ACCESS OVERVIEW

With something as simple as a lock or as complex as a multi-site PC based control system an Access Control System is sometimes a forgotten area of security. However, a well designed Access Control System will be your first line of defence in controlling the authorised movement of of personnel/traffic in or around a site or building whilst preventing the access of unauthorised visitors traffic.

 

SYSTEM TYPES

Access Control systems can take many forms; keypad/swipe systems, proximity cards, audio and video intercom, PC based systems and biometric technologies. The type of system required by the client will be dependant on the level of control that he/she wishes to achieve within their environment. All ViS ACCESS clients can be assured that with our NACOSS GOLD Certification, that our systems will be installed to fully comply with all the latest European and UK legislation.

 

BIOMETRICS

The latest and fasted growing technology in the field of Access Control is that of Biometrics. Biometric authentication refers to technologies that measure and analyze human physical and behavioral characteristics for authentication purposes. Examples of physical characteristics include fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, facial patterns and hand measurements. Panasonic are one of the worlds leading manufacturers of Biometric technology and as Ireland’s only Panasonic Premier Integrators (PPi), ViS ACCESS has been trained to install, commission and integrate these units.
