Access Control

Access control systems allow you to decide who goes through which doors in a building and at what times. The access range starts with a simple system for up to two doors and moves through to sophisticated Multi-site systems. Whether the need is for a basic wall-mounted proximity card reader, a sophisticated Biometric or combination PIN, card swipe and fingerprint reader, ASM has the most comprehensive range of access control and biometric products along with the largest number of identification systems within a coherent setup.

Readers can be fitted into new or existing door entry systems or surface mounted using vandal resistant stainless steel readers. All readers can be used internally or externally. By linking the access control system to PC additional facilities such as flexible searching and reporting, full on-line help, alarm monitoring graphics, and time and attendance can be provided.

1- Keypads

The Self-contained keyless entry system is ideal for airports, hospitals, warehouses, office buildings, parking lots, and many other commercial facilities. It is much more economical and mostly is maintenance free.
2- Card BASE Systems

Proximity:
Proximity Cards, or "Proxy" as they are often called, are standard size plastic ID cards which contain a coil antenna and a pre-programmed micro chip containing a unique code. When the proxy card is within a foot or so of the Proxy reader, the 125 KHz signal from the reader is picked up by the card antenna and used to power-up the micro chip which then replies with its own unique code. The reader and its associated processor compare the code with a list of authorized entrants, and if it's OK, the door is opened and a record of entry is logged. Proxy cards must always be "personalized" with a portrait ID to eliminate the misuse of "loaned" or stolen cards.

Swipe:
If you need controlled access without relying on the presence of guards or reception staff, you may need to add swipe card readers and electronic locks to your controlled entrances. A higher level of security can be achieved by using mag-stripe readers.

Combination:
For the very highest level of security it is possible to use a "biometric", or body measurement, such as a fingerprint or retinal scan to reliably identify authorized persons seeking access. The most practical way to implement a system like this is to store the encoded biometric (e.g. fingerprint) on a smartcard containing a micro chip which has a built-in memory and encryption processor. When the card is used, the reader checks to see if the code on the card is valid, then waits for a live fingerprint scan which matches the fingerprint stored on the card, before opening the door. The cards used in a biometric access control system can either be of the 'contact' type which requires the direct insertion of the card into a reader, or of the "Contactless" type which operate in a similar way to a prox card, but which usually use a higher frequency around 13.5 MHz Any of these smart cards can be directly printed and encoded in one operation for the highest level of security protection.

3- Biometrics

What is Biometrics?

Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns, voice waves, DNA, and signatures

How does it work?

All biometric devices work by matching an individual's features to the one recorded in the device's memory. That individual's record is commonly distinguished by the use of a PIN (personal identification number). This one-to-one comparison mode of operation is known as verification of identity of the "verify" operational mode. The user must identify him/her to the device by way of a personal number or card so that his or her identity may also be corroborated by the device
