Access Control Systems:

• Access control systems manage and regulate entry to buildings, rooms, or areas by allowing or restricting access to authorized individuals.
• They use various authentication methods such as keycards, PIN codes, biometric identifiers (fingerprint, iris scan), or mobile credentials to verify the identity of users.
• Access control systems can be standalone or networked, enabling centralized management and monitoring of access permissions across multiple entry points.
• Key components of access control systems include:
  • Access control panels: Centralized control units that manage authentication and grant access based on predefined rules and permissions.
  • Card readers: Devices that read access credentials (e.g., keycards or proximity cards) and transmit authentication data to the control panel.
  • Electric locks: Locking mechanisms that are electronically controlled and can be locked or unlocked remotely based on access permissions.
  • Software management platform: Interface for administrators to configure access rules, manage user profiles, and generate access reports.

Intercom Systems:

• Intercom systems facilitate real-time audio and/or video communication between individuals at different locations, typically within a building or property.
• They provide secure and convenient communication for visitor screening, entry authorization, and internal communication between staff or residents.
• Intercom systems can be wired or wireless, with options for audio-only, audio-video, or IP-based communication.
• Key components of intercom systems include:
  • Master stations: Control units located at designated points where users can initiate or receive intercom calls.
  • Substations: Remote units installed at entry points, rooms, or outdoor locations for communication with the master station.
  • Video cameras (for video intercom): Cameras integrated into the intercom system to provide visual identification of visitors or callers.
  • Handsets, speakers, or microphones: Audio devices used for two-way communication between users.
