An
Overview of Card Access Control Readers
Card access readers
are the most popular reader for security access control
systems. These readers require a user to present
a card (even including photo id cards if you’d
like) to gain access and, if lost or the employee is
terminated, the card is simply deactivated from the
system. Common types of card access reader technologies
include
 |
Proximity |
|
Bar
Code |
|
Magnetic
Stripe |
|
Key
Fobs/Auto Tags (outdoor gate applications) |
Biometric systems
are also designed, installed and maintained by Knight
Security. Biometric readers systems offer Texas
businesses a higher level of security in that they rely
on a user’s characteristics to lock and unlock
doors and gates. Some of the more common biometric
readers used by Knight include:
|
Retinal
Scan |
|
Facial
Recognition |
|
Voice
Recognition |
|
Fingerprint |
Smart card readers
are multi use cards, carrying large amounts of information
such as spending limits as well as providing access
to protected doors and gates. Consult
with a Knight specialist if your Texas business
is currently using smart card technology.
Locks work in conjunction
with readers. The two basic options for locking
standard doors are electronic strikes and magnetic locks.
The construction of the door in many
instances determines the type of lock to use.
Magnetic locks work best on glass storefront doors and
aluminum doors while electric strikes are generally
best for wooden or steel doors.
