The DorTag VI is a standalone RFID access control system designed to control:
A “1 reader” configuration means:
- One entry point is controlled
- One RFID reader is connected to the controller
In simple terms:
It’s a complete entry control system where users present RFID cards/tags to unlock a door or gate.
System Components (1 Reader Setup)
A standard DorTag VI kit includes:
Controller Unit
- Stores user credentials
- Makes access decisions
- Controls relay output (door/gate)
RFID Reader (1x)
- Reads RFID cards/tags
- Usually mounted near the door
Power Supply
User Credentials
- RFID cards or tags (125 kHz or MIFARE depending on model)

Functional Operation
How it works:
- User presents RFID card/tag
- Reader sends ID to controller
- Controller checks database
- If valid → relay activates
- Door/gate unlocks
Wiring Overview (1 Reader System)
Typical connections:
- Reader → Controller
- Data lines (Wiegand or proprietary)
- Power (12V)
- Controller → Lock/Motor
- Controller → Power
Typical Applications
- Office access doors
- Apartment complexes
- Small commercial sites
- Gate entry systems
Especially common in:
- Small-to-medium installations
- Sites that don’t need networked systems
Limitations (Important)
- Standalone system
- No cloud or remote management
- Limited scalability
- Basic security compared to modern IP systems
Expansion Possibilities
Some versions allow:
- Additional reader (exit reader)
- Integration with:
- Exit button
- Alarm systems
But the “1 reader” version = single entry control only
