Access Control Installation

An access control system is a security measure that manages and regulates entry to various areas within an organisation. Combining advanced hardware and software, these systems authenticate and authorise individuals using credentials like identification cards, biometric data, or passwords.

Types of access control systems

Implementing an access control system can significantly enhance your organisation’s security by granting selective access to authorised personnel while restricting unauthorised entry. Access control systems come in various forms, each with unique advantages and applications. Here’s an overview of the most common types:

  • Access control cards

    Access control cards are a cost-effective and straightforward method for granting access to staff, contractors, and other personnel. They can be used for single point-of-access systems, multi-door systems, or multi-site networks. Key features include:

    Easy activation/deactivation: Manage access with the touch of a button.
    customisable: Cards can be branded, printed with photo IDs, and equipped with credit card chips for transactions at vending machines.

  • Biometric access control

    Biometric access control uses fingerprint or retinal readers to manage entry to your premises. While retina scanning is ideal for high-security facilities, fingerprint systems are more commonly used. They can be applied to single point-of-access systems, multiple doors, and multiple sites. Benefits include:

    High security: Unique biometric data enhances security.
    Convenience: Similar functionality to access control cards after initial setup.

  • Fobs

    Proximity fobs allow users to open locked doors without presenting them to a reader physically. They provide authorised personnel with access and enable them to exit, all while maintaining an audit trail. Key advantages include:

    Ease of use: Simply carrying the fob grants access.
    Tracking: Records and tracks user movements for security purposes.
