Different Kinds of Access Controls
Keypads
Keypads are used in simple access control systems to enable authorised users to enter their personal identification number and gain entry to a facility. It is now common place for keypads to have a fully integrated proximity reader for greater security.
Proximity Reader
A proximity reader is able to read the ID code of a proximity card or token without coming into physical contact with it; unlike swipe or insertion card readers which require physical contact.
Smart Cards & Tokens
A wide range of credential methods have been used over the years to work with access control applications. These include magnetically coded insertion keys and cards, traditional Weigand badges, proximity cards and tokens, photo ID cards, RFID, key FOBS and smart cards.
Electronic Locking Devices
Access control systems rely on a variety of locking mechanisms in order to lock and unlock the physical barrier that is controlling the entry point. It is critical that the correct electronic lock type matches the physical barrier in terms of appearance, strength and performance.
Management Software
Management software allows the easy administration of your access control system by allowing you to customise the operation of your system from a central location, typically your office PC. Some features include:
- Configure the site and all system components.
- Manage cardholders, including their access, cards and photo identification.
- Monitor alarms and control all aspects of the system
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an access control system?
Can I control access remotely?
Yes, you can control access remotely with an access control system. These systems allow you to grant or deny entry from anywhere, providing you with the flexibility to manage access even when you are not physically present.
What happens if someone loses their keycard or fob?
The access control system allows for the lost credential to be deactivated instantly. This means that there is no need to replace locks, as the lost keycard or fob can simply be deactivated to prevent unauthorised access. This feature enhances security and convenience, ensuring that only authorised individuals can gain entry.
Is access control better than traditional locks?
It will depend on each situation however, access control systems offer enhanced security, convenience, and flexibility compared to traditional locks. They are particularly beneficial for businesses and properties that require a higher level of security and the ability to manage access remotely.
What happens during a power outage?
During a power outage, access control systems are designed to maintain security and functionality. Many systems are equipped with backup power sources, such as batteries or generators, to ensure they continue to operate. Additionally, access control systems can be configured to either fail-safe or fail-secure modes. In fail-safe mode, doors unlock during a power outage to ensure safety, while in fail-secure mode, doors remain locked to maintain security.
