VMAccess
VMAccess is our access control system that helps you manage on site security and gives you control over who can access the doors in your building and at what times. While an access control systems main duty is to restrict access to unauthorised persons and grant access to others, VMAcess also allows you to monitor your staff whereabouts and time keeping.
Whether your business is large or small, typically you will have external door(s) open/unlocked during the working day; this in itself is a security risk to your property, assets and staff. An access control system is the most effective way to protect your business.
When an access system is installed, staff are issued with an access token, usually either a card or fob. When presented to a reader it will open the door, assuming the token is permitted to open that door at that time of day. If they are granted access, the door lock will release enabling access and will automatically lock when it closes too.
All in all our VMAccess systems work to safe guard personnel and equipment, serves to restrict unauthorised persons from roaming around your building, ensures staff members only have access to areas of the building granted to them and works to generate movement and time keeping reports.
What's more the system can be over-ridden for special events and in times of emergency so people can get out of the building through their nearest exit. In addition for this scenario, a fire roster can also quickly be produced so you can check people off against it. This is much easier and safer than having to make a mad dash for the visitor register.
The Pros to installing a VMAcess system
- You can centrally manage your on site security.
- If cards or fobs get lost they can be deactivated and replaced, safer and easier than replacing lost keys.
- With individual set protocols each card will be set for one person, giving them unique permissions throughout the building.
- If staff members leave, their card or fob can be deactivated - safe guarding your building and giving you peace of mind.
- You can easily locate individuals by generating reports that detail whereabouts and you can monitor time keeping.
- You can enable restricted access – safeguarding equipment and stock.
- Access Control systems are much safer than code entry systems as code combinations can be learnt by unauthorised persons and access be granted.
So which system is best for your organisation?
Standalone or Networked?
Standalone
We can provide a range of token, pin or biometric standalone access systems from IDTeck.
On a proximity token or biometric based system, the token or fingerprint is enrolled locally on each reader. You can have multiple standalone systems in your building but the token or fingerprint does need to be enrolled on each controller.
Generally, the maximum number of tokens that can be stored is 512.
Networked
We can provide small-scale Networked systems with the RFL200c, linking each door reader on a dedicated network or, for larger systems, the ITDC unit which can be linked via your building computer network.
RFL200c
The RFL200c is a network version of the standalone RFL200 and can have up to 512 fobs or cards. You can add time schedules and download the access data. This is ideal for smaller networks, but we would not recommend using more than six doors on the system. The system is controlled by the RFL200c software package.
ITDC
One ITDC unit can serve up to four doors in one area and links back via the computer network to the software running on your computers. You can link up to 256 ITDC units in one installation, covering over 1,000 doors.
The ITDC unit can also work with, Mifare Proximity cards, fobs, PIN Number, Finger Print and Face recognition, providing a wider range of technologies and features.
