Kantech EntraPass
Kantech (Johnson Controls / Tyco)·AE_HSc_KantechConnectorGuide
Overview
The Kantech connector integrates AlertEnterprise Guardian with Kantech EntraPass — Kantech's commercial-mid PACS, now part of Johnson Controls / Tyco's broader access portfolio. Kantech is widely deployed in commercial real estate, education, and mid-tier enterprise where C·CURE 9000 is overkill but a feature-rich PACS is required.
