eMerge Essential Plus

The allure of this scalable 1-door access control system from Linear strikes at the heart of why many small businesses and facilities for so long have chosen to forego more advanced and better security. With eMerge Essential Plus you're able to leverage your existing network infrastructure to deploy an entry-level, easy-to-use, expandable access system to control when and who can enter, and manage the entire application from any device, both locally and remotely. Backed by decades of experience, the full-featured software included with your self-contained hardware controller offers the type of programming you'd expect to find in systems for larger applications. The magic is in how simple Linear makes it to get up and running and start using it. After placing eMerge on your network, open your favorite web browser, type in the web address, and follow the setup wizard. Once you connect your door reader and electric lock (strike, or maglock), you can create access levels, user schedules, and begin issuing credentials. The Linear P-300HA is commonly used to control access with cards, while the Linear IEI SSW-iLW, and Prox.Pad give you additional options. A 5-amp power supply is included with the Essential Plus model. This gives you enough wattage for the controller, and what you'll need at the door for your strikes and mags, up to four doors. An optional POE module is also available. The eMerge Essential Plus appliance comes with a software license for 1-door, up-to 2 readers, and 1,000 users. Start with a front entry door, or the employee back door, and then as you need to, simply purchase an additional software key (key only / key + reader) to expand to up to four access points. For facilities with larger user populations, and/or the need to secure additional doors, upgrade licenses are available. We recommend if you have the potential to grow to more than four doors start with the eMerge Elite to avoid licensing costs which in the long run will cost you more than buying Elite upfront. An Elite software key is available and the Essential Plus boxed can will house an expansion module to get you to eight doors, in essence converting your Essential Plus into an Elite. Whether you begin with Essential Plus, or Elite, both are great for expanding and you won't be caught flatfooted with a system you can't use, or staring new controller hardware costs in the face. The blending of a seamless scale-up with the innovation and reliability of the product make it easy to see the unprecedented value eMerge delivers.
