Smarter Door Control Starts with EntroStar
The EntroStar™ ACS panel redefines what a door controller can do — combining native BACnet connectivity, PoE+ convenience, and StarWatch™ SMS integration into a single, elegantly engineered two-door solution. From a single entry point to a facility-wide network, EntroStar delivers the intelligence and flexibility that modern security installations demand.
The Access Control Panel Engineered for the Way Facilities Actually Work
Where Intelligent Design Meets Practical Installation
At the heart of every DAQ access control installation is a door controller that needs to do more than simply lock and unlock doors. It needs to communicate intelligently, integrate seamlessly with the broader security environment, and be practical enough for real-world deployment without specialized tools or complex configuration procedures. EntroStar was designed with all of that in mind. As the world's first PoE/PoE+ native BACnet access control panel, EntroStar supports two doors and up to four readers — compatible with virtually any third-party credential technology — while drawing power directly from a standard network connection and eliminating the need for a local power supply.
Open Standards. Seamless Integration. Faster Deployment.
Built on the open BACnet protocol standard, the panel enables access control data to flow seamlessly into building automation systems, connecting personnel movement and door activity to informed facility decisions in real time. All access events and credential activity are reported directly to the StarWatch SMS platform for centralized monitoring and response — and with auto-discovery, plug-and-play connectivity, and innovative diagnostic LEDs, EntroStar typically cuts total deployment time in half.
