ACCESS
CONTROLS SYSTEMS
Access control is the control and recording of people, vehicles and goods to
and from access points like, places, entrance/exit places, computers, gates, doors, environments etc. The
one all known to us is the intercom system and
the traffic barrier. In the business sector,
another common one is the finger print reader. Code
Based access systems. A secure pin code
entered onto a touch pad/screen is required, before Access to a controlled
area is allowed. Proximity access control systems use cards or tags that are presented to readers to operate the
access control. The card or tag does not need to make direct contact with the
reader but must normally be placed within 5cm to 10cm of the reader.
Proximity cards come in a variety of sizes but most modern systems use a card
the same size and thickness as a credit card. Proximity tags can be clipped
to key rings and can provide a more convenient and robust method of operating
the access control reader. The newest technology in access control, biometric
systems use the body's unique characteristics such as the retina,
fingerprints or palm prints to determine authorised access through the use of
fingerprint readers etc Access Control Systems can also be integrated with
time and attendance systems and job costing systems to give administrators or
management full control of their facility. Biometric time & attendance
system requires staff to scan their fingerprint when they clock on or off, eliminating the risk of buddy
punching and improving decision making by delivering real time information on
staff activity. Another latest finger accesss control system is the latest
one that has just come out is the Sagem MA100, Sagem MA 500, Sagem MA 520
Reader - Compact, fast and practical fingerprint terminal for physical access
