​Access Control System: Protection in Every Door

Access control systems are solutions that allow the tracking, restriction and guarantee of transit paths, automating internal circulation. These can be of two types: traditional systems, which have a control panel and provide security for a limited number of people, and IP and network-based systems, which use cloud technologies to allow access to the building and ensure control of various safety functions.

The main components of an access control system include :

• Proximity card readers: These are the most used access readers used at the moment .

• Magnetic card readers: The magnetic card is read by passing it through a slot in the device by the magnetic reading head .

• Biometric Readers: There are fingerprint, iris, palm, facial and voice scanning biometric readers 1 .

• Access keyboards: It is the simplest way to filter access .

• Cards/cards: They can be magnetic or proximity, printable or not .

• Evacuation and exit buttons: In the situation where only the entrance to the secured area is of interest, a return button will be installed at the exit to command the unlocking of the access path .

• Electromagnetic locks: Most systems allow connection to a PC running this access control software .

• Controllers: Controllers, readers and cards for access control systems are used for small applications, generally for applications where independent control of one or more doors is required .

• User access management software: Enables user management and administration .
