Access Control in Essex County, NJ
Know who can open which door, and shut off a lost credential from your phone in about ten seconds.
Built for Essex County's buildings and businesses
Essex County stretches from Port Newark and the airport edge to hospital campuses in Livingston, county and municipal buildings in the middle, and Short Hills retail at the western end. That is four completely different door problems inside one county line. Legion designs access control for Essex County businesses, institutions and property managers, and we already work Newark daily.
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.

Access Control in Essex County — your questions
Lockdown is a single action — one button, one badge tap, or a trigger from your existing panic system — and it secures every exterior door at once while leaving egress code-compliant.
In most cases yes. Door events tie to your existing NVR so a forced door or a badge-in pulls the matching clip. If the recorder is too old to integrate we will tell you before you buy anything.
We do — Newark has its own access control page covering the Ironbound, downtown and Port Newark in more detail. This page covers the rest of Essex County.
