i-PRO MC-MR50-S3 Access Control Controller
Overview
The i-PRO MC-MR50-S3 is an enterprise-grade access control system integrated with Video Insight 7 video management software. It delivers door access management, real-time alarm reporting, and video event correlation without separate licensing costs. Deploy this when you need unified access control and surveillance under one platform — eliminates the integration overhead between standalone door systems and camera VMS.
Compatibility
The MC-MR50-S3 integrates directly with Video Insight 7 (VI7) installations. It operates on PoE+ (802.3at) power, so it fits into standard network infrastructure using existing switch capacity. Available in the United States and Canada only.
Key Functions
- Door Access and Scheduling: Configure access levels by location and time schedule, linked directly to video events — when a forced-door alarm triggers, the system logs it alongside camera footage automatically.
- Unlimited Concurrent Connections: No per-user licensing. Local and remote access via web browser on the same network; remote access requires standard port forwarding.
- Alarm and Email Notification: Instant alerts for forced-door and access-denied events routed via email or live dashboard — first responders get real-time intelligence without polling.
- Active Directory Integration: Import user lists and groups from Active Directory, centralizing personnel database management across IT and security teams.
- Map-Based Alarm Visualization: Plot real-time access events on floor maps within VI Monitor — situational awareness without jumping between separate tools.
- Anti-Passback: Prevents credential reuse within the same session, reducing tailgating risk in high-security zones.
Installation Notes
The MC-MR50-S3 draws PoE+ power (802.3at), which is within the budget of modern enterprise switches — verify your switch has available PoE allocation. Web-based administration requires network connectivity; secure browser login with proper firewall configuration for remote access. No client software installation needed on workstations.
