Visionis FPC-8512 One Door Access Control System - 1200lb Maglock

In this review of the Visionis FPC-8512 kit, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, self-contained access control kit for indoor outswing doors and small commercial or residential installs where remote unlocking is needed. The reviewer found it most valuable for users who want a reliable 1200lb electromagnetic lock paired with a wireless remote and illuminated exit button, because the kit combines the lock, power supplies, RF receiver and remotes into one package that makes installation and day-to-day use straightforward.

Key Features

• 1200lb Magnetic Lock: The VIS-ML1200LED provides strong holding force for outswing doors while the LED gives clear lock status at a glance.
• Wireless Remote Control: The VIS-8005 fixed-code transmitters let users unlock the door from up to about 150 ft, adding convenient remote access from a desk or vehicle.
• RF Receiver with Multi-Remote Support: The VIS-8004 receiver supports up to 20 remotes and offers two programming modes for momentary unlock or alternate control behavior.
• Illuminated Exit Button with Delay: The VIS-7100 push-to-exit is LED-illuminated and includes a time-delay function so the door unlocks briefly after activation for controlled egress.
• Included Power Supplies: Two VISCP200 12V 2000mA power supplies are included to power the lock and electronics, simplifying wiring and reducing parts sourcing.

Who It's For

This kit best serves small businesses, property managers, or homeowners who need a simple, standalone access control solution for an indoor outswing door and prefer the convenience of remote unlock without wiring to a central access control panel. Installers who value a package with manuals, wiring diagrams, and technical support will appreciate the included documentation and components.

Those who need outdoor weatherproof hardware, integrated card readers, or networked logging of entries should look elsewhere; this system is designed for basic entry/exit control rather than enterprise-level monitoring or outdoor-rated installations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit includes lock, receiver, remotes, illuminated exit button and power supplies for straightforward installation.
• Strong 1200lb maglock with LED makes status clear and secures outswing doors reliably indoors.
• Receiver programs up to 20 remotes, giving flexible remote access for staff or family members.
• Push-to-exit with time delay supports orderly egress and visible indication.

Cons

• The system is intended for indoor use and outswing doors only, so it is not suitable for exposed exterior locations.
• Remotes use fixed code; users requiring rolling-code security or networked authentication will need a different solution.
