Magnum 0 Comments

The mechanical locks have evolved in the last ten years vertiginously, turning the previous three years into “technological revolution” in the field of management and access control. Mechanical safety converges with electronics giving intelligence to automatic locks. It changes the paradigm in the world of access control and the way to face any security project in buildings.

Magnum Telesystem reflects on the technological trends that help to understand this change in access control systems:

  1. Communications

The evolution of communication networks, IP technology, bandwidth, 3G, 4G, now allow managing any access control system easily and from anywhere, and also allows us to have access control systems 100% Wireless online.

  1. Mobility

In parallel to the above, the proliferation of mobile devices such as Smartphone and Tablet, as well as the ease of use through Apps has led to immediacy in the reception of access information and in the management thereof, allowing for the opening and / or locking the doors in mobility and safely.

  1. Wireless Technology

As happened with the intrusion systems at the end of the 20th century, when intrusion systems based on Wireless 433 MHz and 868 MHz communications began to increase, this bidirectional, encrypted and secure wireless technology now allows the creation of an access ecosystem, connecting with smart locks without the need to deploy a single cable. In Spain, wireless access control installations grow by 1% over wiring. Short-range RFID and NFC data transmission technologies are now a reality and are used routinely in many access systems based on autonomous smart locks.

  1. Savings

Door Access Control Systems based on smart locks can be up to 60% cheaper than traditional wiring systems. Providing at least the same functionalities for the end user and with a higher level of security, since it does not need to weaken the whole door by installing electric strikes. Security is maintained in the door / frame assembly.

  1. Energy efficiency

Autonomous power through batteries also generates savings of up to 40% in electricity consumption, compared to the old wired systems that still need 12V and 750W power.

The speed at which systems based on intelligent locks are evolving is being much higher, comparatively speaking, than the evolution of traditional wired access control systems.

A new category of products and mechanical/electronic solutions has been born for the safety in buildings of easy installation and maintenance that is available to many more people. Innovation is growing fast in this sector, and soon we will be surrounded by smart locks in all buildings and homes.

The Fingerprint Access Control Systems are now a fundamental element of a security system in general, and who’s first permit or cancel the move to a protected space with specific risks function. Today we are witnessing a constant growth and advancement of this type of systems, and in a more spectacular way of those, we know as biometric reading. This type and others are more and more in demand by the users who are considering selecting an adequate access control system that meets their needs.

The Regular Use of Access Control System

The common characteristic of a home, a company and the venues of events, is that they all have an access door. The primary mission of entry is to control who can enter and who cannot; for example, the door of a dwelling allows to enter the members of a family, in a company it will enable to control the entrance to the employees, visits, and messengers. This process is called access control.

The three essential components of an Access Control system are: Door, Lock, and Key

If we want to have higher security, we can install a door sensor on the top of it and thus know the status of the door, in this way any abnormal situation will trigger the alarm and warn the security company or the police.

In any case, what happens if the keys are lost, or are many keys to find them in a short time?

In the first case, we can find a locksmith who opens the door in five minutes, but this will also indicate the unreliability of the mechanical locks; in the second case, carrying many keys on top is a lot of weight and a lot of time selecting what the key we are looking for is.

To avoid the above issues, Door Access Control Systems are the perfect solution.

Also, the administrative management of access control is highly laborious.

In a traditional mechanical locking system, if a new member is added a new key is needed, while in the office time clocks are used on paper to control the attendance and the work times of the employees, which makes the Counting is laborious and conducive to errors and omissions.

Conversely, the introduction of a modern network access control system can simplify and improve the process by merely connecting to the Internet, entering a system’s web server, and adding or eliminating staff authorization levels, as many as you wish. , and know their entry and exit conditions. What’s more, the attendance and timings report can be easily generated and edited with less labor and more precision.

Taking into account, the current trend in the growth of companies have delegations in different parts of the city or the country. This is the reason why a data synchronization service is needed. The creation of networks of access control systems provides an excellent solution to manage and control subsidiaries from the central office, adjusting the days off in each or the working hours in a more efficient and comfortable way so that it surpasses more than traditional systems of mechanical access control.

In a traditional Access Control System, the lock only admits a single key; however, in the electronic access control system, a lock can be opened with multiple keys (that is, the user data kept in the memory chip of the controller). You may wonder about the need for multiple cores. In fact, different keys can represent different users. Therefore, each user’s entry/exit event record will be done in response to security concerns.

The Fundamental Role of Access Control Systems in Businesses

The access controls are one of the fundamental points in any business that wants to implement its security. The doubts arise before the possibilities that exist when installing/selecting an access control system, there are several options, and sometimes we do not even know, as a company, what options we have at our disposal according to our type of premises or office.

It is important to know all the variety of options available to us to choose or recommend the most appropriate solution according to our type of business, the characteristics of the products we sell and the kind of location or office where we carry out our activity.

The Fingerprint Access Control System are one of the classic solutions within the access control, allow you to have control over one or more doors and technological advances have made significant developments in door controls, allowing voice control and video of the entries we want to control.

Another of the most interesting technological developments is based on access control with integrated biometric management, which allows us to establish access readers with different modes, card, fingerprint or fingerprint with a card and other types of more advanced biometric readers.

We can also implement a comprehensive access control system, which can be used for pedestrian entrances and vehicles in our corporate building, this type of systems are usually used to make a good impression to visitors and leave our brand image well present. This is the first contact of the visitor with our offices or corporate building, without a doubt an excellent opportunity to generate a good impression and give an image of security and confidence.

This type of integrated systems allow a modular configuration which will allow us to integrate different functional modules according to the needs we have, we could include video, communication, lighting, etc.

The systems access control such as a  biometric reader Facial and Fingerprint are technology most in demand in today ‘s market, we have migrated from mechanical systems, and specialized personnel has processes controlling input and output fully automated with different types of technologies and devices. It is essential to carry out a sufficient study, segmenting the zones, the access groups, the allotted times, the level of access for each user, measuring the number of people or cars traveling through each zone and discovering the goals of each access control.

Among the benefits of having a Door Access Control System are, of course, the control of entry and exit. These equipment offer greater security and control of the public, the personnel or the residents of a building, in the companies, it brings savings in personnel costs, a fast return on investment.

The Method Is Simple

Though it seems complicated, but it is one of the easiest ways of allowing the access of a person in a certain area. In this system, the claimed identity of a certain person can be matched or rejected by matching the existing template with the live one. There are some data present in the machine already. Each time you press your finger on a certain spot in the machine, it starts matching the current fingerprint with the existing data and either give you the permission or reject your access on the basis of the result.
