Multi-door
and multi-site installations for large offices, industrial units,
warehouses, hospitals and universities use a front-end computer which
connects to a network of door controllers and enables access to be
controlled by card readers.
There are a huge range of Access Control options available and
although most are used for security reasons some are used for
timekeeping or to manage the flow of people into or around buildings.
Access Control Provides Flexible Control To Buildings, Security and More
Access control technology provides flexible control over access to your building and benefits organisations of all sizes as a low cost, easily maintained solution to managing exit and entry at one or more entrances. However, it is more than just a means to improve security at entrances and exits.
Access control technology provides flexible control over access to your building and benefits organisations of all sizes as a low cost, easily maintained solution to managing exit and entry at one or more entrances. However, it is more than just a means to improve security at entrances and exits.
Most organisations, not just those with
security concerns, require only authorised persons to be granted access
to their premises. Access control systems provide greater control over
buildings and protect assets from theft, nuisance and vandalism but that
is only part of the story.
Although these systems are most
commonly seen controlling the access of individuals into areas in a
building the electronic solutions enable organisations to monitor the
location of people within a building and to manage user permissions and
so look after the flow of people around a building.
Different Access Control Systems from Single Door to Multi Site
Basic systems typically protect a single door usually with audio entry or keypad/PIN devices, although video entry systems are also used fairly frequently. These are commonly used by smaller businesses and premises.
Basic systems typically protect a single door usually with audio entry or keypad/PIN devices, although video entry systems are also used fairly frequently. These are commonly used by smaller businesses and premises.
Larger premises more typically need one or two doors
monitored and so use card readers controlled by local door controllers
to achieve control over authorisation. These systems are more commonly
favoured by schools, retail units and small offices.
Access control has embraced biometric
technology, with fingerprints, which are unique and difficult to
duplicate being used for even tighter security and in some instances
they use an iris scanner instead of fingerprints. Smart card technology
is also popular especially on door entry systems and logging systems. It
can be used more flexibly than some other access control systems; it is
not limited to just controlling access through doors and into
buildings. Smart-card technology enables secure logins onto computers and
to purchase goods, without the need for money.
Access control is
used by some organizations to monitor time keeping and can be integrated
with payroll systems or used to monitor the reliability of suppliers.
However, more commonly the technology is integrated with CCTV and used
for security purposes than for monitoring staff and suppliers.
