Access Control Systems
Access Control Systems can range from a simple keypad, to magnetic card readers,
proximity devices all the way up to multi-door PC Based systems providing total control
and monitoring of sensitive areas of your business premises
Coded or
Keypad Entry
Coded Entry is probably the simplest and cheapest form of Access Control System
currently available and provides access using a commonly known code, or in more
sophisticated systems by a personal identification number (PIN) known only to the
individual user. Card Access systems require that anyone who
has access to a particular area carries about them a swipe or proximity card which is
offered up to a reader head. Swipe cards as the name suggests, requires that the user
swipe the card through the reader head to gain access. Some swipe systems incorporate
numeric keypads for added security.
Proximity Readers
Proximity readers on the other hand, require only that the user waves a tag or
token in front of a reader. This type of system is similar in operation to that used in
many shops to detect shoplifting. Because there are no moving parts or slots that can be
tampered with proximity systems offer the ultimate solution for protecting external doors.
They are highly vandal resistant and in many cases the reader can be located within the
protected premises, offering an even greater level of physical protection.
Biometric
Systems
Biometric Systems are probably the most secure method of controlling access in a
high security environment. They operate by distinguishing the personal attributes of the
person using the system, such as voice recognition, fingerprint recognition or retinal
scan.
PC Based Systems
As with all security systems the key to effective Access Control is good
management. A system which can be programmed centrally through a standard desktop PC
offers the ultimate management solution. PC based systems give the operator an overview of
the security of the premises. They can incorporate any of the above devices and media
types in one simple to manage system, print reports on who has access and who has been
into a particular area. Access to particular areas can be granted by security level or
only during specific time periods. In the event of a fire or other emergency an override
facility can be programmed to unlock all doors automatically to ensure the safety of the
occupants.
