Key Features
The Red CloudNode is a main access control controller with a built-in single-door controller, allowing the first door to operate without additional hardware. It is managed via the PDK.io cloud platform, enabling full remote configuration and control from any internet-connected device, with automatic over-the-air updates for ongoing security and feature improvements.
Technical Context
It supports Ethernet self-discovery for easy setup without manual IP configuration and WiMAC wireless for adding additional Red controllers without network cabling. The system includes onboard power with full supervision, OSDP secure communication, removable screw terminals for wiring, and requires a backup battery for UL 294 compliance (not included).
Installation Notes
The device is housed in a lockable metal enclosure measuring 7.625" W × 10.4375" H × 3" D for indoor use only. It operates on 12–24V DC power with an included 14VDC 2A Class 2 adapter and supports temperatures from -20°C to +60°C with 0–95% non-condensing humidity. The system includes a 1–5 year warranty depending on configuration.
