Access Control

Kittle's Lock & Safe Co. offers many access control solutions. What's access control? Access Control systems are electronic locking systems that allow the customer to monitor and maintain complete control over the access of a particular area. These electronic lock systems have varying capabilities. Some of the more useful features include an audit trail of all activity, ability to control access by time or schedule, ability to instantly add or delete users and if desired, the ability to automatically unlock or lock doors on a time schedule. Many advanced features are also available.

Audit Trail Provides recorded, searchable data that tracks card/user or door activity such as: who used the door, the time and date of use, whether access was granted or denied, and the status of the door or system. Reports Relates to the configuration of data from the audit trail stored by certain system events, reporting whether access was granted/denied, time and attendance, and any door violations. Access Levels The combination of a created schedule with selected doors as it applies to a particular user or group of users. This allows individuals or groups to enter/exit different doors at different times compared to another individual or group. Passage Mode Coordinated with scheduling, during certain hours, this feature allows for "open" entry, without identification (for during store hours). Time Zones Provide a created schedule used in conjunction with: access levels, door unlock commands, and input monitoring permitting control of access, events and door monitoring. Holiday Schedules Prevent user access on company holidays (scheduled annual dates). Remote Programming Access Control Software is installed in PC at one location and can control the Door Control Unit that is located at a remote location. All programming and monitoring of access related events are performed via modem or across LAN or other network.

Access Control Systems can use one or more methods of user identification. Systems can be set up to use magnetic strip cards, proximity cards, "smart chip cards" or numeric PIN codes can be entered. In instances where higher security is needed or it is not desirable to carry a card or credential, biometric readers (hand geometry, finger-print, facial point and/or retina scan identification) can be implemented.
