Access control secures a facility using electronic devices designed to restrict entry to designated areas or buildings in general, through various forms of detection. Through identifiable recognition, be it key cards, personal identification numbers, or other readers, access can be granted or denied. Incorporating physical hardware attached to the selected area, with their corresponding software which reads and authenticates, these systems can range in complexity from a single unit to several interconnected sensors which form a central network.
Access Control Systems work through a sequence of unified, automated events, featuring secure access and recorded information concerning entry or denial. There a three essential elements to an electronically controlled system, the Tag, the Tag Reader and the Physical panel itself which represents your line to protection. To onlookers, the Tag, can take many forms, a card, token and more options, even a smartphone. The identification number of the Tag is encrypted and always exclusive. However, there are circumstances which may necessitate one tag being given to several people on a certain level as well as individual tags being allocated for highly sensitive areas only to select individuals.
This is your main controller, the centre of the system. Not to be confused with door intercoms which allow voice calls to those in the facility, the access control panel stores the approved information structured by the system official. The control panel controls the electrical lock which will respond, if authenticated, immediately.
Performs a scan which inspects the code presented, to authenticate the user's authorisation against a database, to verify if access to a specific area is permitted. It decodes the data and then sends the key code to the access control panel.
The tag reader is fitted on one or both sides of a door, the function of which is determined on whether the system controls one or both sides of the door for entry and/or exit. This panel will open the door if the data corresponds with the information in the system, or remains closed if it does not and accordingly the door remains locked.
The administrator for the system has flexible and powerful control over access settings. Data can be changed at any time; if an employee has left or lost their card, tag or code, it’s easily fixed. To disable and reassign permissions can even be done remotely.
This style allows for verbal verification between the visitor and the recipient. When a visitor presses at the door station, it informs the recipient that someone wishes to gain entry. Verbal communication can take place and the base station can unlock the door and allow entry, if they so desire This system is very cost effective but would be best suited for areas where someone is able to answer at all times.
The incorporation of video cameras to provide a visual record of who enters and exits a facility and can be used to detect unapproved access attempts. Video surveillance systems are customisable with facilities for motion detection, analytics, integration into other systems and monitoring, allowing for rapid response. Please be mindful that video surveillance access control systems must comply with privacy laws and regulations. In a similar set-up, the video intercom system has a main answering machine but also incorporates a camera in order to provide visual validation of the visitor’s identity.
