The Crystal Touch CT9 series is a Linux based HTTP server centralised terminal with TCP/IP Ethernet suitable for both LAN and internet cloud server software communication. The CT9 is equipped with embedded relay control for both online server real-time monitoring and a standalone access control solution, no need for an additional controller.

With its stylish design, the 3.5” touch screen and speaker give intuitive and user-friendly clear information to visitors, and is suited to almost all kinds of applications and environments for both indoor and outdoor installations and for the highest levels of security.

The CT9 family incorporates several chip technologies including RFID dual 125KHz & 13.56MHz contactless smart card, ISO18092 NFC and BLE mobile phone access ID and SAM AV2. This combination makes the product flexible for all kinds of security applications and future technology requirements applicable to the security industry.

Whilst in online mode, the CT9 supports unlimited users for real time access control management. It includes a GET/POST command via standard HTTP protocol communication to build bio-directional communication with the server, and with a unique device address to avoid IP conflict for secure device management under internet and LAN conditions. In case of disconnection with the server, the CT9 has a large standalone working capacity of 10,000 card holders and 50,000 event logs, to 100% guard the physical access control system.

To build a secure access control system, the CT9 also works with the Cidron family of external door readers for both sides of the door control, and recognisable Card ID and event reports are read from the master (CT9) or slave reader for secure anti-pass back (APB) access control.

The Cidron reader family is 100% Swedish design and produced by Civintec, it is compatible with secure RFID-technologies and BLE, NFC mobile credentials and is incorporated within a robust housing, makes them ideally suited for both indoor and outdoor installations in all kinds of physical access control applications.

Peter Bergström, CEO of Civintec Europe says: “We are very proud that today Cidron is one of the best RFID readers available on the market, and with its customisation possibilities and accessory range I dare to say it is unique. Cidron has increased its market share a lot during the last five years. Our ambition has always been to provide innovative products with a high level of quality that meet any client’s requirements on a global scale.”
