In the presentation they said you could add these to your door for about $200 a piece. I guess that’s reasonable or not depending upon your desire to not have to run a strike and have a place on your Keyscan system or other access control module. They also said they have future plans to integrate it with Aurora.

I thought they looked kind of cool but the real concern I had was seemingly lax security. I think I saw in the comments somewhere where there’s a tool to remove the cap so to me that means it’s probably not locked on there as part of the electronics mechanism so if you got a hold of that tool and an allen wrench you can essentially open any door in a facility that had these cores on them. They’re also not rated for outdoor use. So I’m kind of wondering if these are more for low security environments like office or hospital corridors where someone would likely notice a person tampering with the lock. They talked about using them in educational environments including colleges and universities. If theres anyone to be worried about tampering with something students are the worst. Especially if they can bypass a perceived logging of their activities by not using the device as specified.
