Access Control Time Attendance

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 res...

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 t...

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 ...

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 ...

Near Field Communications (NFC) is a technology that will accelerate the use of mobile phones as electronic keys for access control. Although the technology already exists, the necessary infrastructure and assistive devices still have a long way to go. In this article, Rachel Sa from ASSA Abloy Future Labs assesses the benefits and applications of mobile contactless credentials for access control system. Mobile phones have continually offered users more tools and benefits than simply making and receiving calls. Today, our phones serve as calendars, cameras, computers, and mini video game consoles. Thanks to Near Field Communications (NFC), another valuable tool will be able to have digital keys on your mobile phone in the near future. The Benefits of Near Field Communications Mobile contactless credentials act as virtual keys or access control cards that can be stored on your mobile phone and used to lock and unlock doors. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range, wireless high-...
