Access Control Components

  • These systems use proximity cards or smart cards that are swiped or tapped to gain access. They are widely used in office buildings, universities, and hotels.

  • Biometric access control relies on unique physiological characteristics like fingerprints, iris scans, and facial recognition. They offer a high level of security and accuracy.

  • Users enter a unique PIN on a keypad to gain access. While cost-effective, they are less secure due to the potential for PIN sharing.

  • With the universality of smartphones, mobile-based access control systems are gaining popularity. Users can unlock doors using their smartphones, often through Bluetooth or NFC technology.

  • Cloud-based systems allow administrators to manage access from anywhere with an internet connection. This is especially useful for businesses with multiple locations.

 

Cloud-Based or On-Site Access Control

Choosing between cloud-based and on-site access control depends on factors such as budget, security needs, scalability requirements, technical expertise, and the organization's overall IT strategy.

At perk-it, we work alongside you to assess your business’s access control needs, designing and installing a custom system that works best.

 
Spec Cloud-Based On-Site
Remote Management Administrators can manage the system from anywhere with an internet connection, enabling remote monitoring, configuration changes, and real-time updates. Management and updates typically require physical presence at the location of the system.
Scalability These systems are often more scalable, as additional users, doors, or locations can be easily added by the service provider without major hardware changes on-site. Scalability might involve the need to purchase additional hardware and conduct installations, potentially resulting in higher upfront costs.
Maintenance and Updates The service provider can easily handle maintenance, updates, and security patches remotely, reducing maintenance costs. The service provider may have to travel on-site to maintain and update the system, increasing maintenance costs and, depending on visit frequency, leave the system on a old firmware version.
Cost Structure Typically, cloud-based systems involve subscription-based models with regular payments, potentially reducing upfront costs but resulting in ongoing expenses. Initial costs might be higher due to hardware and installation expenses, but ongoing costs could be lower without subscription fees.
Connectivity and Reliability Uses internet connectivity for ease of management and updates. Uses local network for management and control.
Security Uses cloud provider's security measures, encryption practices, and data protection protocols and can provide quicker updates. Offers more direct control over security measures, but the level of security can vary based on the organization's practices.
Initial Install Time Can often be set up more quickly since it doesn't require extensive hardware installation. Setup might take longer due to hardware and infrastructure requirements.
Accessibility Accessible from various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. Access might be more limited to on-site devices.
