We know what the Access control system is. It's the combination of access control readers, locks, exit buttons, and more installed on a door. Authorized users with assigned credentials can access these doors by presenting their credentials. Click to know What's Access control? But do you know how it actually works ? What are the main key points behind it? Typically door access control systems operate based on three fundamental sets:  Who When Where Although these words may seem straightforward, they carry profound significance in the context of Door Access Control. The entire range of access control features revolves around these key elements, which play a crucial role in ensuring effective security measures. The first set, " Who " refers to the identification and authentication of individuals seeking access to a particular area. It involves verifying the credentials of users , such as access control cards, key fobs, or biometric data such as F...

In the Facial Recognition industry, there are commonly 2 types of Facial recognition available one is called IR  and Visual Facial recognition.  IR facial recognition is a type of facial recognition technology that uses infrared light to capture images of a person's face and identify them. This technology uses a special camera that emits infrared light to illuminate the face and capture an image. The infrared light is not visible to the human eye but can be captured by the camera, allowing it to capture clear images of the face even in low-light or no-light conditions. IR facial recognition is an advanced biometric technology that offers high accuracy and security for identification and authentication purposes. It is commonly used in various applications such as access control, security systems, border control, and law enforcement. Unlike traditional facial recognition systems, IR facial recognition is not affected by lighting conditions or changes in appearance, such as weari...

The security of a biometric device can be measured using various metrics that evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the device in detecting and verifying an individual's identity. The most common terms are FAR & FRR. FAR stands for "False Acceptance Rate" in biometrics. It measures the likelihood that an unauthorized person will be mistakenly recognized as an authorized user by a biometric system. In other words, FAR is the rate at which the biometric system incorrectly accepts an impostor as a genuine user. This can happen due to various reasons such as system error, sensor malfunction, or intentional fraud. FAR is usually expressed as a percentage, an essential metric for evaluating the effectiveness and security of a biometric system. The lower the FAR, the more secure the system is considered to be.  FRR stands for "False Rejection Rate" in biometrics. It measures the likelihood that a genuine user will be wrongly rejected by a biometri...

Biometrics refers to the use of unique physical or behavioral characteristics of individuals to identify and authenticate them. Biometric systems use various techniques such as fingerprint scanning, iris recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, and behavioral biometrics like gait recognition or typing patterns to verify the identity of an individual. The goal of biometrics is to provide a secure and reliable way to identify individuals and grant access to protected systems or facilities. Biometric systems are used in various applications such as border control, law enforcement, banking and finance, healthcare, and physical access control it  work by capturing and storing biometric data from an individual, such as a fingerprint or facial image, and comparing it to a database of pre-enrolled biometric data to identify the individual. The system then generates a match score or probability that the individual is who they claim to be. Biometric...

Anti-passback is a security feature in access control systems that prevents users from gaining access to a secured area twice with a single authorization. In an access control system with anti-passback enabled, a user's access credential is only valid for one entry to a specific area. When the user enters that area, the system records the time and location of the entry, and the credential is "checked out" by the system. The user must then exit the area using an authorized exit point, which the system also records. Once the user has exited, the credential is "checked in" by the system and is once again available for use. If the user attempts to gain access to the area again without first exiting through an authorized exit point, the system will deny the access request, triggering an alarm or alert to notify security personnel of the unauthorized attempt. The anti-passback feature helps to prevent unauthorized access and ensures that individuals cannot ente...

  What's Access & Access Control -  Access control refers to the practice of restricting access to resources, systems, or information to authorized users or processes. It is a security measure used to ensure that only authorized individuals or entities are able to access specific resources while preventing unauthorized access or malicious activities. Normally Access means entering or reaching a place, but when we say Access Control that means it's still available to Access, but it's being controlled for some reason and it's not accessible for everyone only the authorized person can now. Ultimately if a person is allowed he/she will gain access else it will be denied. Just like at our homes we use a Physical key and Lock to control access, so yes Physical keys and Locks are also a part of access control. So yes we can say, access control is the protocol that restricts/allows selected persons to  protect a place/premises/area. Where  & Wh...

 Access control is a solution that is required in all fields and scales as a basic element of security, it is widely used at places that are trying to physically protect property or information from unauthorized people.  Centralized access control solution is one of the solutions we use for Access control, this can be for one single building, so a centralized access solution is one unified system for all your Access control doors for which you have one global security policy and your system is managed centrally.   In very simple and lame language you can understand the centralized access control solution is like Controller and reader-based solution. There will be one centralized COntroller and on Doors, all will be a reader only which will be connected to the Centralised Door Controller over Wiegand or via RS-485 or over OSDP with the help of the Slave controller. Suprema Centralised Architecture Flow Diagram Obviously, with each solution, there ar...

In the fields of physical and information security, access control is the restriction of access to a place or resource and allows only those who are actually authorized. Usually, the security of our offices, warehouses, other places, and resources consists of 2 types, one is Video Surveillance and another is Acess control . The surveillance part is  done by cameras and obviously, video cameras can't do access control tasks, so to restrict unauthorized people from Gain Access and allow to pass only valid users we choose to go with access control devices, if we look for those access devices then there are so many  Access control device, several varieties and manufacturers available in the market globally. Access control requirements differed from place to place and person to person, and identifying the exact requirement saves lots of time, effort, and obviously Money. That's why before deciding on Any access control better to ask a few questions and get the answers... ...

Suprema In 2015 Suprema Released BioStation2 which identified people with fingerprints rather than faces, so now in 2022, as the successor of BioStation2   Suprema showcased a new generation of access control products that focuses heavily on contactless solutions with BioStation 3 , it is an all-in-one access control solution that provides multiple credential options from facial recognition and mobile access to QR codes, barcodes, and RFID cards. It also includes improved features reflecting the needs of operators, installers, and end-users and provides higher accuracy, faster recognition speed, and a lower false acceptance rate (FAR) even with faces covered with masks of various shapes and colors.   In addition, Suprema has continued to maintain its position as an industry leader by adopting the most advanced AI processor — a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) — to provide the best facial authentication performance available on the market today.
