An access control system offers personal protection for residential and commercial property, whether it is for offices, banks, airports, shops, your private property or simply for the purpose of providing security for your staff or clients. The objectives of an access control system are often described in terms of protecting system resources against inappropriate or undesired user access.
Jantar provides some of the most cost-effective, sophisticated access control systems and readers for all types of customers. Our access control systems provide security for your property, your employees and, most importantly, they ensure that your business information is protected effectively.
The main aim of the research & development team is to focus on designing systems that are both user friendly and cost effective while incorporating all the functions and features that are needed to run the most efficient organization.
Operating with an access control system is simple: the user must prove that he has the right to access a particular location. The user presents his credentials (in the form of a contactless card, numerical code or fingerprint or any other biometric feature) to the device that reads it and sends information to the access controller.
The access controller compares the read credentials (e.g. number of contactless card) with the list of all registered credentials and rights received by the program managing the system. On this basis controller approves or rejects the user's request (e.g. unlocks the electric strike and enables the user to move through the door) while simultaneously recording each event in the log. The reader also gives the user feedback on whether the request has been approved or rejected (e.g. sound signal or change of color on signal lights on the reader).
What do we need to implement an access control system?
Doors leading into the premises or buildings to which we want to limit entry or exit must be equipped with an electric strike. The electric strike has to be connected to the control electronics which allow the user to enter or exit the premises.
The electric strike can be locked or unlocked by an identification means (a proximity card, a bracelet or a key fob, a remote button, a fingerprint etc.) or by entering the numeric code with a keypad.
In addition to an electric strike, standalone access controllers will suffice for basic access control. Inside of the access controller's casing there is a built-in reader of identification means as well as a controller of an electric strike. There are also special variants equipped with a keypad for entering the numeric code (a cipher).
