WHAT IS ACCESS CONTROL?

Access control systems are electronic security systems that are designed and installed to provide protection agains any unwanted visitors into a property but allow free movement and entry for authorised users. In simple terms, access control systems provide control of entry (or exit) through nominated doors via a control panel or some form of electric locking facility. They can be as simple or as advanced as you desire, but in each case there solution will always provide an easy passage for permitted persons around the building.

Types of Access Control & Door Entry Technology 

So how does an authorised user open the door that has access control? 

There are essentially four main types of system used:-

PIN CODE ENTRY:

One of the most common types of access control is the keypad system or pin code entry.  This can be a mechanical push button lock or an electronic keypad with a series of numbered push buttons, connected to the lock release mechanism. The user simply keys in the code.

CARD-SWIPE READERS

The user has an encoded card, a bit like a credit card.  The entry point will have an associated card reader through which the user simply “swipes” the care through to gain entry.

PROXIMITY READERS

As before the user of the system carries a card or tag but instead of having to swipe the card, the user simply presents the card or tag up to a reader, which typically will see the card at about 100mm distance, making this a non-contact and faster method of entry.

BIOMETRIC READERS

The above methods do require a card or tag to be carried by the user; the obvious disadvantage is they can get stolen or lost by the user. There are systems available that will allow you to use the human characteristics of an individuals to clearly identify permitted access.

Biometric readers can store different geometric patterns such as finger prints or a retina scan both of which are unique to that one individual who you giving access permission to.

  • How many and where are the entry/exit points.
  • The desired level of security.
  • A method of operation.
  • Access for the disabled.
  • Interface with other systems e.g. Fire alarms, CCTV system or Intruder alarm.
