Management of offline locking systems.

Door components which function without a data line to a PC are called offline components. They are more affordable than online or virtually networked components, but are less convenient when it comes to changing locking authorisations.
Changes must be “carried” to the door components by means of an external programming device.

Entry-level

blueControl Start is available as software, as well as in a package including a programming device. This software was specially developed for vendors and small to medium-sized companies. The user-friendliness, intuitively operated user interface and an extensive package of basic functions serve as the basis of blueControl Start.

An upgrade to the more expansive blueControl Professional is, of course, also possible.
