Camden Door Controls CV-550SPK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Camden CV-550SPK run a door on its own, or does it need a separate access control panel?
It works either way. The CV-550SPK is a stand alone single door controller with its own onboard database of up to 20,000 users, one Form C relay to drive the lock, a request to exit input and a door contact input, so it can run an opening with no panel behind it. It also has 26-bit Wiegand output, so you can wire it back to an existing access control system and use it as a reader instead.
2) Is the Camden CV-550SPK keypad reader rated for exterior mounting in a cold climate?
Yes. Cast metal housing, IP68 weather rating, and an operating range of -49F to 113F (-45C to 55C) mean it will sit outside through a northern winter. Camden lists it for indoor or outdoor use. The keypad is backlit and vandal resistant, which is why it gets specified on exterior entries at schools and industrial sites.
3) What credentials work with the Camden CV-550SPK prox reader?
It reads 125KHz proximity credentials in both EM and HID formats, including HID 26, 34 and 37 bit. Read range is up to 2 inches (50mm), so it is a present-the-card reader, not a long range one. Card formats from 22 to 66 bit Wiegand are supported.
4) Can I require both a card and a PIN at the door with the Camden CV-550SPK?
Yes. It supports card only, PIN only, or card plus PIN, so you can run a normal credential during business hours and force dual authentication on a sensitive opening. PIN length is configurable from 4 to 6 digits.
5) What power supply and lock can the Camden CV-550SPK switch?
Power it from 12 VDC plus or minus 10 percent; idle draw is 25 mA. The Form C relay is rated 1 Amp at 30 VDC, as are the alarm and ring bell outputs. That contact rating is fine for switching a small load directly, but most maglocks and electric strikes draw more than 1 amp inrush, so run those through a relay or a dedicated lock power supply rather than off the onboard contacts.
6) Can I add a second reader on the inside of the door to the Camden CV-550SPK?
Yes. It accepts an external Wiegand card reader input from 26 to 66 bit, so you can wire a second reader to it and run the opening as a dual credential door, in and out, off the one controller.
7) Does the Camden CV-550SPK report a door left propped open or someone prying at the reader?
Both. There is a door contact input with adjustable door open and door alarm timing for propped or forced door conditions, plus a tamper alarm output if the unit itself is attacked. The alarm output switches 1 Amp at 30 VDC.
8) Do I have to enroll 20,000 cards one at a time on the Camden CV-550SPK?
No. Batch card and tag enrollment is built in, so a property manager handing out a stack of sequential fobs to tenants can load them as a block instead of presenting each one. That is the practical difference between this and a small keypad when you are standing up a whole building.
