AAS / Security Brand 30-514A Circuit Board - Camera Power - Ascent (Legacy)
The Security Brands 30-514A is a board-level replacement part for Ascent cellular access control systems. Security Brands describes this as the camera power circuit board for Ascent 4G LTE units with camera. Ascent units use multiple internal boards that handle different jobs, such as cellular control, connection terminals, camera power, camera functions, and communication. That means the board number is more important than the outside model name alone. A failed or damaged board may show up as communication trouble, camera trouble, power distribution problems, missing connection functions, or non-responsive system behavior depending on which board is affected. Before ordering, verify the original board label, harness connector locations, serial-number group, and whether the unit is a legacy or next-generation Ascent product. This item should be installed with power removed and with care taken not to disturb antenna, camera, low-voltage, and access-control wiring.

Technician Note
Board number, serial-number group, and connector layout matter more than the outside enclosure. Photograph the original board and wiring before removal so the replacement can be checked against the installed system.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the exact original board number on the installed unit.
- Check whether the Ascent unit has a camera and which camera board is installed.
- Verify serial-number group or Security Brands documentation for the unit.
- Inspect for water damage, surge damage, corrosion, or failed wiring that could damage the replacement board.
- Confirm whether service activation or programming will be required after installation.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not treat 30-511, 30-512, 30-514A, 30-514B, and 30-551 as interchangeable.
- Remove power before working inside the access control unit.
- Confirm legacy versus next-generation Ascent hardware before ordering.
Professional Advisory
Internal cellular access control board replacement should be handled by a qualified technician. Do not perform live electrical work inside the enclosure.
