The Red Reader V2.
One reader that reads Bluetooth, proximity, and high-security 13.56 MHz credentials, so you're not stuck ripping out hardware every time you upgrade your cards. Mullion or single-gang, with or without a keypad, wired back to PDK.io on a single OSDP cable run. We mount it, we set the migration path, you get a text the moment someone badges in after hours.
Real clients. Real Orange County jobs.
"Everything was wonderful from start to finish. I received a quote within a day of calling, and the installation was completed even faster than expected. I'm extremely pleased with the entire experience and highly recommend this company."
"Excellent services all around. Always available when needed. We got issue with readers a few months after installation and when we called them, they picked up the phone and helped troubleshoot right away! Would definitely recommend this vendor."
"Action 1st and Russell Yost have been amazing for setting up the doorbell system at the Boys & Girls Club. Russell is a great communicator and responds quickly... A positive experience all around!"
