IP Intercom & Access Control A Futureproof Solution
A modern access control system today combines several recent technologies and trends such as IoT, and Bluetooth, and raises the standard of how people access their homes and offices to an unprecedented level. Much like wallets and the credit cards within them, keys are becoming obsolete with mobile phones fast becoming the core of access control.
A lot of business owners these days want something that is truly reliable when it comes to securing their properties. IP Intercoms & Access Control Systems offer multiple modes of operation Keypad , Biometric fingerprint, Bluetooth, NFC, OCR, etc. making them the ideal choice for modern buildings. IP Intercoms and Access Control Systems are the front line in any commercial security setup, these devices offer some of the worlds most advanced and reliable systems to protect staff and secure access to property.
IP Technology – IP technology is the cornerstone – you cannot have a future-standard door access control system without IP technology. But – as with any technological leap – it can seem intimidating at first to navigate the vast range of technology out there and understand why it’s beneficial. Sometimes, installers forget that IP is accessible to even tricky retrofit projects… Analogue devices are fast becoming obsolete and for good reason. But which devices should you choose, and why do you need it ?
Mobile Access Control – Speaking of obsolete, do you remember the last time you took your credit card out? No, us neither. In the future, keys will head the same way! But it’s not just about the distant future. Phones are an indispensable part of our daily lives today, so find out why residents are demanding mobile access control and how to implement it!
Multi-user Technology – Something any technological leap prioritizes: convenience. No residential development can only offer mobile access – since not everyone entering the building lives there. So, what’s the Access Control solution to this dilemma? Ensure that intercoms and access devices have multi-user technology with a variety of access options. But which devices and technologies should you use, and in which other ways can access control offer residents convenience?
Remote Management – Another way the standards of Access Control improve your life: by allowing for remote site management and configuration. We all know that remote working is not only the new standard for companies but has made work more cost-effective and efficient. Find out what to look out for when choosing a provider.
Cybersecurity – If technological advancement is not done properly, it may increase security risks. But how does choosing the right access control provider ensure that your door access control system outmatches the risk? And what do they do to achieve that goal ?
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)- Access control companies are not immune to consumer expectations of environmental responsibility: climate change and waste reduction are two crucial parts of the current conversation. Access Control standards demand attention be paid to ESG – despite the access industry’s tendency to leave it as an afterthought. So, what can access control companies do to be more environmentally conscious and what should you look out for?
Privacy and Protection of Personal Data – Finally – access Control 3.0 demands that we pay attention to the security of users – including their personal data. After all, we’re dealing with people’s most private areas: their homes! Discover how being selective in your choice of access control provider can give your residents peace of mind at home and allow you to complete your journey into the future of Access Control
We recommend mobile access. Why? We believe this is the future of access control. The entire world is shifting away from RFID door entry systems, keys, and door fobs and transitioning to mobile. You already use your phone to pay in shops, manage money, and order groceries – the credit card in your wallet is becoming obsolete – and soon, keys will be too!
However, we understand that not every project can have solely mobile access implemented. That’s why we also have units that can read RFID chips, biometric access control (fingerprints), as well as units for entering a PIN code, to allow you to create a complete and varied door access control system.
Everyone has different demands – perhaps you have users in your project who want to use multiple technologies, who really want thumbprint door access, or who need extra secure two-factor authentication. That’s OK, too – we also offer units that combine multiple technologies in a single device.
It depends on what you need at the door. Need audio/video communication? Then opt for an intercom to create a door entry video system. Our customers install intercoms at the entrances to smart buildings, on individual floors, at the door to flats, and to larger units in office buildings. Access control technology is included in some of our intercoms, so you don’t need a separate intercom and reader at any one door.
Need to secure a door against unauthorized access? Then all you need here is an access reader. Our access readers are unique in that they have the door access controller as part of the reader!
You would typically install a unit like this at the entrance to meeting rooms, server rooms, or communal areas in apartment buildings. In a typical scenario, you have both types of doors, so you’ll need both intercoms and access readers. The advantage of our system is that you can administer everything in a single interface.
