Best Fit & Recommended For
Brivo ACS-100 Single-Door Smart Controller
The Brivo ACS-100 is the single-door cloud-managed access control panel from Brivo’s Brivo Access platform — the right pick when a project only needs one controlled door, or when an additional door has to be added to an existing Brivo property without the cost of a 2-door panel. PoE power simplifies installation: one Ethernet run delivers both connectivity and 12 V DC equivalent for the panel and lock circuit.
Why a Single-Door Panel Beats a 2-Door Panel for One Door
For projects with exactly one controlled door — a tenant suite, a server room, a side entry, a small commercial office — the ACS-100 cuts both hardware cost and installation time vs. running an ACS300-E-B and only using one of its two reader inputs. Same Brivo Access cloud admin, same credential support, half the panel cost.
Cross-Brivo Comparison
| Feature | ACS-100 (this) | ACS300-E-B | ACS-SDC-E | ACS6100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doors per panel | 1 | 2 | 1 | 16+ (high-density) |
| Form factor | Compact wall-mount | Metal enclosure | Edge SDC | Multi-door panel |
| Network | Ethernet + WiFi + PoE | Ethernet + WiFi (+ optional LTE) | Ethernet + WiFi + PoE | Ethernet |
| Best fit | Single-door deployments | 2-door modern (most common) | Single-door modern at the door | High-density 16–32+ doors |
