Home Security Heading V2

access control and biometrics

For residences where security is crucial, Access Control and Biometrics allows only authorised individuals or vehicles to enter or exit your home or premises. Access Control and Biometrics are a powerful technology that can enhance the overall effectiveness of a security solution. The real benefit lies in the ability to integrate it with other systems - Access Control and Biometrics is often combined with CCTV Cameras or intercoms to identify the movement of people or vehicles. Both Access Cards and Biometrics can be used to control the movement of people and vehicles into or out of your home.

Access Card Reader

Being similar in size to a credit card, an access card, also known as a proximity card can identify individuals and allow access and egress to a pre-defined area by simply scanning the access card in front of the proximity card reader. The proximity card reader then analyses the data stored in the access cards and determines whether the user has authorised entry based on access level, date and/or time. The reader then stores the information and records the activity for future reference or reports.

This type of system can monitor individuals’ access, protect employees and provide full activity reports. As well as providing security, Access Card reports can also assist with Occupational Health and Safety issues and Performance Management. Access control software is password protected and allows administrator access to particular programs, networks and drives.

Biometric Security

Biometric Security - Access Control - Signature SecurityRather than using a physical access card to gain entry and exit from premises, Biometrics uses unique human characteristics to identify the person seeking entry to a controlled area. For example, a finger can be placed on a reader and the Biometrics Access Control system can identify the unique characteristics of the fingerprint. The Biometrics reader can then regulate entry permitting only authorised users access to an area. Biometrics can remove the worry involved with stolen, loaned or lost electronic access cards by using an individual's distinguishing features to prevent unauthorised access.
