ACCESS CONTROL Security for today’s buildings,
campuses and complex facilities
Primarily a keyless
entry system, an access control system serves as a central
bank of information that guarantees that only authorized
personnel will have access to secure facilities. This
protects sensitive data or assets from unauthorized
individuals. In government and industry, an integrated
access control system is essential in security sensitive and
mission critical environments.
Access control systems
may operate as a stand alone solution or can be integrated
with both video surveillance and intrusion detection systems
(IDS). Video surveillance systems are installed to record
activity in designated areas and to allow the quick
retrieval of data to support security personnel. An IDS
solution is usually designed to detect intruders and to
transmit information off-site to a third party monitoring
station.
Integrating
the access control system with a video and intrusion
detection system provides clients with a comprehensive
security solution, enabling simultaneous alarm, monitoring,
digital video and data retrieval of security events.
The access control
system utilizes a dedicated server, this server, houses the
system’s security database. This database includes
individual personnel data, image (photo), biometric
information, security approvals, user ID, passcode and pin,
or any combination of data thereof.
Contingent upon the
access control format chosen, authorized personnel may
obtain access to facilities using one or more of the
following combinations:
Cards - Proximity, magstripe, biometric, smart card, RFID
tracking devices
Intellectual Information -
Personal Identification Number
Biometric Identification:
face, hand geometry, fingerprints
Aside from an incorporated access control system for
employed personnel, the system may be implemented to provide
a resource for visitor management, allowing security
officials the ability to monitor entry gate and visitor
activity at your facility.
