2. Access control systems are the electronic systems that are designed to control access authorization through a network. Access
Control System recognizes authenticates and authorizes entry of a person to enter into the premise thereby giving complete
protection ensuring security of the premises.
Many ACS use network for communication purpose and information is communicated through these networks .ACS helps to
connect multiple facility across globe for giving ease of access and security control from single location.
Organizations which require high security use different credential systems and one or more credential combinations like bio
metric, RFID, door controllers and card readers etc. Each access point may be controlled individually as per the requirement of an
organizations.
Mainly access control system is divided in two categories
1. External ACS and 2. Internal ACS
Both categories of ACS are specific to nature of premises,
deployment of internal and external ACS mostly depends
upon nature of building and geographic region threat level
rating and also upon type of usage.
What Is Access Control System ?

3. Some of the reason for access control system deployment in your premises
Security : Provide 24 x 7 electronic security irrespective of your premises is open or closed
Environment : Many advantage of well deployed and managed ACS
• Occupancy and load pattern to increase efficiency
• Control of lighting and cooling based on occupancy
• Reduce wastage by control of printers
Health & Safety : Controlled access to area based on work profile can assist in compliance with health & safety
• Limit access to area having hazardous substances
• Restrict access to under construction and contaminated area as per safety point.
IT : Integrate with access for single point of control
• Command and control center for multiple office location
• Control single sign on access based upon user location
HR & Time and Attendance :
• Improve punctuality and reduce unscheduled breaks
• Increase efficiency by removing manual time sheets
Reason For Access Control System Deployment

4. Access control systems are graded according to the type of business and risk associated, grades applied to protected
area and not to the overall system therefore mixed grades may be utilised within premises.
Access point grading are mainly classified into four grades
Grade1 : Low Risk
• Standalone lock or offline system ,internal area where you want to restrict public movement
Grade 2 : Low to Medium Risk
• On-line system, commercial building and small business offices
Grade 3 : Medium to High Risk
• On line system using two factor authentication or single factor biometric to prevent access
Grade 4 : High Risk
• On line system using two factor authentication, one of which should be biometric
Security Grading System Risk Classifications

5. • Anti Passback : A feature that traces individual credential access requests to a given area. It checks for granting of
access not preceded by granting of egress (or vice versa) to check that the credential has not been “passed back”
to another user. Also refer to hard anti - passback, soft anti - passback, logical anti - passback and timed anti-
passback.
• Soft Anti - Passback : Grants access but generates alert for violation of anti-passback rule
• Authentication : A system compare credentials of user with recorded credential for access.
• Anti Loiter : A feature that monitors path of the user through a security controlled area and produce path graphical
representation
• Card Blocked : Removal of access permission for a particular credential
• Degrade Mode : In case of an failure of main controller field controller will work independently.
• Door Opened Too Long : Alarm for door opened for more than defined time after access to user
• Door Forced : Unauthorized opening of an door
• Dual Access : For highly secured and unmanned area 2 sequential authorize request is required for access
• Fail locked : Securing of an locking mechanism in case of power failure
• Fail Open : Release of locking mechanism in case of access system failure / power failure
• Free Access : A condition in which door is allowed to be open without any credential (ex. Emergency Evacuation)
• Tailgating : A person passes with a person carrying credential
• Tamper Detection : Detecting unauthorized interference
• Tamper Protection : Protection against deliberate interference
Access Control System Features To Look For

6. Number of components used from identification of an person to authorise access.
Credentials :
• PIN/Code Based access :
PIN/Codes are nothing but an numeric digits having 4,5 or 6 characters for access.
• Swipe/Token :
Cards are used with magnetic strip on reader for access, not fully secured and cards to be changed regularly.
• Proximity Cards :
Cards having small chip inside for storing details, used for short distance authentication for access, more secured than swipe
cards and less wear and tear de to contactless.
• RFID Cards :
Contact less technology having space which is used for multiple application from 1 card
• Mobile Device :
NFC and Bluetooth enabled mobile and reader can exchange data for communication which results into authentication for
providing access.
Types Of Credentials Used In ACS

7. Number of components used from identification of an person to authorise access.
Credentials : Biometrics
Biometric Verification : This is called as 1:1 comparison by providing PIN, it takes less time since comparison path is defined.
Biometric Identification : This technology works on comparing 1:N template and takes time depending upon number of stored
templates
Available Biometric Technology
• Finger Print
• Facial Recognition
• IRIS
• Retina
• Hand Geometry
• Vein Recognition
• Voice
Types Of Credentials Used In ACS

8. Access Control Reader & Controller
Readers are classified according to functions they perform.
Standalone Reader + Keypads : Used for small application involving 1 to 5 doors and decision taken independently.
Standalone Reader + Controller : Standalone reader with controller functionality for single independent door, suitable for
application ranging from 1 to 10 doors.
Online Reader : For online reader access decision is taken by an computer connected to an specific reader for granting
access.
Offline Reader : In this scenario cards hold the database for access and there is no controller or computer is involved for
decision making.
Reader & Controller : This kind of system used for reader more than 10 Nos and number of controllers connected to a
common software for analysis and reporting this is commonly used for medium to large office scenario.
IP Controller : Connected to ACS software via network switch, combination can be ranged from 2/4/8 doors controller
Non IP Controller : Also know as Master-Slave controller configuration, master controller is connected to an ACS software
Controller is nothing but a gateway between reader and software for decision making. Controller is connected to PC having
ACS software, alarm events and other information is exchanged between controller connected to an common network through
a common software. Controller can worked in offline mode as of when system is down and transaction can be recorder and
synced back when system is up.

9. Access cards are access key to your premises, by using access control cards you can access granted access as per
your nature of work within premises. Access cards are very useful to an security officer where he can defined user
specific door access to keep security check all time and also trace path of usage by an user.
Two types of card technology is available.
1. Prox Cards : Proximity cards comes in wide range of styles
A. Standard Prox Card
B. Composite Prox Card
C. Clamshell Prox Card
D. Magnetic Strip Card
E. Prox Cards Adhesive Tags
F. Corporate 1000
G. Prox Card Key Fobs
H. Prox Cards for Printing
2. Smart Cards : One difference between smart card and prox card,smart can read and write data which allows them
to use for wider range of applications.
A. iCLASS Cards
B. MIFARE Cards
