Recently, here at TechPro Security Products, we have introduced a new line of Access Control products. We have teamed up with IDTECK, one of the biggest names in the security industry. IDTECK is a big security company based out of Seoul Korea, specializing in their top of the line access control systems. Established in 1989 IDTECK has come a long way from introducing their first explosion proof RF reader in 1995, to starting their research in biometrics in 2005, into becoming the leader in the access control industry today. They have made some great accomplishments and now you can order their products here in the states on securitycameraking.com.
There are people who think their camera system is enough, although sometimes that may not be the case. Security Cameras may only prevent 75% of break-ins, while access control will prevent over 90%. Also, keep in mind that access control is much more than just swiping a card on a reader and gaining access to a door. It can mean gate access. Say you live in a gated association and when you press a button to make the gate go up and drive in. Or in some cases you may not even have to press a button, it may be automatic when you come within 50’ of the reader. Offered online are several long range readers so whenever you get close enough to said reader access is granted. This comes in handy for various reasons like long range access control, hands free identification, personal tracking, and parking control.
When it comes to general access control such as scan a card and gain access, or even using some kind of biometric readers to gain access to a door, we have you covered. 4 doors, 8 doors, or 32 doors its all here. Using the iFDC, which is a 4 door access control panel, you can control up to 4 doors using the iFDC boards and 4 standard card readers or proximity readers. 100,000 users are supported, and also the unit can be powered through PoE (Power over Ethernet). There are 8 relay outputs to handle things like your maglocks, strobes, or sirens. Also 8 inputs to handle your door sensors or exit buttons. This system is the most ideal system offered for a 4 door access control system. When it comes to 8 door access control we have the best system offered today, our iEDC 8 door access control package is the most reliable package on the market. There are a total of 16 relay inputs and outputs for your maglocks, door sensors, strobes, sirens, and exit buttons. Basically the same thing as the iFDC 4 door package but doubled. Still PoE capable, and also both the iFDC and iEDC have embedded web servers. Also the iEDC offers what is called a Duress mode, this is a function that can save someones life and possibly save you a lot of money in stolen or damaged property. An example of how it works is, a woman may be more vulnerable to a masked man trying to gain access to a building said woman has access to, well if she swipes her card and enters a PIN into the keypad she has just alerted either the security department in the building or the proper authorities outside of the building. This is an excellent feature to help ease the mind of an employee that may or may not be in harms way.
Also, Time and Attendance is a big deal of access control. This allows business owners to monitor the coming and going of employees. We offer a time and attendance management software that will allow you to manage simple payroll such as time in and time out, or advanced which allows you to monitor your employees time off for break and so on. This software works with most of our packages so this way small business or big business you are covered. If you have an employee that takes too many smoke breaks and is hard to prove he is smoking more than working this is a more than effective way to solve the issue. If you have an employee showing up late or too early and don’t want them to go over there hours this is a efficient way of managing your payroll issues.
All of these things could not work if was not for the most vital part of the system. Your readers and your cards. Forget your card and you are stuck in some cases, or something happens to your reader and all the software in the world can’t help you. This is why we have such a variety of readers and cards.
Starting with the readers, we offer a wide range of proximity readers that are weather proof. They can handle anywhere from 4 inches to 12 inches of read distance depending on the model. For example our ACR-RF10 can read a proximity card or smart card up to four inches away. Then on the other hand the ACR-RF30 can read the cards up to 12 inches away. We also offer a vandal proof series of readers. These are proximity card and smart card readers that are for lack of better term destruction proof. Although we DO NOT know what would happen if it was shot with a gun, we do know however that it is safe from people smashing it with a hammer or painting over the numbers if it is a keypad. These are a lot heavier to hold in your hand than normal readers so it is easy to see that they are indeed vandal proof.
Now, we have a few different cards all do relatively the same things. The most popular would be the clam shell cards. We offer a printable and a non-printable version of this card. We also carry a keyfob that may be easier to carry around and be more accessible. The sticker card is something that would be ideal for someone who doesn’t want some extra thing they have to carry it around. You can stick it to the back of your phone or something along those lines. And then there is the long range card that is compatible with our long range readers mentioned earlier.
There are several things that go into making an access control system work the way you need it too. Here at SecurityCameraKing.com we have everything you need to make it happen. Just remember while your security camera system may be a deterrent to intruders, there may be just one person that decides he/she can still get away with it. While this may be true, if you had an access control system you wouldn’t have to worry about that because he/she would not be granted access. There are several reasons why one of these systems should be in place, what ever yours may be give us a call at 866.573.8878 or check us out online at www.securitycameraking.com.
