ACCESS CONTROL: PROXIMITY CARD READERS
A wireless access control card reader is one of the major components of an access Control System. These access control devices in physical security systems, is important to read credentials or the encrypted data on an access control card reader and allow or deny access based on the card information with feedback from the control panel. In other words, an access control reader is a device used to electronic read the access card’s credential that allows access through control points using an access control card reader wiring diagram—typically a locked door, making them an ideal component in many access control systems.
ACCESS CONTROL CARD READER WIRING DIAGRAM:
Hid proximity readers usually mount on the exterior (non-secured) side of a door, gates, elevator, or any other place that allows for denied access. These readers are of various types with different levels of sophistication. These can support different access control cards. An access control card reader can be a stripe reader, a barcode reader, or a proximity card reader. Access control card readers are classified by functions they can perform and by id technology:
Types of wireless access control card readers available:
Hid proximity reader cards:
Proximity card readers are the most common card reader, usually mounted on a wall or door frame. Proximity readers continuously transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to the access control card reader. When the access card stop at a certain distance from the reader, the RF signal absorb by a small coil that powers up the card’s microchip, which contains a unique identification code. As the name implies, no direct contact between the access card and the access control reader is essential for the security system to operate. The card must only be in the proximity of the reader. The read range depends primarily on the reader, and the card/key fob probably used. A great variety of access control hid proximity readers designed for different environments for maximum design flexibility.
Biometric Reader:
Biometric readers are electronic devices that determine identity by detecting and matching physical characteristics. It recognizes a person based on a physiological or behavioral factor. The features measured are the face, fingerprints, hand geometry, retinal pattern, vein, and voice. Biometric readers offer very high security but are also the most expensive. However, this technology eliminates lost, stolen, or loaned access cards and forgotten PINs. Airports, hospitals, hotels, grocery stores, and even Disney theme parks increasingly use biometrics for added security. Modern advances in this emerging technology and significant cost reductions make biometric readers available and affordable to consumers, small business owners, giant corporations, and public sector agencies.
Barcode reader:
If you have ever scanned an item at the grocery store’s checkout, you know what a barcode is. Many building access control systems today rely on employee badging with scannable barcodes to grant access via a barcode reader. A barcode is a series of alternating dark and light stripes read by an optical scanner. Barcode readers use infrared (IR) technology to read and authorize various barcodes. A barcode reader allows you to read virtually all existing cards.
Barcode Reader provides the lowest-cost access cards of any access control technology. The advantage of barcode technology is that it is cheap and easy to generate credentials. It can easily be applied to access cards or other items. Barcode readers can be used for both access control systems and purchasing.
Magnetic Stripe Readers:
Magnetic stripe technology, usually called mag-stripe, is so named because of the stripe of magnetic oxide tape laminated on a card. Many organizations utilize mag stripe technology to make photo ID badges, ranging from door access control and parking to cafeteria meals and book checkouts. Magnetic stripe readers require that access cards be swiped through the reader, causing wear and a shorter life span. The cards are low in cost but easily duplicated and are affected by outside magnetic fields. The mag-stripe readers require occasional cleaning to remove any dirt buildup on the read heads. With compliance, functionality, and security changes, many companies have transitioned existing mag-stripe systems to proximity cards or new intelligent card access control systems.
KEYPAD ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS:
Keypad access control systems are security structures that require a PIN code for door or gate entry without needing an access card or credential. These access control applications is used for access control with low security and limited users with authorized access. Keypads can connect in different ways, mainly to a central access control system, standalone pin pads, keypads on door locks or deadbolts, or IP-connected PIN codes.
