Introducing the XPR OFFLine Range: Flexible Access Control Without the Network

In many access control projects, installers and system integrators face a familiar challenge: the client needs a secure and reliable system, but the building isn’t suited to the heavy infrastructure demands of a fully networked solution. Running cabling, installing controllers, and configuring servers can be costly, disruptive, or simply unnecessary.

This is where the XPR OFFLine range comes in. Designed to provide the management capabilities of an online system without the need for controllers or Ethernet networks, XPR’s offline solution bridges the gap between standalone access control and fully networked systems. For installers, it means faster deployment and lower costs. For end users, it means streamlined access management that is both affordable and easy to use.

How OFFLine Access Control Works

Unlike traditional online systems, the XPR OFFLine range does not rely on network cabling or dedicated controllers. Instead, access rights are programmed and managed via user-friendly software tools, PROA-MS, which allow administrators to manage an unlimited number of users and sites from one platform.

Even though the system is offline, it supports an impressive capacity of up to 500 doors or access points per site, making it a scalable choice for medium-sized projects that require more than a handful of doors but don’t justify the complexity of a networked infrastructure.

This hybrid approach makes XPR Offline particularly appealing for projects where flexibility, ease of deployment, and affordability are key factors.

Real-World Applications

One of the strongest advantages of the XPR Offline solution is its versatility across a wide variety of environments. In the hospitality sector, for example, hotels and guest houses can issue cards or credentials to guests without having to invest in a full server-based online system. Access rights can be quickly updated through the software, making it easy to manage short-term stays or rotating staff.

For co-working spaces, where tenants and members frequently change, the system offers the same flexibility. New users can be added or removed with minimal effort, ensuring security without complex reconfiguration.

The fitness and leisure industry also benefits from XPR OFFLine technology. Gyms and health clubs often need to manage member access across multiple doors, from the main entrance to changing areas and studios. XPR’s solution provides the control required without the overheads of a fully networked installation.

Education and healthcare are further sectors where offline access control has strong advantages. Universities, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes often need to restrict access to certain areas while still accommodating large numbers of users. The ability to scale up to hundreds of doors per site while maintaining simple offline management makes the system well suited to these demanding environments.

Core Products Within the XPR OFFLine Range

At the heart of the OFFLine portfolio are the range of readers that have been designed specifically for offline deployment. These devices are engineered to be robust, easy to install, and fully compatible with the management software.

Offline Wall Readers and Keypads – For access points that require electronic credentials or PIN codes, XPR’s offline readers provide a sleek, modern solution. They can be installed at main entrances, staff areas, or shared facilities, giving administrators full control over who enters and when.
Management Software (PROA-MS) – These intuitive applications are the real power behind the OFFLine system. They give administrators complete oversight of users and doors, allowing access rights to be created, modified, and revoked with ease. Because the software supports unlimited users and sites, it offers a level of scalability rarely found in offline systems.

Together, these components create a complete ecosystem for secure and efficient access management, without the infrastructure overheads.
