Elevator manufacturers offer hardware and software for this product. Building access and security companies like Honeywell, Schlage, and ADT offer cloud-based systems with state of the art technology — like biometric and mobile phone access. These companies charge monthly fees which can range quite a bit.
In addition to the monthly fee, costly elevator work might be required. For example, the card reader needs to pull data from the elevator cab to the service provider. In this case, the elevator may need a new traveling cable to send that data. Although the companies listed in 5 can provide card readers, a stand-alone elevator card reader is another option. Without cloud storage, mobile access, and other features, this option would be slightly less expensive.
However, the same traveling cable issues apply. Check what type of wires your card reader needs for power. The next cheapest option is the Keypad. Without the need for individual cards, RFIDs, and card management, this option only requires one piece of hardware — the PIN pad itself.
The pin pad can be mounted in the elevator and scheduled with a timer only to activate floors at specific times. Multiple vendors sell keypads. Usually this will only be found on the call panel of the building's main floor. Insert the key. Turn the key to either "bypass" or "reset" and hold for a few moments to allow the control system to reset. Return the key to the off position. Remove key. Test for resumed functioning by pressing the up button. The elevator should respond normally.
