Access Control is an essential part of any physical security solution. It allows you to ensure that the correct people have access to the right places, and can keep out any undesirable individuals. An access control system can provide enhanced security and safety for physical and intellectual property as well as people. To this end, a system of readers and access cards is a solid option to protect your organizational environment. Promedia works with a variety of the highest quality access control providers such as RS2 Technologies, HID Global, Altronix, Assa Abloy, and Honeywell to install solutions that create and maintain a secure, controlled environment at all times.
Promedia is proficient in the installation of systems including the standard card and reader technologies as well as wireless reader technology. Wireless readers can allow you to take advantage of your existing wireless infrastructure in order to develop savings on hardware and labor costs, and to provide access control to areas where wiring may be difficult and costly.
We also harness technology from Aiphone and EasyLobby, which allow you to manage visitor interaction from the time he or she enters your environment. These solutions help to monitor and track who is entering your buildings, and integrate well with the rest of your physical security strategy in order to develop a complete solution.
Card Readers
A reader is an electronic component of a physical access control system. Usually a self-contained unit, the is an autonomous device that performs the single purpose of interfacing to a card and providing an output to an access control panel. The core is encapsualted in a potting material to protect the reader electronics from the environment and vandalism.
Card Access
A card (or transponder) is a passive electronic device that relies on a reader to provide the necessary power for start-up and communication. The card consists of an application-specific integrated circuit connected to a multi-turn antenna, that when combined, creates the 13.56 MHz resonant frequency. The card can also be manufactured with unique data for the purpose of anti-collision, as well as the personalized cardholder data for physical access control.
