Software House iSTAR Edge G2 — Specs & Hong Kong Installation
OSDP-verified cyber-hardened IP edge controller for up to eight readers and one million local cardholders.
Best for: Standalone edge / small floors
Product overview
The Software House iSTAR Edge G2 is a edge door controller from the iSTAR G2 series, selected by Swan CCTV for professional projects across Hong Kong and Macau. OSDP-verified cyber-hardened IP edge controller for up to eight readers and one million local cardholders. It is best suited for standalone edge / small floors.
As a control panel, iSTAR Edge G2 sits at the centre of an intrusion system: it receives signals from door/window contacts, motion detectors, and wireless sensors, then reports events to keypads, apps, and (where configured) a monitoring centre. Swan CCTV programs partitions, user codes, entry/exit delays, and communicator paths to match how Hong Kong homes and shops are actually used — for example separate arming for a ground-floor shop and upstairs flat.
Typical Hong Kong deployments include compact apartments with metal gates and aluminium windows, village houses needing outdoor beams, and small offices that need silent night-arming with daytime partial protection. We supply genuine Software House hardware, complete site survey, neat cabling or wireless placement, and commissioning with your preferred monitoring or self-monitoring setup.
Compared with generic online product listings, this page reflects how Swan CCTV actually deploys iSTAR Edge G2 on local sites: we confirm power availability, building management rules, false-alarm risk, and monitoring options before quoting. Request a site survey if you need a tailored bill of materials.

Hong Kong / local context
Hong Kong properties often combine aluminium windows, metal gates, compact rooms, and mixed residential-commercial use. Swan CCTV selects iSTAR Edge G2 when its zone capacity, detection pattern, or video performance matches those constraints.
For village houses and duplexes, partitioned arming helps protect ground-floor shops overnight while living areas stay flexible.
In multi-tenant buildings, we coordinate with management offices on cable trays, riser access, and approved working hours.
Ask Swan CCTV for a Hong Kong site survey if you are comparing iSTAR Edge G2 with other Software House models for your layout.
