ACCESS CONTROL

Whether the need is for a basic wall-mounted proximity card reader or a sophisticated combination PIN, card swipe and smartcard readers, ADS has the most comprehensive range of access control and smartcard products along with the largest number of identification systems within a coherent setup.

The product line allows companies to choose almost any common form of existing ID technology for access point recognition. Some of the options include swipe cards and/or keypads as well as more sophisticated readers such as proximity cards and state-of-the-art smartcards readers.

All user access information is gathered by a central PC-based workstation where the administrators may retrieve and analyse the information. This data provides a recording of staff movement within an organisation, whether it is a small company or a company that employs thousands.

Advanced Detection Systems Access Control facilitates the management of logons and passwords centrally for all Windows- based PCs within an organisation. Access Control ensures higher standards of security by offering identification technologies that include swipe cards, bar codes, proximity cards as well as smartcards.

Advanced Detection Systems offer a large range of ID readers that can work with PC Access Control solution which is capable of centrally controlling access to your Windows NTTM/2000TM/ XPTM/2003TM operating systems.

The new generation of smart card readers and cards allow individual memory sectors within the card (normally 16 to be individually programmed), the basic difference from the smart card reader to conventional proximity or swipe card is that individual memory sectors will be encrypted with data and the card can be set up to read and write information from that card.

This allows the card to be used for several functions, not only security, vending, photocopier usage and other similar uses. The card can also be specified to be either contact or contact-less which is often known as proximity. Advanced Detection Systems as a matter of course prefer the Mifare system, which is now quickly gaining accreditation from both the public and private sector.
