Access
control provides the ability to control, monitor and restrict
the movement of people, assets or vehicles in, out and around
a building or site. Products range from token based systems
and digital keypads, through to biometric identification systems
and the associated hardware.
Many
organizations are recognizing the benefits of replacing their
old key based systems with card based electronic access control
systems. Card access systems alleviate the need to replace locks
when keys are lost and give a large degree of control of who
can go where and when.
Biometric
control systems are being introduced more and more in access
control solutions for their strong security. Biometric data
in a person's fingerprint or iris is scanned for unique markers
to identify personnel and control access to sensitive areas.
The advantage of using biometric identification methods is that
biometric traits are unique to each individual, and unlike a
password or PIN, a biometric trait cannot be forgotten, lost,
or stolen, reducing overhead of access control management.
When specifying Access
Control systems, there are a few points to take in to consideration:
- What
type of technology do you require?
- Card Reader,
Proximity or Biometrics.
- How are
the access mechanisms controlled?
- Stand-alone
- Active connection
to central computer
- How many
doors do you need to control?
- What is
the construction of the doors?
- External or
high security doors will require a high security lock
- How many
people in your organisation require access?
- What doors
they go through
- Frequent changes
to personnel access levels
- What
is the risk of losing access control?
- Warranty
period and maintenance
