iEVO biometric fingerprint door entry reader

Biometric access control solution.

Access control solutions are continuously evolving and Biometric readers are no exception. Using fingerprint technology vastly improves door entry security and nullifies the risk of cards being passed to to third parties. Frequently however in the past Biometrics have been unreliable and slow.

Fingerprint Reader.

iEVO  though have a team of people that have developed a product that addresses many of the problems that have plagued fingerprint readers in the past. With the added benefit of the ability to integrate into Paxton access controllers the partnership makes for a successful formula.

Good design.

The iEVO is an IP device and is minimalistic in design. It is user friendly and vandal resistant. Designed to be used both internally and externally it is IP65 rated and can be flush or surface mounted .

So whats the secret of reliability.

Well by using a technology called Multi spectral imaging  the reader is able to obtain fingerprints through dust, dirt water and oils. An impressive demonstration of the unit also proved it could actually see through light latex gloves as well.

Benefits.

The ergonomics of the unit mean that it fits in well into building design making it a favorite with architects .  It also has a thermostat heated sensor when being used externally and includes wiegand outputs for interfacing and is networkable.

Conclusion.

It seems the iEVO team have pretty much though of everything here, you can even buy the units in different colours. If you have used this biometric solution please let us have your feedback . However having been demonstrated this unit we would recommend you take iEVO biometric readers into consideration to help increase security for your door entry systems.

Paxton Access Control solutions

Why use Paxton Access control?

Paxton are one of the leading suppliers of Access control solutions in Europe today. They have targeted small to medium sized business and have come up with some excellent products that suit the needs of their target audience.

What can access control do for your business?

The best way to manage access control solutions within a business is to control and perform the administration through a central PC. This means networking the readers in order to establish movement throughout the premises. The result is that information entered into the PC is sent to each door controller and uploaded to the readers .

What are the benefits of this?

Readers can be programmed to only accept individuals tokens at certain times in certain doors. It allows event reporting so that the administrator knows who has been where in the building and when? Other benefits include control of other buildings on site through a LAN connection or off site through a WAN or broadband connection.

CCTV integration.

CCTV can also be integrated along with other products such as biometric readers and fire alarm systems. Roll call and Muster points give added benefits to the end user.

Proactive.

Access control is a proactive security solution. It stops crime before it can happen by limiting access through a building and controlling movement. Sales are predicted to grow steadily over the next few years and biometrics especially will make the access control systems out there more secure and give plenty of opportunities to upgrade existing installations.  IFSEC will be exhibiting plenty of access control solutions this year but Paxton will be one to keep your eye out for.

integrated security system

Integrated security solution

 In the future, high risk buildings and important events will require a radical security solution to ensure any threat and  unauthorised entry is reduced to an absolute minimum. Access control integrated to CCTV and then  linked to biometrics is something we should all be expecting to confront in the future.Registration and submission of personnel data including finger prints prior to attendance will be common place.

It can only be you!

 The whole integrated security solution gives an almost infallible confirmation that the person trying to gain access is indeed exactly who he /she says they are. This will become more and more important to be able to confirm as risks rise. Also however, as the technology gets more advanced and the speed of the system gets faster, this fairly restrictive access control solution actually becomes more palatable to the general public . Especially when at the end of the day it is the general public we are all trying to protect.

Terrorist threat

 It may sound like our liberties are being infringed upon and our patience very severely tested but with terrorists and criminals becoming more and more sophisticated pre -registration to gain access to many buildings and events will inevitably become  pre -requisite in the future. We have to learn to live with this and embrace the integrated security solutions that will hopefully  make all our lives safer.
