What is mobile access control and how does it work

Image
RFID cards are beginning to be replaced by mobile access credentials, learn about their main features and advantages and integrate this emerging technology into your projects.  Almost 90% of the secured doors in the places where we work and live use RFID cards. This small plastic is very common thanks to its simplicity. Just one touch and you're done. These cards have been very popular in offices for 20 years, but they are starting to get old. One of the main causes of this obsolescence are the current hybrid, distributed and remote work models, which allow greater flexibility. Mobile access control replaces the access credential from a separate card to a mobile phone, making RFID cards and employee badges unnecessary.  To use a mobile access control System simply touch the reader with the phone, just as you do with a card. This type of access is sometimes called “smartphone door access,” but this technology can do much more than open doors. This article presents different resource

Integrations of Suprema and Bio Star 2 teams with other platforms

Image
Suprema offers you a world of integration options so that your access control systems have more and better benefits for the end user.  In a world increasingly connected to the internet of things, integrations are an essential feature of the best access control systems.  The access control system can be integrated with the surveillance cameras in a residential complex or with a specialized platform for personnel management, referring to solutions that allow managing the number of personnel, work schedules and more within a company. As with the examples mentioned above, these integrations can be extended to various settings to suit customer needs. What is an integration? Systems integration or IT integration refers to the connection of data, applications, software and devices to achieve greater productivity and thus meet the needs of the changing environment. Suprema's access control readers can be integrated with third-party platforms to take advantage of the capabilities of the eq

Access control system Top trends in secure identification

Image
Each year, HID Global publishes its projections on the main technology trends in secure identification for the coming year. This publication is intended to help organizations understand and take advantage of the latest advances to improve the security, convenience, and experience of their users. six technological trends that will drive new functionalities in different markets: ·         Increased innovation, encouraged by interoperable platforms that allow partners to design new solutions (secure print authentication, access control system to electric vehicle charging stations, among others) that can be accessed with the same card or smartphone as it is used to open doors. ·         Adoption of new credential presentations. ·         Other ways to open doors and other entrances. ·         Advances in the way of managing identities. ·         Using biometrics to help security migrate from a barrier to a containment fence. ·         The growing popularity of interconnected devices,

Open the door to global standards in access control

Image
Today, offering a truly integrated, long-lasting security solution requires more than cutting-edge technology from a single vendor. It involves finding a way for today's systems not only to communicate with each other, but also with the systems of the future. End users want the flexibility to determine which product best meets their security needs, both for their current purchases and for future enhancements, without having to be restricted to using solutions from a single manufacturer . Various industry initiatives have sought to design a single global interface for the interoperability of IP products. This common protocol, regarding the way network video devices exchange information, would allow installers to integrate products from different manufacturers into a single system. The standard will also help software marketers to ensure that their products are compatible with different brands of networked products. For product manufacturers an open standard ensures interoperability

7 Access Control system Trends

Image
When we think of access control, in a building from decades ago, we imagine a doorman or someone who wrote down his data and allowed him access. Over the years, this identification has been made through plastic cards, many of which we use today. On the other hand, nowadays, with the advent of new technologies, we have biometric authentication, and facial, among others. Certainly, access to control systems has been adapted to the different needs of generations that increasingly require easy, agile, secure and flexible solutions. Some of the trends in this sector are listed below. 1. The movement towards mobility: The emergence of technologies such as short-range communications (Near Field Communications, NFC) and others are driving the migration of access control technologies to mobile platforms. The same basic methodology for access control systems that we have used for decades can be integrated into smartphones and other mobile devices, with which we can eliminate keys and cards to
