Hardware

The bit that goes in the wall. Seven parts. The whole stock list.

Quiet hardware, designed and engineered in the UK. One controller runs two doors; add readers and power, and that’s the lot. Your installer brings it and fits it. One controller runs two doors, and up to eight more find it over the mesh on their own. Add readers and power, and that’s it. No 32-part accessory maze, no 140-page compatibility matrix.

Bolt.Access BDC2

Two doors. Its own copy of the rules. Two doors, eight relays, one claim code.

One compact controller for two doors. It keeps its own copy of the rules, so the door still decides who gets in when the broadband doesn’t, and there’s no server to look after. Four OSDP readers, eight inputs and eight relays on board, 12–24 V DC. The unit plugged into ethernet elects itself master; any others on the property find it over Bolt.Mesh and talk back through it.

Bolt.Access BDC2 controller: a DIN-rail enclosure with green screw terminals for the reader bus, power and inputs along the top, eight relay outputs along the bottom, an ethernet port and an antenna.
  • Keeps working when the internet doesn’t.
  • No server to buy or look after.
  • Two doors from one small box.

Bolt.Mesh

Less cable through your building. One cable run. Eighteen doors.

Cable is usually the nasty surprise on an access job. With Bolt.Mesh only one controller needs a cable run; the rest find it wirelessly, and if one drops out the others route round it. Stop pulling Cat6 at the first controller. Every BDC2 is the same hardware: the one that sees ethernet becomes master, and the rest find their way home over up to three wireless hops.

Bolt.VisionConnector

Your cameras, recorded on site. 4 or 8 cameras. Keep the ones on the wall.

Works with the cameras you already have. It keeps HD footage on site and sends events and verified clips to the Bolt cloud, so you hear about what happened, not every leaf that blew past. Sits on the LAN and talks ONVIF to the cameras already there. Detection runs on the box, so the network stays quiet and the cloud storage you sell lasts longer.
