The Importance of access control

The Access Control System

From the beginning, man knows that his safety and protection depend on the measures taken against criminals. Some measures that are regularly take to have protection and security deepens on the access barriers against intruders. In other times palisades, fortifications, drawbridges or similar devices were used.At present, we have a great electronic and computer development, which allows us to have sophisticated tools to prevent unauthorized or undesirable persons from entering the spaces that we need to protect, through the implementation of an access control System integrated into a Closed Circuit of Television (CCTV Camera).The characteristics of each area are what determine which are the main security solutions. Sometimes the traditional “lock” on the door will suffice. At other times, it will be essential to use more advanced means.

Functionality

A good access control system must be able to generate various types of reports, always with the aim of improving and increasingly sophisticated security management. SUPERACCESS generates personnel reports, with data on their level of authorization for entry, validity, expiration dates and routes. It is also possible to obtain historical consolidations with all these variables.The access control system must be able to be combined with other security systems to offer an optimal service, a combination could be a Closed-Circuit Television System, CCTV.

A modular system

The modular systems are particularly suitable for detailed monitoring exercise. They are make up of differentiate, but interrelate units, known as “modules”. Each module performs different functions, depending on the needs of the space where they are install.Hence the talk of “versatility” in access controls. The modular system is able to adapt to the security needs of each space. It is not only an electronic instrument that serves as a barrier, but an intelligent mechanism to manage security.SUPERACCESS has different and effective modules for security management. In one of its modules, it allows to consult the information of the visitor who arrives at the reception of the company or of the joint ownership. There you determine if you have a valid authorization or not. The system produces four types of response to users who intend to enter: authorized user, unauthorized user, unregistered user and blocked user.Other modules allow controlling the access of couriers and homes, which are a dynamic and unstable factor that also requires supervision. Likewise, there is a special module to carry out access control during holidays, blocking people, reports, traffic boards, among others.

Adapting to places

It is important that the access control system is sufficiently adaptable to the different conditions of each type of building.Office buildings, which generally have high human and vehicle traffic, largely benefit from access control. An access control system with a WEB Platform will allow you to confirm at all times who is in the facilities and to carry out entry authorizations in a simple and easy way.Access controls also have application in collective housing units, such as co-ownership areas or country condominiums. One of the attributes of such properties is essentially that they offer a higher level of security. This is achieve by ensuring that those who circulate through the share spaces are authorized to do so.The same happens in free zones, shopping centers, industrial parks, warehouses, medical centers, among others. Knowing that these types of spaces tend to have restricted areas inside and, therefore, demand a more detailed control. Access controls not simply monitor general access, but also offer control over specific zones or dependencies.A special case is that of medical centers and hospitals, which require meticulous control of access and movement. The vulnerability of patients makes the control of entries and exits a critical factor, which must be addressed with the greatest security.Access controls such as SUPERACCESS can installing, without any problem, in practically all types of places. In places such as office buildings, free zones, industrial parks, medical centers, country condominiums, among others.

Access bets on the renewal of
access control for the business sector

The Canadian company expert in the electronic access control market for the security industry, RBH Access, this year presents its latest solutions for the international market, which seek to expand the capabilities and performance of the products, in addition to generating savings of installation costs in current and future projects of the business sector.“For this year we come with more robust solutions that allow us to expanse, integrate and provide better management of access control and alarm systems, the new developments are focus on the business sector, covering the market from SMEs to large companies, with solid, stable and efficient products”,

A practical and functional access controller

One of the new products present this year has the UNC100 controller, which has already have a great reception in the market, thanks to the improvement provide by new technologies, today the UNC100 is a completely IP-base controller, which allows it to be very fast and at the same time make the complete system very expandable, it’s compatible with the latest Integra32 security management software and with Axiom, in addition to previous software versions and also with other old controllers.A great advantage of the UNC100 is that it has direct PoE backup, making it a product that guarantees service thanks to the fact that the battery is directly connect to the controller and while it is working, the battery is charge through PoE, this being a point very important because it provides security to the owner, that the system is always working.RBH Access is launching for the UNC100 and I / O card that consumes very little power, and is power from the RS485 bus. Up to 3 input / output cards can connecting to a single UNC100, and each card can configure with 4 inputs and 4 outputs or 8 inputs and 2 outputs. The additional inputs can be very useful for monitoring temperature sensors for example, among other functions. “The combination of the UNC100 with the I / O card, I think it gives a lot of flexibility especially to small installations so that they can grow step by step in the future. Without the expansion card you can control two doors, but if you want to work on any other point, you only have to add a card that has a very low cost and you already have a solution with a greater capacity”, Bouwer comments.

The alarm system
and access control
are unified in a single product

Another of the RBH Access launches is the Safe suite, a product that was originally design for the vertical of condominiums or residential units, today marks the beginning of a new area in the design and deployment of security, due to the add functionality of an intrusion alarm panel, which translates into a solution that controls access and intrusion at the enterprise level, both functions integrated in a controller with an integrate MI fare reader and power with PoE, with expansion up to 256 entry zones and 8 partitions, currently it is position as a practically unique alarm system in the market.
