Access control: link authorizations to building doors

Badges, readers, opening controls and interfaces: prepare access control with site uses and door constraints.

Start from your situation.

A condominium entrance, a hotel room and a team room do not have the same operation. It is necessary to define who can enter, where and under what conditions. The preparation examines the existing doors, closures and connections. Devices can associate badge reader, intercom or electronic lock as required. The choice of equipment must remain linked to the way in which people travel and the manager monitors authorizations.

Alltech prepares the connections and integration of equipment into the building. The interfaces with carpentry, electricity and IT management must be explicit: supply of the strike, power supply, cable routing, configuration and daily management do not always come under the same umbrella. For a renovation, the existing is examined before finalizing the scope. The verification concerns the expected uses, and the person responsible must know who to contact for a modification or difficulty.

The points that count.

Starting from permissions

Define usage profiles and how to manage a lost badge, arrival or departure. The solution chosen must correspond to this organization.

Coordinate the door and connections

Prepare needs with the door, door closure and power supply stakeholders prior to completion of the site.

Distinguish between equipment

A surveillance camera, a videophone and an electronic lock respond to different functions. Bringing them together requires clarification of the necessary interfaces.

Intersecting services.

Build the access organization before the equipment list

The need is described by bringing together people, doors and access times. A person welcomed occasionally, a member of the team and a service provider do not necessarily have to have the same authorizations. The manager must also know who can create, modify or withdraw access. These decisions make the choice of readers and media more precise.

The door is part of the system

The reader alone does not resolve the constraints of an entry. The condition of the door, the closing device, the power supply, the cable passages and the opening control must be examined together. The quote must make the supply and installation limits understandable: who supplies the closure, who installs it, who connects it and who configures the system? These points are prepared with the trades concerned before the finishing touches.

Retake an existing one without losing the organization in place

For an extension or replacement, gather the equipment references, the doors already equipped and the management methods used on a daily basis. The compatibility of readers, badges and administration tools is checked on this basis. Keeping equipment is only useful if its functions and condition correspond to the project. The transition should also address how users continue to access affected areas during the change.

Tests that reflect real uses

Commissioning must be based on situations chosen with the site manager: access authorized, access refused according to the profile, action after loss and visitor route if intercom is associated. The available functions depend on the installed solution; they are specified before including them in the tests. The person responsible for management must leave with the information necessary for day-to-day operations and monitoring.

For hotel rooms, the electronic lock request in addition to examining the adaptation to the door and the organization of the reception. When an interface with a business application is envisaged, Dtouch can study the exchanges with the publishers concerned.

Start with the dimensions of the existing.

Before getting started.

Can we keep part of the installation?

This is verified with the references, the state of the connections and the functions sought. A visit or technical information may be necessary to define what can be reused.

Does access control replace the intercom?

The two functions can complement each other: the reader manages authorizations while the intercom allows you to communicate with a visitor. The project specifies the links between the devices.

Connecting the right skills.

In a residence: rights, control and door.

A badge that is not accepted and a door that remains closed after an opening order do not lead to the same checks. The manager specifies the passage, the users involved and what has changed: lost badge, new occupant, door intervention or clearance change. The checks then bring the expected fees closer to the physical operation of the entrance.

To prepare for a development, the main entrances, service accesses and technical rooms are identified with the people who must use them. The arrangements for handing over and removing means of access are prepared with the manager. Testing the door completes the configuration: the reader, the command and the opening are part of the same usage path.
