Access Control is fast becoming an essential requirement for any business, the knowledge of the added security it provides is priceless. Not only that, it becomes a way of controlling personnel within an organisation – ensuring only the correct people go into the correct areas. We offer different solutions in order to effectively meet your specific Access Control requirements all designed to integrate with your Focus Time & Attendance system.
Our access control solutions can help provide your business with the added security it needs to control people entering and leaving your premises and keep track of personnel whereabouts. The options include the integrated access control proximity terminal which allows you to control access via your Focus time attendance software. Our Biometric access control systems include a wide range of fingerprint reader and face recognition options. Again, both seamlessly integrate with your existing Focus system for an easy solution for your access control requirements.
Almost all of our biometric terminals can be used for access control. Some devices are dedicated to access control such as the BioEntryW2 and BioEntryP2. When using proximity cards or fobs for access control, we use the HRX5000 or HRX Access Controller as the main control device, coupled with remote readers.
Doors (both internal and external), gates, turnstiles and vehicle barriers are the most common applications for access control.
Installing an access control solution is a skilled job and that is why we only use professional locksmiths. Our locksmiths can attend your site to perform a detailed site survey to recommend the appropriate electric locks and door furniture for your doors – each door is unique and could require a different solution depending on head height, door composition, existing locks, fire requirements etc.
We can supply and install all equipment required as part of the job including the electric locks, power supply units, press-to-exit buttons, break-glasses, key switches, intercoms as well as the actual devices that will validate access – such as card/fob readers, biometric readers and access controllers.
Access control can be provided in a simple to use set up, where if a person is registered to the device controlling the door or turnstile they will be granted access.
Where required, more advanced control can be provided, such as using access groups to control who has access to each door and when they are permitted access. Open time profiles can be created to allow a door to remain unlocked during certain hours on specific days and then access controlled during other times.
Access readers can be configured to also act as in/out devices for time & attendance and/or fire alarm status.
