Pairs with

Two doors out of the box and a path to sixty-four without changing the head end. The X1100 is the controller an Alarm.com Smarter Access Control job is built around: it lands on the customer network, reports to the Alarm.com for Business platform, and is programmed from the same web portal and app the dealer already uses for intrusion and video.

Built for the commercial installer

There is no access control server to spec, no client software to install on the customer's PC, and no separate credential database to keep in sync. Doors and users are managed from the Alarm.com app, and because intrusion and video are on the same platform, badge events tag the video timeline and a badge-in can disarm the system without a third-party integration to build and maintain.

The board carries two dedicated reader inputs, four relay outputs at 5 A NO and 3 A NC, and four programmable inputs, plus dedicated inputs for tamper, AC fail and battery fail. A 50,000-event message buffer means an outage does not lose the audit trail. UL 294 certified, and rated for low-voltage Class 2 circuits only.

Key features

  • Scales from two readers to 64 by adding X100 expansion modules, so the first phase does not cap the building
  • No server and no client software, which removes the IT conversation from the sale entirely
  • Badge events tag video and can disarm intrusion natively, not through a custom integration
  • 50,000-event message buffer keeps the audit trail through a network or power outage
  • Scan-to-add card format detection, so an unknown existing credential can be enrolled without chasing its format
  • UL 294 certified for access control system units

System requirements

Requires 12 to 24 VDC at 550 mA max excluding reader power, an Ethernet connection, and an active Alarm.com for Business account with Smarter Access Control. Reader power is automatically regulated to 12 VDC at up to 500 mA per reader. Low-voltage Class 2 circuits only.

FAQs

How many doors can one X1100 control?
Two readers on the controller itself. Adding X100 Two Reader Expansion Modules takes it to 64 readers, with support for 32 expansion modules per Alarm.com's data sheet.
What happens to access events if the network goes down?
The controller buffers up to 50,000 events, so the audit trail survives a network or power interruption and uploads once the connection returns.
Does this need a separate access control server or software licence?
No. It reports to the Alarm.com for Business platform, and doors and users are managed from the Alarm.com website or app. There is no on-site server or head-end software to maintain.
What network expertise does installation require?
None beyond a normal IP drop. Alarm.com describes it as plug and play, with hardware configured from the customer website or the app rather than through a local programming tool.
What are the relay ratings for door hardware?
Four relay outputs rated 5 A normally open and 3 A normally closed at 30 VDC. Size strikes and maglocks against those figures and allow for inrush.
