Digital Access control doesn’t just have to be for businesses, it can be an effective, efficient and extremely safe way to protect your family home.
Why move to a Keyless access?
Access control gives you control over who gains entry to your property.
Keys also do this - so what is the difference?
When you lose a key, you have the expense and inconvenience of replacing locks and all the other keys, or you accept the home is no longer 100% secure. With access control you simply void a token from the system. There is no need to replace locks or keys. The security of your home is always maintained.
Why use PC based access control?
- Central control - all doors can be controlled from one place
- Reporting - an event is generated every time a token is used to gain access
- Complete flexibility - access can be granted to users according to time and place i.e. cleaners, workmen etc.
What are the advantages of central control?
“Full control of the system from your home”.
- Users are added and instantly have the access rights that you permit
- Individual access rights can be altered, changes instantly update at the doors.
- Tokens voided - someone leaves without handing back their token, simply bar that user token from the system.
Modern multiple doors systems give a huge amount of flexibility to the home. Generating water shed time control are available with these systems, this gives control over different types of family members such as teenagers or workers at your property. This extra level of control allows for a more flexible approach to home Security.
As well as providing a high level of access security these systems also allow for Monitoring of people to location, this can also be referenced against time. This extra dimension to the system allows for further integration into the residential environment. Fire Alarm register is also available with this system
What different types of access equipment are available?
Keypads
Keypads are the most basic of access control entry equipment, whilst its simplicity can limit functionality, Keypads are easy to use and require very little maintenance.
Swipe Cards
Swipe cards can be divided into three main sub-categories - Magnetic, Infra-red and Weigand. To the user they all operate in a similar manner, the card is swiped through a reader, but each category requires its own reader technology. The use of a card allows for extra information to be carried on it; for example a picture, text, bar coder, and depending on the card, another data stripe, for example a magstripe can be added to an infra-red card.
Proximity
Proximity readers offer a totally non-contact solution. Unlike other types of readers, proximity readers can be hidden behind walls or doors. These readers are very useful in places where vandalism is high or likely to occur. Proximity readers work in a similar way to hands-free systems although allow for greater distances between the reader and the proximity device. It is possible to use proximity readers in conjunction with car park barriers.
Intercoms
Audio and Video door Intercom systems are ideal in situations where visitors are regular and their identity cannot be verified locally. The two main types of door entry systems are Video and Audio. Both of these systems grant access to a remote door.
As with single door access control solutions, door entry systems can use the same types of locking mechanisms. Door entry systems can also be used in multiple locations; this is particularly useful in multiple occupancy environments such as a block of flats. Modern systems allow for communication between entrance stations and landline or mobile phones. This can be particularly useful in situations where access may need to be granted remotely.
