Networked access-control software, controllers, readers and credentials for commercial and institutional facilities.
What this product family does
Keyscan designs combine access-management software with door/elevator controllers and dormakaba reader/credential choices. Current compatibility, controller capacity, integrations and migration from legacy Keyscan products must be checked against the exact software and hardware generation.
Products and decisions
| Product area | What it includes | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Management | Keyscan access-management software and operator workstations | Define server/cloud path, sites, operators, reporting and backup |
| Controllers | Door and elevator-floor controller families | Size doors, readers, inputs/outputs, elevators, enclosures and power |
| Readers/credentials | Standard, high-frequency, UHF and mobile credential choices | Plan credential security and migration instead of defaulting to legacy proximity |
| Integrations | Supported lodging, multifamily and third-party workflows | Verify current versions and responsibilities before contracting |
Questions to answer before quoting
- Inventory existing panels and software version
- Door/elevator count and expansion
- Reader protocol and credential security
- Server, network, backup and support ownership
- Who owns administration, backups, updates and recurring services?
- What must continue working during network, internet or power failure?
- Which opening, egress, accessibility and life-safety requirements apply?
- What training, documentation and preventive maintenance are required?

How to compare and specify this product family
For dormakaba Keyscan Access Control, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following access-control system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Number and type of controlled openings
- Controller, reader, lock and credential compatibility
- Cloud or on-premise administration and ownership
- Offline behavior, backup power and emergency operation
- Directory, HR, video, visitor and elevator integrations
- Licensing, cybersecurity, training and lifecycle support
Installation, testing and handoff
A site survey records each opening, door hardware, cable path, power, network, credential policy and integration requirement. The design then maps readers, controllers, locks, inputs, outputs and administrator roles to the operational workflow. Commissioning includes door-by-door functional tests, failure-mode and backup-power checks, permission and schedule tests, event verification, administrator training and as-built documentation. Product availability, subscriptions and supported integrations are confirmed for the current project before procurement.

Official dormakaba software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
