Difference between Standalone & Time Attendance Network Based System

There are 2 main types of access systems, namely standalone or time attendance based.

Standalone System basically restricts access without being about to track the person’s IN/OUT time, not able to control the door from a computer. Everything has to be done and program from the reader itself and normally manual recording of details is needed in order to know which User ID belongs to whom.

Time Attendance Based System is an upgraded system from the standalone system. It can be used to track employees IN/OUT time from the premise. It can also be used to gather information on the total number of working hours and total number of overtime the employee is having. Not only will you be able to track employees time with the company, you will also be able to control the time limit where a particular employee can enter the premise and whether this employee is given the access to certain doors or not. This will act as a higher security as some of the employees do not need access to certain doors.

However, this system have to be used along with a network and need to incorporated with the Gateway Software to control the door and the access of all the employees.

How to Identify Doors & The Brackets Needed

First of all, you need to identify what door type your premise is using, whether it is wooden door, glass door or glass door with metal frame. This will determine which type of bracket is needed to be used for the installation.

For wooden door installation, a L or ZL bracket might be needed if the door frame is narrow.

For glass doors, what you need to know first is whether the gap at the top of the door, between the door and the door frame, is at least 5mm wide. If it is narrower than 5mm, the door might need to be adjusted lower by your door vendor before you engage us to install the access control system. This is because we need the minimum gap to allow us to put the U bracket onto the glass door.

In normal circumstances, the EM Lock will be mount inside the premises (for security purposes) and the door is normally a one way swing out door after installing the access control system. Installing a system with EM Lock will not allow you to be able to swing your door both ways.

Frequent Asked Questions

What is Access Control System?

Access Control system is also known as keyless door system, proximity card system, security card access system, etc. It is an electronic security system which permits or restricts access to specific areas of the premise. It not only designed to protect the property against unwanted visitors but also ensures the safety of both the property and the people inside.

In simple terms, an Access Control System provides control of entry (or exit) through nominated doors via a control panel and some form of electric locking facility.

This system is simple, reliable and cost effective. Nowadays, door access system is widely used for stopping unauthorized person entering your office/ premises. By pressing the pin or using card (proximity card).



What is the Card and PIN Reader?

This is the most commonly used system. This reader recognizes both PIN numbers and cards that have been programmed inside.

With the advanced technology, users do not need to swipe their card, but rather, tap and present their card to the reader, which typically scans the card at a distance of about 50mm away. They can also press their personal PIN number to enter the door, if the PIN number function is enabled.

This is a fast, non-contact, method of releasing the lock and gaining access to the premises.



What is a Biometric Reader?

A Biometric Reader, also known as a Fingerprint or Thumb Print Reader, uses unique human characteristics, such as finger prints, to clearly identify who are permitted to access the place.

As this system based solely on the thumb prints, you do not need to fear your cards/ tags will be stolen or lost. It is also a way to control the number of misusing of some other people’s card to enter the premises which increase the level of security.

However, biometric system is very sensitive at times, which may, at times, not be able to read your finger prints properly and deny your access to the door(s).



How to allow access for visitors?

You will want to welcome most of those who visit your premises, so it must be easy for them to let you know they are there.

The three most common means of attracting attention are:

• A simple door bell system which alerts your staff to the fact that there is someone waiting outside.
• An audio intercom panel which allows the visitor to have a direct conversation with a member of your staff and, if appropriate, the door can be remotely released.
• An audio-video intercom panel which allows your staff to see who wants to enter the building before permitting access.



What are the things to consider when planning to get an access control system?

When planning an access control system, you should consider the following:

• How many entry/exit points

• Where are these entry/exit points located

• Level of security desired

•Tracking of the movement of staff around the building



Why does a Backup Battery NOT recommended to be used together with access control system?

In the events of emergency, i.e. fire, normal reaction is for people inside the premises to leave the place as soon as possible.

With the help of a backup battery to security the door, you will experience not being to get out of the premises on time due to the door being locked even though the power is cut off. The only way to break the contact is to break the glass of the Emergency Breakglass.

Research shows that when someone is in the absence of mind, they will not be able to react according to what they should, which means that there is a high chance that the person will not be able to locate the breakglass, or even visibly not able to see clearly, in this case may be due to smoke.
Even with the backup battery in place, it will last no longer than half an hour, which many a times doesn’t help much. Moreover, it violates the safety rules as well.

We recommend everyone who are planning to get the access system to continue to have their key system as well, because the access control system is a form of restriction and not safe security.
