card readers for access control systems
id-visual offer a vast range of card readers that utilise the very latest technology, a brief overview of which is given below.
close proximity card reader
TThe most trusted access control card reader used throughout the world; it works by picking up a signal from a valid identification card that is programmed into the system. By holding a valid access control card or keyfob in close proximity to the reader – approximately 6 inches away – a signal is triggered that allows the user access into the secure area. The readers can be installed either internally or externally are vandal resistant or come in different finishes such as.
- Standard black white and grey
- Stone and wood effect for architectural applications
- Vandal resistant and stainless steel for external or high security applications
Also with company logos and graphical displays for card access granted and denied
hands free card readers
Designed to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act they use an active identification card with built in aerial that operates within a one metre range of the active card. This allows individuals to approach the secure door and gain access without having to search for their secure access control card; hugely beneficial to sectors such as hospitals, care homes, distribution plants and government buildings. This technology was developed by Bewator (now a part of Siemens), id visual are competent trained installers of this technology.
card readers with pin pad
By having to present a card and then enter a unique PIN number these readers add extra security and are commonly used in businesses that require the extra security. The readers operate the same as the close proximity card reader and again come in different finishes, vandal resistant and stainless steel for external or high security applications are available.
biometric readers or hand recognition
Biometric devices have rapidly evolved and consist of a reader or scanning device, software that converts the gathered information into digital form and a database that stores the biometric data for comparison with previous records. This is a system designed for high security applications, and works by identifying specific points of data as match points within the biometric input, which in turn are algorithmically processed into a value that can be compared with database records.
Examples of biometrics include fingerprints, facial recognition, hand geometry, iris scan, retinal scan, vascular patterns and DNA. id-visual have installed this technology for high security data vault rooms where total security is required for more details call id visual.
