Access control and security - RFID in identification and zones
RFID access control is rapid user identification and consistent management of privileges in zones. HF/NFC (cards, key fobs, wristbands) are most commonly used, and security procedures, event auditing and integration with access control systems are key.
What does RFID access control include?
The system can control doors, gates and turnstiles and record events. RFID makes it easy to operate and manage permissions consistently.
- Identification of employees, visitors and subcontractors.
- Zone permissions and schedules (roles, exceptions).
- Audit of events: entry/exit, unauthorized attempts.
- Personalization of media: imprint, number, organization format.
HF/NFC as standard and when to consider UHF
HF/NFC provides a short distance and a precise "apply the card" process, reducing accidental reads. UHF can be considered in scenarios requiring longer range, but the choice depends on security policy.
- HF/NFC: entrance control, person identification, posts and turnstiles.
- UHF: selected scenarios with greater distance (specific requirements).
Security: procedures, media recall, audit
Security is not only technology, but also procedures. Rapid withdrawal of a lost card, authorization control and reporting are important. Depending on the chip, different security mechanisms are possible.
- Deactivate the carrier and issue a new one.
- Reports and auditing for zones and events.
- Time permissions and roles.
Integration with access control system
RFID provides a user ID that is mapped in the system to an account and authorization. We support media personalization and consistent identification policies.
- Mapping ID to user and roles.
- Personalization and numbering of cards/bills.
- Reading point tests and emergency procedures.
