Modernize, Don't Replace

Your WIN-PAK Hardware Still Works. The Experience Around It Doesn't.

WIN-PAK systems are workhorses. The panels and readers on your walls will keep doing their job for years. What has aged is everything around them: a workstation in a back office, no phone access, no way to lock a door from the parking lot, and no simple way for a manager to add a badge without calling IT or an integrator.

The usual answer is rip-and-replace: new panels, new readers, new cards, everyone re-enrolled, and a project measured in months. That is a lot of money to spend replacing hardware that isn't broken.

We built a third option. Our cloud platform connects to the WIN-PAK system you already have and gives your team a modern web and phone experience, while WIN-PAK and your existing hardware keep running underneath. It comes from the same team that manages access control for one of Alabama's largest counties and for a healthcare network with more than 70 locations.

What Modernization Adds to Your WIN-PAK System

Everything below runs on top of the WIN-PAK system, panels, and readers you already own.

Door Control From Anywhere

Lock, unlock, and check live door status from a phone or browser — no workstation in a back office, no VPN.

People & Badges Without the Workstation

Add a person, issue or disable a card, and change access levels from the web. Changes are written to WIN-PAK, so your system of record stays intact.

Emergency Lockdown

Lock every door, or a defined group of doors, in one tap. When the emergency is over, doors return to their normal schedule.

Temporary & Visitor Access

Issue a time-limited PIN for a contractor or visitor that works only for the doors and hours you choose.

Live Events & Phone Alerts

See access granted and denied events as they happen, and get notifications on your phone.

Every Site on One Screen

Multiple buildings — even multiple WIN-PAK servers — under one login, with a cross-site view and a site switcher.

Door Schedules

Set timed door openings for business hours, events, and holidays without touching the WIN-PAK workstation.

Plain-Language Commands

Type what you need — “add a person,” “unlock the front door” — and the platform does it. Less training, fewer calls to your integrator.

Two-Factor Sign-In

Protect the keys to your building with two-factor sign-in for the people who manage it.

How WIN-PAK Modernization Works

Three steps, and your doors keep working through all of them.

01

Assess

We review your WIN-PAK edition and version, panels, readers, and network, and confirm compatibility before you commit to anything.

02

Connect

A small bridge service is installed alongside your WIN-PAK server. It connects outbound to the 10x cloud, so there are no inbound firewall rules to open and no VPN to maintain.

03

Manage

Your team signs in from a browser or phone. WIN-PAK keeps running as your system of record, and your panels, readers, and cards stay exactly where they are.

Modernize vs. Rip-and-Replace

Both get you web and phone management. Only one makes you buy your building's hardware twice.

Replacement is still the right call when hardware is failing — and we do that too, with cloud-native systems. Modernization is for WIN-PAK systems that work fine but feel a decade old.

WIN-PAK Modernization FAQ

The questions facility, IT, and security managers ask us first.

Do we have to replace our WIN-PAK panels or readers?

No. That is the point of modernization. Your existing panels, readers, wiring, and cards stay in place. Our platform works through WIN-PAK itself, so the hardware WIN-PAK already manages keeps doing its job.

Does WIN-PAK keep running after we modernize?

Yes. WIN-PAK remains your system of record. People, cards, and access levels you change in our platform are written to WIN-PAK, and your WIN-PAK workstation keeps working the way it always has.

Which WIN-PAK versions and editions do you support?

It depends on your edition, version, and how your server is set up, so we confirm compatibility during a free assessment before you commit to anything. If you are on WIN-PAK 4.8 or earlier, keep in mind that Honeywell technical support for those versions has expired, and we can help you plan an upgrade alongside modernization.

Is Honeywell ending support for WIN-PAK?

Not for the current release. According to Honeywell's WIN-PAK Technical Support Lifecycle notice (posted February 4, 2025), technical support for WIN-PAK 4.8 through 4.8.5 expired on January 1, 2026, and versions 4.7 and earlier expired before that. WIN-PAK 4.9 is Honeywell's current release.

Do we need to open firewall ports or set up a VPN?

No inbound ports and no VPN. A small bridge service installed alongside your WIN-PAK server makes an outbound connection to the 10x cloud, and your team signs in through a browser or phone, with two-factor sign-in available.

Can one login manage several buildings or WIN-PAK servers?

Yes. Multi-site organizations get a single sign-in with a cross-site view and a site switcher, even when each location runs its own WIN-PAK server.

What does WIN-PAK modernization cost?

It depends on the number of doors, sites, and WIN-PAK servers, so we quote after a free assessment. Because your panels, readers, and cards stay in place, the cost is mostly software and setup rather than new hardware and installation labor.

Where do you provide WIN-PAK modernization?

We are licensed in Alabama (AESBL# 26-002418) and Florida (Certified Alarm System Contractor II, EG13000956), with Georgia and North Carolina licensing in progress. If you are somewhere else, try the demo and tell us where you are, and we will let you know as we expand.

Can I see it before talking to anyone?

Yes. The live demo is the real platform running against a sample building. There is no signup and nothing to install.
