Access control for the modern office – ZKTeco’s comprehensive approach.

Having a robust access control solution is crucial for any modern office building.  ZKTeco, a leader in biometric security technology, offers products designed to meet the diverse needs of businesses, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your operations. 

You might be wondering, where to start?  Our recommendation is to start with controllers and software.

At the heart of any access control solution is the controller and the software that manages it. ZKTeco’s controllers are designed to handle multiple access points, making it easy to manage who enters and exits the premises. Paired with powerful software ZKBio CVSecurity, administrators can easily register users, assign access rights, and monitor activities in real-time. This software provides a centralised platform for managing all aspects of security, from personnel access to video surveillance integration.

Simple Door Access: RFID readers, Facial and Fingerprint authentication devices.

For basic access control, RFID readers are an excellent starting point. These devices allow authorised personnel to gain entry using RFID cards, providing a quick and efficient way to manage access without compromising security.

A typical application for the main entrance of your office building, employees can easily swipe their RFID cards, use fingerprint or facial authentication to gain access, while visitors can be issued temporary passes. This ensures that only those with proper authorisation can enter the building. The two most popular ZKTeco products are the SpeedFace V5L [P] and the ProMA with a Pro Controller.

The SpeedFace V5L  featuring the newest and most advanced facial recognition algorithms and advanced computer on technology offers more support for fingerprint, facial, and palm verification. With its impressive capacity and instant recognition capabilities, this device is perfect for high foot traffic areas. Additionally, its compatibility with facial cameras and QR codes via mobile app enhances accessibility and convenience.

ProMA: stands as a stalwart outdoor access control terminal equipped with face and fingerprint recognition capabilities. Designed to withstand harsh environment with its water, dust, and vandal-proof features, the ProMA ensures access control in virtually setting. Its support for the ZKTeco PUSH protocol further enhances its versatility for various applications.

Controlling access to IT/Server room.  The IT/server room is a critical area that needs to be highly secure. By installing facial authentication readers at the entrance, only authorised IT personnel can access this sensitive area, protecting valuable data and equipment. Completing these readers are magnetic locs (mag locks), which provide a strong and reliable means of securing doors. These locks can be controlled remotely, allowing administrators to lock or unlock doors as needed.

Modern office management also benefits from integrating time and attendance systems. ZKTeco’s facial authentication units streamline the process tracking employee attendance, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. At the staff entrance, employees can clock in using facial recognition units.

ZKTeco’s extensive range of access control solutions offer businesses the tools they need to create secure, efficient, and smart office environments. From basic RFID readers to advanced biometric systems and integrated software, each component plays a vital role in safeguarding your premises.
