Our cutting-edge access control systems extend capabilities, improve operational efficiencies and instill confidence that precious assets, resources and people are secured and protected. STC’s access control solutions enable:
Biometric access control looks at things that are unique to each individual to either grant or deny access to a building or area of a building. This includes fingerprints, retina scans, facial recognition, and/or voice. Now, when you go to open the door, you scan your finger. The system analyzes the print and sees if it matches one in the database. If it does, then the access control opens up and lets you in. If there’s no match, then access is denied. It adds an extra layer of protection that helps control who’s allowed where.
RFID technology makes use of electromagnetic waves to capture and read transmitted data; the information is electronically stored on a tag that is attached to an object or to the carrier, and that tag’s chip is activated to share its information when it’s near a reader. These tags can be detected from several feet away by the receiver, making them useful in access control for buildings with many cardholders. RFID-enabled tags are employed on a very basic level as the identification badges of the workers for any company or industry that uses access control systems.
Keypad access control systems are simple security systems that require just a PIN code for door or gate entry with no access card or credential required. Keypad systems are generally used for access applications with low security and a limited amount of users with authorized access.
A mantrap is an access control system that consists of a small space and two interlocking doors. One set of the doors must close before the other one can be opened so that an individual is briefly ‘trapped’ in the vestibule before clearing the second door. These vestibules can be manually operated or have automatic systems. For automatic mantraps, some form of identification, like a key card or security code, is needed to unlock each door.
Fire alarm systems are mostly a legal or insurance requirement. Smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors trigger the alarm to notify everything in the space and turn on the sprinklers. They are designed to discover fires early in their development when time will still be available for the safe evacuation of occupants. Early detection also plays a significant role in protecting the safety of emergency response personnel. Property loss can be reduced and downtime for the operation minimized through early detection because control efforts are started while the fire is still small. Most alarm systems provide information to emergency responders on the location of the fire, speeding the process of fire control.
To detect if an unwanted burglar comes visit your office after hours or on weekends, you probably want a burglary system set up. Those systems typically operate on a simple principle: They get activated with a code or card and from then on every time someone comes through the door and does not de-activate the alarm in time sets off a large scale alarm. Burglar alarm systems come in four main categories which are: Bells-only alarms make a noise, but don’t contact anyone (such as the police or you). Dialer burglar alarms automatically dial your phone number, or that of nominated employees, when the alarm is triggered. Smart security systems contact you or employees when the alarm goes off through a smartphone or tablet app. A monitoring contract means you pay a company monthly or annually to take action or call the police if the alarm goes off.
