Galaxy Control Systems Access Control Solutions
Galaxy Control Systems is a leader in enterprise-class access control hardware and software manufactured in the United States. The company evolved from Digital Systems Corporation, an award-winning defence contractor that developed surveillance technology for the US Military since 1974.
System Galaxy software integrates access control, alarm monitoring, video surveillance, elevator control, visitor management, and time and attendance into a unified platform. The flexible modular architecture scales from single-door installations to multi-site enterprise deployments.
Galaxy hardware supports a combination of credential technologies, including proximity cards, smart cards, biometrics, mobile credentials, and Bluetooth. All products maintain backwards compatibility, protecting your security investment as technology evolves.
Critical Access Control Challenges Addressed
Businesses face unauthorized entry attempts, credential sharing, tailgating incidents, and gaps in compliance documentation. Manual visitor tracking creates security blind spots, while outdated systems lack integration capabilities.
Galaxy access control provides real-time monitoring, automated reporting, and audit trails that address these vulnerabilities. Organizations gain real-time insights into facility access patterns and track cardholder activity across entry points.
