Frequently Asked Questions

Verkada is a cloud-native platform that eliminates the on-premises server and NVR equipment that traditional access control requires. Firmware updates are automatic, credential management is web-based, and the system scales without adding infrastructure. As a certified Verkada partner, TCG installations qualify for full manufacturer support and warranty.
Yes — Verkada offers a unified platform for access control and cloud cameras. When deployed together, every door event is linked to a synchronized video timestamp, giving your security team complete visual context for every access event without switching between systems.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows door controllers and card readers to be powered directly from your network switch through the structured cabling — eliminating the need for a separate power supply at every door. TCG handles the PoE switch configuration and cabling as part of the access control deployment.
Cloud-managed access control systems like Verkada store credential data locally on the door controller. If the internet connection drops, the system continues to grant or deny access based on the last-synced credential database. Full functionality returns automatically when connectivity is restored.

Why Cloud-Managed Access Control Beats Legacy Systems

Traditional access control requires an on-premises server, a dedicated IT person, and a maintenance contract to keep it running. Cloud-based access control systems like Verkada eliminate all of that — and TCG installs and manages them across Michigan.

Access Control Cost & FAQ

Common Questions About Access Control Installation

How much does access control installation cost in Michigan?

Cost depends on the number of doors, credential type, and whether you're starting from scratch or upgrading existing hardware. A single-door Verkada cloud system typically starts around $1,500–$3,500 installed. Multi-door and campus systems are quoted per-site. TCG provides detailed, itemized quotes at no charge — contact us to get one for your facility.

What’s included in a TCG access control installation?

Every installation includes: site survey and door hardware assessment, Verkada controller and reader installation, door strike or maglocks wired and tested, cloud enrollment and credential setup, admin walkthrough and training, and post-installation support. We handle everything from conduit to cloud.

Is cloud-based access control more expensive than traditional systems?

Not necessarily. Cloud systems eliminate server hardware, dedicated IT, and costly software licenses. The ongoing cost is a Verkada license (per door per year), which is often offset by lower IT overhead and faster support response. For most small and mid-size facilities, total cost of ownership is lower with cloud-based systems over a 5-year horizon.

How long does access control installation take?

A single-door installation typically takes 4–8 hours. Multi-door systems are scheduled over one to several days depending on building size. TCG works around your operational hours to minimize disruption — evening and weekend installation available for mission-critical facilities.

Do you service and maintain access control systems after installation?

Yes. TCG offers ServicePAK maintenance agreements that cover 24/7 emergency response, annual system audits, firmware updates, and credential management support. We’re the same team that installed your system — no ticket queues, no third-party dispatching.
