What’s an Access Control System
- Access control systems serve a critical role in any sensitive area, allowing only the right persons to enter at a given time.
- Multiple configurations cater to various budgets and needs, ranging from the simplest card reader to the now commonly used fingerprint terminals, to the algorithm-enabled facial recognition terminal.
- Hikvision’s many devices – such as controllers, card readers, turnstiles, and door locks – offer you a complete and secure access control system.
- As customer requirements grow more complex, a single solution can no longer fulfil every need. That’s why you can combine our access control systems’ various authentication methods, such as ID cards, fingerprints, passwords, facial images, and QR codes, just to name a few.
- On top of basic functions, Hikvision hardware extends to advanced access management through anti-pass back, combined authentications, interlocking, and more. And the professional management software makes device registration, management, and personnel registration much easier.
Types of Access Control
1. Hikvision Face Recognition Terminals
- Authorized access has come a long way from using keys, pin codes, cards, and fingerprints. We now find ourselves stepping into the era of more advanced biometric recognition. The use of face recognition in access control and time attendance has been quite popular in the market, mostly for its advantageous "touch - free" experience. Later, as access control continued to develop in biometric recognition, iris recognition became a new trend – especially for scenarios that require higher security and more convenience.
- With advanced deep learning algorithms and practical functions, Hikvision's MinMoe Face Recognition Terminals and Iris Recognition Terminals improve security and efficiency in access control and time attendance, making them easier than ever!
