Access Control System (ACS)
The basic prerequisite for effective access control is identification and authorization of persons. ACS ensures controlled access of persons into the restricted areas – for each person separately – based on the assigned access rights.
Identification is performed by assigning a means of identification to the person, or vehicle in the control software. Persons can be authorized using more than one identification element, such as a chip card, or biometrics.
ACS modularity provides the option of gradual building of a complex identification system.
Readers are arranged in a network of readers having one control center, which processes and evaluates input data in a continual on-line mode depending on the security level. Following the identification of a person, the reader during the authorization process decides whether the request for access is justified based on pre-defined rules. Authorization-related information is obtained by readers on-line from the control software or directly from the reader’s memory.
Control software can not only define persons allowed to pass across a certain point within ACS, but can also restrict the authorization to
a certain number of passages or to specific times. Control software can be extended to include add-on modules that use the same identification element:
- status monitoring for the reader and other connected peripherals
- presence of persons in the premises
- catering system
- attendance monitoring system
- visitor monitoring system
- vehicle recording system
- vehicle parking system
All passes authorized by the reader are recorded in the control software database in case the movement of persons or vehicles needs to be documented at a later time. Archived records, full or filtered as the case may be (filtering option is provided), can be exported in a file, or printed in the form of pre-defined output printouts.
In order to enhance the building security standard, it is advisable to use the access control system in combination with other building protection systems (central monitoring system, intrusion alarm system, CCTV monitoring, and electronic fire alarm system).
