrics and video intercoms, run either from the cloud or on your own server. Every door reports who opened it and when.
Know who can open which door, and shut off a lost credential from your phone in about ten seconds.
Access control replaces the brass keys nobody can account for. Somebody quits, somebody else still has a key, and rekeying the building costs more than the lock was worth. With credentials on cards or phones, that whole problem becomes a thirty-second job in a browser. It works the same on one storefront door in Newark as it does across a multi-tenant office in Jersey City or a distribution facility off I-287.
The useful part is what happens when the doors talk to everything else. Tie readers into your cameras and alarms, and a forced door or a 2am badge-in pulls the matching video by itself instead of somebody scrubbing through footage the next morning. Cloud platforms let you run every site from one login. On-prem controllers keep sensitive locations entirely in your building. Which one is right depends on your IT policy more than your budget, and we'll walk through both.
Everything gets logged, which matters more than it sounds. When there's an HR dispute, a theft, or an insurance claim, a time-stamped record of who opened what door is often the only evidence anyone has. The same system handles one-touch lockdown, and role-based permissions so a cleaning contractor's credential opens the lobby and nothing else.

Built-in capabilities
Everything engineered into a Legion access control deployment — designed, installed, and serviced by certified technicians.
Cloud & On-Prem Platforms
Browser-managed platforms or fully on-site controllers. Which one fits usually comes down to your IT policy, not the hardware.
Mobile & Biometric Credentials
Replace easily-shared keycards with smartphone Bluetooth/NFC credentials, fingerprint, and facial readers that can't be lent out or copied.
Video Intercom & Visitor Management
See and speak to anyone at the door, buzz them in remotely, and issue self-expiring guest passes with a full visitor log.
Multi-Site, Role-Based Control
One dashboard for every site and every group, whether that is staff, tenants or vendors, each on its own schedule.
Lockdown & Emergency Response
One-touch lockdown, anti-passback, and door-forced / held-open alerts that secure your facility and notify the right people instantly.
Integrations & Audit Trails
Tie access events to cameras, alarms, and HR / Active Directory systems, with time-stamped logs retained for compliance.

Access Control questions, answered
Pricing depends on the number of doors, reader type (card, mobile, or biometric), and whether you choose cloud or on-prem management. A single secured door typically starts in the low four figures, while multi-door and multi-site systems are quoted after a free on-site assessment. You'll always get a clear, itemized proposal with no hidden fees.
That is the main reason people move to a cloud platform. Every door across Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth or anywhere else runs from one dashboard, each site keeping its own schedules and permissions.
In most cases, yes. We assess your current hardware and can often reuse compliant locks, wiring, and even existing credentials, or phase in mobile credentials to reduce cost. Where upgrades are needed for security or reliability, we'll explain exactly why.
Properly designed access control fails safe and keeps working locally. Controllers retain credentials and schedules through an internet outage, and battery backup keeps doors operating during a power loss — so your building stays secure and code-compliant.
