What happens to the controller if the Internet is disconnected?
If you disconnect the Internet, the controller will continue to operate offline, managing the access control system at the local network level without connecting to cloud services or remote servers. However, some features that require access to cloud data or remote servers for updates, logging, or other services may be temporarily unavailable. This may include software updates, database access to verify identifiers, or event reports that may be transferred to the cloud for processing.
Thus, the controller will continue basic functionality locally, but some additional capabilities may be limited until internet connectivity is restored.
