Development of access control system

The origin of access control can be traced back to the primitive society.

As early as in the primitive society, in order to protect their property from other people’s invasion, people began to lock the door with bars or wooden sticks, and had the consciousness of guarding the house. This is the original concept of human access control.

Later, with the gradual development of society, locks were invented.

The earliest locks appeared before private ownership. At that time, locks were just simple fasteners with poor safety. It was not until the invention of the marble mechanical lock in modern times that it could be called the lock in the modern sense.

Although the emergence of mechanical lock greatly improves the security of access control, the traditional door lock is only a simple mechanical device. No matter how complex its structure is, a key that can be configured everywhere in the street can easily open it without leaving any trace.
Therefore, in order to make up for these shortcomings, the magnetic card access control system was made.

Although the performance of magnetic card access control system is better than that of mechanical lock, the security and reliability of this kind of magnetic card access control system are greatly limited because of the small amount of information stored in the magnetic card and the easy destruction of the card reading port of the card reader.

With the development of computer technology in recent years, especially the improvement of smart IC card application technology, smart IC card access control system gradually comes into people’s sight, and is valued and used by people.

Nowadays, IC card access control system has been applied in various districts of the city, it has become an integral part of modern intelligent life.

IC card access control system has the advantage of centralized control of all access control in an area. The corresponding smart IC card becomes a special key to control the door lock switch after authorization. The combination of card and computer constitutes a modern access control system.

The whole IC card access control system is generally composed of management computer, card issuing machine, controller, card reader, electromagnetic lock, printer, switch and wiring system.

Among them, the access controller controls the electromagnetic lock to open and close the door, and the access card reader is the main body of card recognition. They are the two most important devices in the whole system, and play the important role of control and recognition in the system. The quality of an access control system can be seen from its controller and card reader.

Usually, the controller and card reader in an access control system are independent products, but there is an exception – all in one access control machine. We usually call security turnstile gate. You can integrated card reader or biometric recognition equipment on security turnstile gate. Mairsturnstile as a professional turnstile gate suppliers, offer types of security turnstile gate.

Access control turnstile gate machine is a kind of access control machine which integrates access controller and access card reader. It can judge, control and identify in the access control system at the same time. If you need any types of security turnstiles, please contact Mairsturnstile.

Compared with the access control system with the separation of the controller and the reader, the access control turnstile gate system with the all-in-one access control machine will not have any difference in use. Moreover, because some steps of production and installation are omitted, the access control system with the all-in-one access control machine is usually cheaper and more convenient to install than the access control system with the separation of the controller and the reader. This is also the reason why the all-in-one access control turnstile door machine is widely used in the market.

A good all-in-one access control turnstile gate machine can perfectly replace the two products of access controller and access card reader.

In general, the access control turnstile gate system is simple to install, easy to use, easy to manage, and can be perfectly competent for the access control system work in places with low security level requirements, such as residential areas, hotels, companies and enterprises. However, because the all-in-one machine itself is easy to be damaged, if it is to be used in places with high security level requirements, such as government departments, prisons, banks and other places, it is recommended to use it Tiger company independent research and development of other access control system products.
