Snap One Expands Security Portfolio with Cloud Based Access Control from Prodatakey

As part of its commitment to provide custom integrators an outstanding one-stop shopping experience, Snap One, now part of ADI, today announced it is now distributing hardware and software solutions from ProdataKey (PDK), marking its first entry into the access control space.

PDK is the first third party brand crossing into Snap One from ADI and represents one of the early benefits of the two companies coming together to offer more products and more brands, as well as helping partners discover new revenue opportunities.

According to Snap One Senior Director Clint Choate, PDK’s cloud-based access control systems can be used to address a variety of security challenges and offer strong integration capabilities with other brands Snap One carries.

“Physical access control has become increasingly important in today’s security landscape as organizations recognize its role in safeguarding physical and digital assets by controlling who can access specific areas. PDK’s access control solutions now empower Snap One partners to enhance security and peace of mind at commercial locations, high-end residences, gated communities and beyond,” Choate said. “PDK’s access devices can help strengthen onsite security while making it simple for workers and users to access controlled spaces, which can be enhanced through integration with Snap One’s existing Digital Watchdog offerings.”

With the plug-and-play PDK ecosystem, owners get easy-to-use tools to manage access, set schedules for timed access and much more. Owners and system managers can easily manage access from anywhere at any time using PDK’s cloud-based tools, regardless of the business’ size or number of users. The cloud-based design also simplifies maintenance and upkeep by limiting onsite hardware and providing automatic updates and enhancements as they are released.

PDK’s cloud-based access control system allows integrators and owners to scale the system based on their unique needs, leveraging a variety of products and solutions that include wired and wireless door controllers, keycard readers, fob readers and intuitive software to help manage user access and analyze room usage. The variety of credentialing options means each business owner or system administrator can choose to utilize Bluetooth, mobile push buttons, wearable credentials or high-security fobs and keycards to authenticate access permissions.

“We’re excited to add PDK products to our portfolio and help our partners expand into access control and build complete and scalable, integrated security systems,” said Choate. “As a combined business, Snap One and ADI are committed to working together to deliver even greater value to partners by offering more products and buying convenience, more support and local expertise, and more investment in innovation. We look forward to adding additional brands to continue expanding our comprehensive offering.”

The addition of PDK products to Snap One reinforces the distributor’s dedication to providing solutions for every key integration sector from AV and control to networking and security. As cloud-based, managed access control increasingly becomes standard at corporate buildings, housing communities and other locations, Snap One is ensuring partners have what they need to respond to trends and consistently prove their value to business owners and other clients.
