Access control systems are popular in a myriad of industries, including legal sectors, governmental departments, educational institutions, military bases, and embassies. These systems ensure that only authorised personnel can enter the premises at a given time, thus ensuring that unwanted personnel cannot enter. This bolsters security by ensuring that only approved individuals can enter the space. When it comes to access control, there are several types that companies can choose, depending on their unique needs and budget. Here, we examine a few popular varieties, including our internally developed SuperVision system at Fourier IT, which utilises biometric technology.
Mechatronic systems combine both electronic and physical security elements to enhance safety. These systems usually require an electronic and physical element. In such an instance, the electronic component will grant access after checking a biometrical feature (such as an iris scan or fingerprint) or card, and thereafter, the person can use a key or code to enter the premises. This is a high-security solution since it requires two types of authentication. Nonetheless, if pins or cards get into the wrong hands, safety infringements can still ensue.
Physical barriers can serve as a great way to boost security and are often found at the entrance of buildings. Popular choices include security interlocks, sensor barriers, tripod turnstiles, half or full-height turnstiles, and revolving doors. These elements often work alongside other security mechanisms, such as electronic systems and biometric controls.
Biometric access control uses biometrical data to grant employees access to a building. Instead of staff needing to carry cards or remember pin codes (both of which can easily get into the wrong hands and lead to security breaches), the devices utilise biometrical data to grant entry. Since biometrics data can clearly pinpoint individuals and monitor who enters and exits the premises, business owners can also monitor employee accountability and ensure they are working their designated hours. This feature also prevents instances of buddy clocking to further boost transparency at work.
