Michigan Security Systems is your authorized PDK (ProdataKey) dealer and installer. We design, install, program, and service the complete PDK product line — Cloud Node systems, io door controllers, mobile credentials, Red high-security hardware, and the PDK.io cloud platform — for commercial businesses across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
As an authorized PDK dealer and installer, Michigan Security Systems provides the complete ProdataKey product line — from the Cloud Node gateway to io door controllers, readers, credentials, and PDK.io cloud management software.
The PDK Cloud Node is the heart of every PDK access control system — the primary system panel and gateway to the PDK.io cloud platform. Each site requires one Cloud Node with an internet connection. It includes a single door controller built in, communicates with all local io door controllers, and stores data on-site in case of internet outage. The Server Edition (SE) slides into a standard 19" rack for enterprise deployments.
PDK io controllers scale your system one door at a time (Single io) or eight doors at a time (Eight io). Available in Ethernet, PoE, and wireless configurations, these controllers connect to the Cloud Node and expand your system to any size. The Eight io+ includes onboard lock power for new installations. All units feature fully supervised power circuits that monitor input, output, battery voltage, and overall controller health.
PDK Red™ products lead the industry in secure communication protocols — OSDP, mobile, and fully encrypted credential communication. Designed for government agencies, healthcare facilities, and high-security commercial environments, PDK Red hardware provides NDAA-compliant access control with the same intuitive PDK.io cloud management and plug-and-play installation experience.
For outdoor access control applications — parking lots, gated communities, storage facilities, and facility perimeters — PDK's Pedestal io and Gate io controllers provide rugged, weatherproof solutions. The Pedestal io features a ruggedized aluminum alloy keypad reader with tamper-proof sensor and onboard doorbell functionality, while the Gate io handles automatic gate and barrier arm control.
PDK.io is the always-on cloud management platform that powers every PDK access control system. Manage users, assign credentials, control doors, monitor real-time activity, and receive instant alerts — all from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop, from anywhere in the world. PDK.io 2.0 supports multi-site management, allowing credential holders to span multiple locations in a single database with unified administration.
PDK offers a full lineup of credential readers and credential types to match every facility's requirements. From standard Wiegand card readers and sleek touch readers to PIN keypad readers and rugged outdoor readers, PDK has a solution for every door. Credentials include mobile app access, traditional HID-compatible cards and fobs, stickers, and wristbands — with no per-credential fees on eligible systems.
Real PDK installations across Michigan businesses — add your own project photos to showcase your access control work.
PDK (ProdataKey) represents a fundamental shift from legacy, server-based access control to a fully cloud-managed, mobile-first platform. Traditional access control systems require on-site servers, manual updates, and costly technician visits for simple changes. PDK eliminates these limitations entirely.
With PDK, Michigan business owners and administrators can add a new employee's access credentials from their smartphone in seconds, revoke a terminated employee's access from anywhere in the world, and check which doors are open or locked across multiple locations simultaneously — all without calling a technician.
Michigan Security Systems brings deep PDK installation expertise to your project, ensuring your Cloud Node is properly configured, your io controllers are optimally placed, your credentials are set up correctly, and your staff is fully trained on the PDK.io platform before we leave your site.
Cloud hosting eliminates server maintenance, IT overhead, and on-site failure points. Your system lives in the cloud — always up to date, always available.
Grant or revoke access, lock or unlock doors, and monitor your facility in real time — all from your smartphone without calling a technician.
PDK hardware meets U.S. government NDAA standards — suitable for government agencies, schools, healthcare, and compliance-sensitive Michigan businesses.
Unlike many access control platforms that charge per credential, PDK offers unlimited mobile credentials on eligible systems — significant savings as your workforce grows.
PDK.io automatically delivers software upgrades and security patches via the cloud. No scheduled downtime, no technician visits, no outdated firmware.
Receive real-time push notifications for forced entries, door propping, denied access attempts, and any custom event — immediate awareness, 24/7.
From initial site assessment and system design to installation, programming, training, and ongoing service — Michigan Security Systems is your long-term PDK access control partner.

Common questions Michigan businesses ask about PDK (ProdataKey) cloud-based access control installation and our services.
Yes. Michigan Security Systems is an authorized PDK (ProdataKey) installer serving Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Our technicians are trained on the full PDK product line — Cloud Nodes, io controllers, PDK Red high-security hardware, and PDK.io cloud platform administration — and provide professional design, installation, programming, and service for all PDK systems.
PDK Cloud Nodes store all access control data locally on-site. If your internet connection is interrupted, previously authorized credentials continue to work and the system continues granting or denying access normally based on your programmed rules. PDK.io cloud management is simply unavailable during the outage — your doors still function as programmed.
A single PDK Cloud Node SE can support up to 1,000 doors on a single platform using combinations of Single io, Eight io, Eight io+, Pedestal io, and Gate io door controllers. WiMAC™ wireless controllers reach up to 1 mile line-of-sight. Michigan Security Systems will design the right controller topology for your facility's specific layout and door count.
Yes. PDK system takeovers are a specialty of ours. Backward-compatible io hardware makes replacing legacy access control panels straightforward — we remove the existing panel, install a PDK Cloud Node and io controllers, connect to your existing door hardware where compatible, and bring your entire system into the cloud.
