Access Control Systems
Who should be able to access which area, and when?
Access control starts with the organisation’s access requirements, not the choice of equipment. Narstek provides design, installation, commissioning and service for card-operated doors, turnstiles and car park barriers.
Requirements and access scenarios
Staff, visitor and vehicle access are considered separately. The system architecture is planned according to the number of doors, user capacity, time periods and permission groups.
Door and reader applications
Card readers, control units, locks and exit equipment are assessed according to the physical characteristics of each door. Power infrastructure and cabling are arranged as part of the installation scope.
Turnstiles and vehicle access
Turnstiles, barriers, card-based vehicle access and licence plate recognition are considered in light of site conditions. Access security and day-to-day use are assessed together.
Software, permissions and maintenance
User groups and access times are defined; processes for lost cards, changes to permissions and faults are planned. Readers, control units and connections are checked.
Assess access control in the context of building operations
The type of door lock, traffic levels and emergency exit function affect system decisions. Required interactions with the fire alarm infrastructure are assessed as part of the project; biometric methods are considered according to requirements and feasibility.
About Access Control Systems
Can access be revoked if a user loses their card?
Cards can be disabled on systems that support central management. The process depends on the selected control unit and software.
Can multiple buildings be managed as a single system?
Central management can be planned if the network connection, software licence and control units allow it. Location and connectivity requirements are assessed before a quote is prepared.
Can an existing turnstile or barrier be retained?
The device’s mechanical condition, control interfaces and compatibility with the new system are assessed. Retaining suitable components can be considered as part of the project.
