Anyone Dealt With Isonas Door Access?
-
There's not currently a specific question, but I'm a certified installer and run into Constant headaches with this software. Has anyone else ever dealt with it?
-
I have not. and I hear that I don't want to.
-
@scottalanmiller That's right. You don't. The main software runs CrystalDB for a backend with a frontend that looks like it was designed for Windows 2000. That's just the start...
-
I have not been an installer since 2000.

@JaredBusch Why does it not surprise me that you have touched this system? lol. You are probably more on top of these types of things than most people I know.
Just to make you feel a little old, I was seven years old when you stopped being an installer.

Sorry, let me clarify, I have never installed this brand.
But I worked for a local security company and a national one (ADT) for about 8 years (1993-2000) as a commercial installer. I specialized in building access control systems (all PC based stuff that ran on a serial loop back then).

Gotcha. These guys have a good hook and kickass hardware. All IP based, low install costs, and very little hardware.
However, the software hasn't held up to the hype. -

That concept has legitimately crossed my mind.

Could it be written in Python? or would it need Java / C some other ...
-
@gjacobse Not entirely sure, but I don't think I'd do python. A bit too heavy of a language for this. Might slow things down. I'd be perfectly fine learning a new language to do it lol
