Access Control helps us to restrict access to a premises, building, office or even server room. There is various methods that can be applied to Access Control and one of these are biometric based. Biometrics Fingerprint Scanners are becoming more and more popular. The great advantage of Biometric Fingerprint Scanners are that no cards are required. The user can never forget their card or tag at home.

There are some challenges with Biometric Fingerprint Scanners, and that is not every person has a readable fingerprint. Our Biometric Fingerprint Scanners are equipped with Built-in RFiD Readers, thus making the system usable for a Biometric and non Biometric user. Visitors can easily be issued with a Card while the pre-registered employees can simply use their fingerprint to open the doors or turnstiles.

How does the Access Control Biometric system work? Basically a device is installed to control all acces to a specific door, namely a Door Controller. The Door Controller connects to 2 readers, one installed on each side of the door, thus 1 for scanning In and 1 for scanning Out. These readers are the only devices exposed to the user and they are relatively inexpensive in comparison to the Door Controller. Should the readers be damaged, they can easily and cost effectively be replaced, whilst the Door Controller is hidden away in the roof or in a near by server room.

Access Control Software play a unique roll in allowing the user to configure the system. Various features are available on the software:

Access Levels: This feature will allow a user access to certain areas only, while restricting other areas where he or she is not authorized to enter.

Time Zone: The Time Zone is very important, by linking a user to a certain Time Zone, we can control the time he or she is allowed acces to an area. If we had to use the Lunch Room as an example, no employee should be allowed to gain access to the Lunch Room unless it is Lunch Time.

Anti-Passback: This is a very unique feature that was originally designed for Cards or Tags. Anti-Passback prevents a user to pass his card back to a friend who forgot his RFiD card at home, thus the RFiD card can only be used once going in. Once the user is in, the system will know that he has entered the zone, and therefore cannot enter the zone again unless he exits the zone by using his RFiD card. The same can be applied for Biometrics, where the user cannot enter a zone twice without exiting the zone first.

There are many more features to the our Access Contol System, please setup a meeting with us to discuss your unique requirements.
