With products such as card readers, keypads, biometrics, and mobile access, we support secure, scalable systems across all sectors. Customers benefit from expert advice, technical support, and integration with other security systems.
Readers for access control systems are devices that verify credentials, such as key cards, fobs, or mobile passes, to grant or deny access. They connect to a control panel or system and are commonly used in offices, buildings, and secure areas. Many support technologies, such as RFID, NFC, or Bluetooth, for fast, contactless entry.
Keypads in access control systems authenticate users by requiring them to enter a PIN or code to gain access to a secure area. They are a cost-effective and straightforward solution for controlling entry. They often include features like backlighting, weatherproofing, and multi-factor authentication.
Biometrics in access control refers to the use of unique physical traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or voice recognition, to verify an individual’s identity. These systems offer high security by ensuring only authorised users can access restricted areas, eliminating the need for physical keys or cards.
Access control credentials are tools or information used to verify an individual’s identity and grant access to restricted areas. Common types include key cards, fobs, PINs, and mobile devices. These credentials are linked to an access control system that checks whether the user is authorised to enter a specific location.
Controllers in access control systems are the central units that manage and process access requests. They connect to readers, keypads, and locks, making decisions based on credentials and system rules. Controllers ensure secure entry, log activity, and often integrate with broader security systems.
Barriers and turnstiles in access control systems physically regulate entry by allowing only one person through at a time after valid authentication. Common in high-traffic or secure areas, they enhance security, prevent tailgating, and integrate with readers or biometric systems for controlled access.
Access control system locks are electronic or electromechanical devices that secure doors and release upon receiving valid credentials. They work with controllers, keypads, or readers to ensure authorised access only and come in various types, such as electric strikes, magnetic locks, and smart locks.
RTE (Request to Exit) Reset Break Glass Units and Call Points are emergency safety devices. Break-glass units allow users to manually trigger an exit or alarm by breaking the glass, while call points enable emergency door release or alert activation, ensuring quick, safe evacuations in emergencies.
