The future of access control system technology foresight and application difficult forecasting (1)

Card technology developments and breakthroughs

Today, a smart card on behalf of a card technology with constant phase based on the ISO standard magnetic stripe on the card can hold approximately 226 characters of data.

A one-dimensional bar code you accommodate even less. Smart card is actually embedded in the plastic in a Silicon integrated circuit (IC) chips, which can store large amounts of data, some of the more advanced card or even to provide computing power for encryption or support for open systems. In addition, when you move the card also can write data to or read from the card room.

Contact the card surface can provide dynamic production embedded IC chips and communicates.

This 「introduction contact 」 smart card in Europe for phone card. However due to the card and reader to contact you will definitely be lossy, so for the access control system application rather than the touch technique is preferred. Now non-touch smart card more easily compatible with different formats and different features. Non-contact smart cards is one of the limitations of the need to obtain enough energy to run the built-in IC chip, because the more complex IC chip will need more energy. Microprocessor card recently also in the form of non-contact type, and they provide almost all the functionality of contactless cards. A card can hold and then a large number of security encryption of storage are meaningless, unless you can use the data in them. Biometric requirements can obtain a valid user in database, as well as their biometric templates or registration data, and sent to the reader to compare identification on. Smart card provides a way to carry data — that is, effectively creates a virtual network, because the user carries the data to any need.

System integration

Technology development in other areas is the access control and other security-related or unrelated entities together.

Now security system integration in a common vision to integrate video and CCTV management system. This combination provides an effective structure for enhanced safety and security personnel of the melon. For example, once an event triggers an alert, it will signal to the CCTV systems engineering in order to provide real-time video of the event field. This also makes use of digital video back to event occurs before the picture becomes possible, and find the means to cause the alert occurs.

Similarly, intrusion detection, including perimeter detection and shape detection, it is easily integrated into most security systems.

These systems can also be a lot of feedback produced by CCTV system special alerts. Physical and logical security integration that is now often said of 「introduction fusion 」, is a very hot new topic. Just as people expected, this level of integration is very important to challenge, in which the human factor plays (different System Manager may not be able to communicate with each other).

Many commercial facilities are installed a considerable number of systems beyond the security areas, such as anti-health, building automation, escape, and other systems.

Integration of these systems have great benefits. For example, if there is smoke, not only have to ring the alarm and notification management, ventilation pipes to rack up proper grooming smoke. Lighting and heating equipment must be properly controlled in order to help field personnel from danger area.
