Frequently asked questions about card access control systems.

In this article, we will try to find answers to frequently asked questions about card access control systems for door entry. Card access control systems for doors are known in the industry as card access systems or access control systems. It should be noted that the door itself is not card-operated, but rather converted to a card access control system by applying the necessary card access system components.

How does a card door entry system work?

Card access door entry systems, also known as card access systems, are electronic systems with a central management panel and a card reader installed on the door where the system will be implemented. There is a software and server structure in the center of this system that will manage the system. In addition, there are cards with chips for the proximity type in the system. When the cards authorized and defined to the relevant and authorized persons through the software are read by the reader on the door, the door is opened. This is the basic principle of card access systems for doors.

What is personnel card access system?

Personnel card access system is a system that works based on the logic of card access systems described above. Basically, this system is a job-specific system that enables tracking of the entry and exit of employees entering and leaving work. Unlike standard access control systems, it is a more focused access control system that focuses on employees who are late, leave early, or do not come to work.

What is the difference between Magnetic Lock and Electric Lock?

In card access door systems, special locks are used for the door to open when authorized personnel swipe their cards. These locks are called electric or magnetic locks. Electric locks are locks that are attached to the latch part of the door. Magnetic locks, on the other hand, are a type of lock made magnetically on top of the door. The use of electric or magnetic locks on the door varies depending on the type of door. While it is easy to use a magnetic lock on some doors, it may be more technically suitable to use an electric lock on other doors.

What are electronic door systems?

Electronic door systems are door systems that replace traditional doors with integrated smart technologies. These systems are used especially in places with high human traffic such as offices, apartments, hotels and other places. Electronic door systems can include card access systems, fingerprint readers, facial recognition systems, magnetic locks, sensors, and other smart technologies. These systems are designed to provide security and access control at door entrances.

How many types of card-operated door opening systems are there?

Kart-based door opening systems can be classified into two main types: online systems and offline systems. Some systems only communicate with a PC for card verification, while others can perform card verification without being connected to a PC using their onboard data.

What does a monitored lock mean in a card door access system?

In card-operated door access systems, a lock and a magnetic contact must be used together. Nowadays, instead of a magnetic contact, electric locks or magnetic locks with a built-in magnetic contact are used. These locks with built-in magnetic contacts are called monitoring contact locks.

What are the types of buttons used in Card Access Control Systems?

Rex buttons and emergency buttons are two different types of access control system buttons used in card access control systems. Emergency buttons are safety buttons designed to be used in case of emergencies. Rex button, on the other hand, is a type of button used for exit purposes if a card reader is not used at the exit.

Another important issue is the cost.

The cost of card access door entry systems depends on many different factors. These factors include the type of technology used, the quality of the card reader, the type of door lock mechanism, installation costs, and other features. Therefore, the cost of card access door entry systems can vary widely within a price range.
