  • Installing and programming access control panels, readers, locks, and door hardware across leading platforms (Genetec, Motorola, Acre, Brivo, AMAG, and more)
  • Performing server-side system programming and configuration on VMS and access control servers, including basic system administration task.
  • System commissioning, end-user training, and turnover documentation
