Access control systems are vital security features that facilitate automated approval of authorized individuals into restricted areas or manage essential assets without the need for vetting or reviewing. Infinity Technologies provide card access as one security control option for businesses in the Chicago area. We install security access control systems limiting entry to access cardholders in schools, hospitals, apartments, offices, and manufacturing plants.
Access cards are cost-effective compared to hiring security officers at important entryways in the premises. They are also vital in auditing or tracking sensitive information like financials, employee movement, and delivery statuses because they leave a clear data trail.
Standard Components of a Card Access
Card access functions as an electronic key that has a unique code the card reader authorizes to open the door. Furthermore, one the back end a remote access control system controls the card, all entry points, and the people who have access. For added security some access control systems have numeric keys as an additional security measure. Users must input a security code after using the card to gain access. Otherwise, there are three types of card access for various access systems. The oldest is the Wiegand key card, a system that uses unerasable and non-programmable binary data to transmit information. The second card type is the swipe card, which has a magnetic stripe like a traditional credit card that we use everyday. The third and most common card uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for data transmission.
