Access Permissions
Who may enter which doors, and when, is managed as permissions on the system — adjusted as roles and requirements change.
Control
Access control systems
Electronic access control systems help manage who may enter selected doors, rooms or controlled areas within a facility.
Controlled Areas
The right people, through the right doors.
Some doors should not open for everyone. Access control puts an electronic decision at each controlled door: a presented credential is checked against the permissions the facility has defined, and the door responds accordingly.
Which areas are controlled — server rooms, stores, administrative offices, restricted zones — is defined by the facility's requirement.
-
Present
A credential is presented at the reader.
-
Check
The controller checks the permissions.
-
Decide
Access is permitted or refused.
-
Record
The event can be recorded for review.
System architecture varies by equipment and project design.
System Elements
Credential to door, decision by decision.
-
01
Credentials
What a person presents to request access — card access and biometric access are common credential approaches, selected per requirement.
-
02
Readers
Read the presented credential at the controlled door or area.
-
03
Controllers
Decide whether the presented credential is permitted at that door, at that time.
-
04
Door Hardware
Electromagnetic locks and door-control hardware that hold or release the door per the controller's decision.
System Behaviour
Managed, recorded, scalable.
Event Records
Access events can be recorded by the system, supporting review of who accessed a controlled area and when, per the system's capabilities.
Multi-Door Systems
Access control scales from a single controlled door to systems managing many doors across a facility, per the design.
Our Approach
Assess. Specify. Install. Support.
-
01
Assess
We begin by understanding the facility, the requirement and the protection need.
-
02
Specify
We identify the equipment or system appropriate to the application.
-
03
Install
We supply and implement the agreed solution.
-
04
Support
We provide servicing, maintenance and technical support where required.
Application Contexts
Where access control may be considered.
- Controlled technical and server rooms
- Restricted administrative areas
- Stores and asset-holding rooms
- Staff and service entrances
Support
Permissions change. Systems keep up.
Access systems need configuration and upkeep as people, roles and controlled areas change — STARLION supports the systems it installs per the equipment and requirement.
Access control questions.
What is an access control system?
An electronic system that helps manage who may enter selected doors, rooms or controlled areas within a facility — using credentials, readers, controllers and door-control hardware selected around the facility requirement.
What is the difference between card and biometric access?
A card credential is something a person carries and presents; a biometric credential uses a personal characteristic such as a fingerprint. Which approach suits a controlled area depends on the requirement — many systems use both in different places.
Can access control be used for multiple doors?
Yes. Systems scale from a single door to many controlled doors across a facility, with permissions managed per door and per person, according to the system design.
