TOUCHLESS ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

This allows a no-touch hand-free solution by just waving your hand near the card reader to gain access to your facility. These readers can sense the hand gesture up to a few inches away from the facility door. The action triggers authorization with the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth low energy (BLE). The smartphone does not necessarily have to stay in your hand; it can be in your purse or pocket. This solution allows less traffic around lobbies or entryways and more flexibility to the user.

What if the employees want to use their smartphones to gain access to the workplace? Well, contactless access systems allow that as well. Your employees can unlock the door with their smartphone. The touchless access control system can read the encoded number for their mobile screen, or the employees can use a secure proprietary app to connect with the access system and request access to the building.

The visitors will no longer have to click on the keypad, wait for the staff to let them in, and get access to the building. They will only have to wave at the access control system, and they will be allowed in by the security staff. This also allows for touchless visitor access, and you will be able to secure your building against any unknown germs or diseases by eliminating the need for contact.

Rather than physically touching the card readers to gain access, your employees can quickly gain access to the building with touchless smart cards or by waving hands. They can wave the hand in front of the card reader, and the card reader will verify their identity with the on-site or cloud-based database. Once their identity is confirmed, the card reader will allow them to enter the building without requiring any contact with the reader, door handles, or door controller.

Employees can also gain access to the building with their mobiles. The employees only have to open up the app on their smartphone when in proximity to the reader and tap a button to trigger the unlock. Modern-era smart readers use BLE, Wi-Fi, and cellular data to send and receive requests from the smartphone and verify the employees’ identity.

Therefore, the mobile app will work and get you access even if there is no internet available. This mobile app access adds a security layer by leveraging biometric and multi-factor authentication built-in to the application.

The readers use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) requests to verify the employees’ identity even if the mobile is locked or in their purse. This keeps the line moving, and your employees can gain contactless access to the building. For this, you will also need an application that can receive requests from the access system for verification.

A commercial security system can be easily upgraded to contactless access control solutions.

There are different types of actuators like card readers, mobile credentials, key fob, micro tag, intelligent keys, and more that provide hands-free access in your facility. Unlock by waving hand and motion sensor technologies unable to open switches that trigger to open the door when a movement is detected near your facility door.

The door can open with various actuator methods, including access control readers for restricted areas that need to be secured. Key Fob or access control cards works with readers to provide touchless entrances in your facility.

Contactless biometric technology attempts to gather and add biometric traits like fingerprints.

Instead of the traditional key swipe method, employees and personnel can now easily use facial recognition to get access. This is a far more secure method than the conventional key swipe or card reader technology. Anyone can get access to your employee’s card and key, but it will be impossible for them to replicate the same facial features and get access to the building.

Face recognition access limits unauthorized access to your building and only allows access to the appropriate personnel. This way, you will be able to eliminate the need for physical contact or swipe, and you will also be able to offer a higher level of security for your commercial place.

Touchless access control systems can help you keep your employees and business safe. When you remove the contact factor and offer touchless access, you ensure that your employees do not directly or indirectly contact one another. This will keep the germs or viruses from spreading, keeping your business, and employees away from harm.

You must be wondering if there are any significant benefits to using a touchless access control system rather than continuing with the traditional basic access systems. Well, there are more than one reasons to use a touchless access system for your commercial or communal building. Let’s take an in-depth look at the features that make these systems stand taller than the rest.

Current access control systems use physical contact methods to offer access to the building. This means that you will have to swipe your card or input your verification code into the electronic lock to get access. This may have been useful in the past but is no longer the best security and safety option. Let’s explore the different configuration methods of current access control systems.

Now that you understand what touchless access control systems are and what they offer, it is time to understand how to upgrade the existing system to a contactless one. As mentioned earlier, the costs associated with upgrading to touchless are lower than installing a new access control system. You should understand what components need to be upgraded to achieve touchless access.

You can integrate your touchless access control systems with video surveillance systems without any issues. Since these systems already use facial recognition technology, these can easily be combined with the video surveillance systems for a higher security level around the workplace.

The access system will keep on sending the facial data to the video surveillance system. The system can keep an eye on the employees and ensure that only authorized personnel are inside the building.

These touchless access control systems can also be paired up with mass emergency notification systems to help warn everyone in case of emergencies. Since the access systems will know the employees and personnel currently inside the building, it can send them emergency notifications and keep them safe from fires or other emergencies.

Moreover, these mass emergency notification systems can also be customized to send alerts to employees and people in the vicinity. This speeds up the entire process, removes unnecessary alerts, and conserves the data usage by optimizing the process.

Besides keeping track of employees, you can integrate these systems with visitor management systems, and you can keep track of your guests and visitors. These systems will help you ensure that the visitors are not wandering around in restricted places and are inside the building for legitimate business.

You can also help guide the visitors in the right direction if they get lost inside the building. The visitor management system will help you ensure that all the visitors have left the building and do not spend any unnecessary time walking around the different offices. This management system will also help you identify corporate spies, thieves, and intruders who are merely casing the place for nefarious purposes.

Once the employees have swiped the card and gained access to the building, they still have to use the physical door handles to come inside the building. With touchless access control systems, the employees will no longer have to manually pull or push the doors. Once the access is granted and their identity is verified, the doors will automatically open up and grant access to the building.

Biometric access software is often fast, highly accurate, reliable, safe, secured, involves low maintenance cost and produces enhanced high-quality images. These use high image sensor technology, typically ranging from Ultra HD resolution to 4K Video resolution, to accurately capture the pattern.

Facial recognition removes the need for clicks or logins. It is an advanced technology that captures your face from all angles and stores the image for authentication when the user needs access. Facial Recognition solution is extremely time-saving, accurate, optimizes resources, offline capability, increased productivity, well-integrated capabilities, and hygienic.

These processes can also simplify various workplace procedures for Time and attendance.
