⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Peterson - Office Building Manager
"We upgraded our access control system across three office floors with the CT9 Advanced Model, and it’s been flawless. The WiFi + 4G redundancy ensures zero downtime—even during network maintenance. Setting up role-based access for staff, contractors, and visitors via the cloud portal was intuitive. Fingerprint recognition is fast, under a second, and no more lost keycards!"Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lisa Tran - Gym Owner
"Perfect fit for our indoor/outdoor fitness facility. The IP65-rated unit handles everything from rain to sweat without issues. Members love the Mifare card and fingerprint options—no more fumbling with cards mid-workout. We use the mobile app to grant temporary access to guests, and real-time alerts help monitor after-hours entries. Setup took less than a day with the supplier’s support team."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Reynolds - Apartment Community Administrator
"Installed the Base Model at our main gate and clubhouse. It integrates well with our existing intercom system via Wiegand output, and residents appreciate the contactless access via smartphone NFC. Fingerprint enrollment was smooth, though a few older residents needed help at first. Only reason for 4 stars: wish the app had more multilingual support."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Logistics Facility Supervisor
"We deployed the Pro Model at our warehouse with over 300 employees. The 5,000-user capacity and dual-SIM 4G have been lifesavers in areas with spotty WiFi. The Linux OS allows us to run custom scripts for shift-based access, and the 0.7-second biometric response keeps entry lines moving. Even survived a flash flood—IP68 rating is no joke."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 10 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Raj Patel - Hotel Operations Director
"We use the CT9 Advanced Model for staff-only zones—kitchen, maintenance, and admin areas. The ability to customize access schedules per department is a game-changer. Housekeeping gets access only during shifts, and we can instantly revoke credentials when staff leave. Remote management via app means I can approve access from anywhere. Highly reliable and professional-grade."Purchase Date: May 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months

Alex Turner - Access Control Consultant
"The CT9 series stands out with its Linux-based flexibility and multi-protocol support. For integrators, the ability to script custom logic via Modbus or RS485 is a huge advantage over closed systems. I’ve recommended the Pro Model for high-traffic facilities where uptime and speed are critical—its biometric performance and failover connectivity exceed most enterprise-grade competitors."
Dr. Elena Fitzgerald - IoT & Building Automation Specialist
"In my work designing smart access ecosystems, the CT9’s cloud integration and 4G/WiFi dual connectivity make it ideal for distributed or retrofit installations. The fact that it supports both 125kHz legacy cards and 13.56MHz Mifare/NFC means clients can transition gradually. Plus, the ISO 14443A/B compliance ensures biometric data is handled securely—essential for GDPR and CCPA compliance."
