Card Access
A well-designed card access system is one that is easy to use and maintain. It is flexible and adjusts to the needs of the user. The EAC allows the tracking of whom, when, why and for how long access is being requested and granted. It can be designed to give security personnel immediate notification of a problem and access to guidelines or procedures to deal with the problem.
Installation includes user friendly custom graphics which depict network, floor plan, doorways, and tamper status. The access system can be integrated with video surveillance for a complete security solution. Each Delta Access system, installed by Durell, includes a historical trend log data that enables accurate traffic analysis, or a sophisticated alarm generation system details alarm level and operator response.
Please see our Product section for more information. Below are some benefits of our Card Access system.
Asset Protection - Flexibility in the amount of protection provided can vary according to the importance of the information or assets being secured.
Deletion or Replacement of Cards - Unlike a conventional key system, a lost or stolen card can be replaced and voided in one simple operation and numerous key replacements for other key holders are not needed.
Elevator Control - Allow or restrict access to any one floor or group of floors while allowing free access to public floors.
Enhancement of Personal Safety - By limiting the access into secure areas and parking facilities to authorized individuals only, theft, vandalism, assault and accidents are greatly reduced.
CCTV Integration -Our system allow integration with Closed Circuit TV. When access is requested the CCTV is activated by a signal relayed back to the monitor. This will lead to the more efficient use of guard forces and in many cases reduction of guards through video verification of events.
Improved Accountability - Scrutinize all access behaviour and analyze system reports for efficiency of access privileges, compliance to policies and procedures, and assess changing security needs.
Improve Response to Incidents - Monitor all access points throughout the facility. Respond promptly and automatically to emergencies, to forced or unauthorized entry into protected areas. The response possibilities range from a simple audible alarm or immediately contacting police or Emergency Medical Services to a complex protocol suited to the needs of the proprietor.
Protect Multiple Tenants - Besides providing individualized access control and asset protection for tenants, a separate report can be issued for their floor or suite.
Operating Efficiencies - Supplement security and reduce the need for security guard services with more cost effective access control and facility management. Using a centralized monitoring facility can allow multi-site companies to reduce overall monitoring costs. In many cases insurance providers will offer reduced premiums to clients who have deployed security programs and systems. When systems provide the capability combining security systems with environmental controls can lead to more efficient use of energy resources by only providing service in occupied spaces.
Theoretical Scenario: John Smith Stadium, ON
The building management system (BMS) at John Smith Stadium (JSS) is fully integrated using Delta native BACnet hardware for ventilation, access and lighting control.
For energy cost-saving purposes; ventilation and lighting is based on strict scheduling and occupancy-based control sequences.
JSS was designed with multiple independent zones based on the stand sections, since different venues use different configurations and have different numbers of attendees. Swipe cards are used to activate and deactivate each section during venue preparations. When each section of the stands is activated, ventilation runs on minimum and only one of the multiple banks of lighting is activated until the area is occupied. When the event ends and the stands are vacated, lighting and ventilation drops back to a minimum until a card is swiped or the building schedule commands them off. Due to functions built into the CCTV hardware, the difference between a lone staff member and a crowd is determined and the ventilation and lighting are modulated to reflect it.
To accomplish this, Delta HVAC, access and lighting controllers on the same network are programmed as a single system. Inputs from an advanced CCTV digital video recorder inform the system of occupancy status and the controllers cooperate in response. Operation of the entire system can be monitored and its response tuned via web interface from workstations in offices and mechanical rooms anywhere in the building.
