Access Control Systems
Can range from a simple keypad to magnetic card readers and proximity devices all the way up to multi-door computer based systems providing total control and monitoring of sensitive areas of your business premises.
Coded or Keypad Entry
Coded or keypad entry is probably the easiest and most cost effective form of Access Control available today. It provides access using a commonly known code, or in more sophisticated systems a personal identification number (PIN) known only to the individual. Card access systems require persons that have access rights to a particular area to carry with them a swipe or proximity card that is ‘offered up’ to a reader head. Swipe cards as the name suggests require the user to swipe the card through the reader head in order to gain access. Some of these swipe systems include numeric keypads for added security.
Proximity Readers
Proximity readers meanwhile require the user only to wave a tag or token in front of a reader. This kind of system is similar in operation to those used in many stores to detect shoplifters. As there are no moving parts or slots that can be tampered with proximity systems offer the perfect solution when protecting external doors. They are virtually impossible to destroy or to vandalise and in most cases the reader is located within the protected premises, resulting in an even greater level of physical protection.
Biometric Systems
Biometric Systems are possibly the most secure method of access control in a high security environment. They work by distinguishing the personal attributes of the individual using the system, using such things as voice recognition, fingerprint scanning and retinal recognition.
PC Based Systems
Like all security systems the key to efficient Access Control is good management. A system which can be programmed centrally through a standard desktop PC offers the best management solution. These systems provide the operator with an overview of the security of the building. All of the above devices and media types can be incorporated in one simple to manage system, allowing the user to print reports on those with access and those who has been into a particular area. Access to particular areas can be restricted by security level or only granted during specific time slots. Should a fire or other emergency arise an override facility can be pre-programmed to unlock all doors automatically thus ensuring the safety of all the occupants.
