OVERVIEW OF THE USER SESSION IN POLARIS

The Polaris is a web-based access control solution that can be operated from a cloud or on-premise web server. Regardless of which solution you have, the operator login and system programming looks and functions the same way.

The Polaris system supports the Customer Operator’s ability to add all their hardware, panel, and board programming and configuring reader/door behavior in the system . Also the user can load flash and programming to the panels as well as enroll credentials.
