Article Guide to Business Access Control Systems in NZ – NZTeco

At the core of access control security lie secure tag/swipe/fob or card systems along with keypad readers. These systems offer a straightforward way to manage entry rights, merging convenience with robust security measures. Staff and visitors can gain entry by using a secure tag or entering a unique code, effectively preventing unauthorised access. ZKTeco’s readers and keypad systems stand out for their ability to streamline access management and enhance security measures, making them an excellent choice for businesses of all sizes.

In line with the shift towards digital, modern access control solutions now incorporate mobile app integration along with QR codes/barcodes. This technology transforms smartphones into secure keys, enabling staff and guests to simply hold up their phones for the reader to scan a QR code or barcode to gain entry. This method provides a flexible and secure approach to visitor management, catering to the needs of today’s dynamic business environments. ZKTeco’s innovative use of these technologies offers businesses solutions that are both cutting-edge and user-friendly.

Biometric systems represent the forefront of access control technology, utilising unique physical identifiers such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or palm prints to afford the highest level of security. Identity theft through biometric systems is virtually impossible. These systems employ specialised algorithms to convert and encrypt the biometric image into a digital code that cannot be reverse-engineered. Moreover, biometric solutions offer significant cost savings by eliminating the need to maintain an inventory of physical tags/fobs/cards, which need to be replaced periodically. ZKTeco’s biometric solutions are designed with safety and convenience in mind, providing businesses with a secure and efficient way to manage access.

UHF technology allows for the identification and tracking of tags over distances of several meters, making it an ideal solution for applications where speed and efficiency are critical.

• Vehicle Access Control: UHF systems can manage vehicle entry and exit in parking lots or secured areas without requiring the vehicle to stop, enhancing throughput and security at entry points.
• Inventory and Asset Tracking: In warehousing and logistics, UHF tags attached to assets or inventory items can be tracked in real-time, providing accurate inventory counts and reducing the likelihood of asset misplacement.
• Personnel Tracking: UHF technology can be used to monitor staff movements, enhancing safety by ensuring that personnel are in safe zones and facilitating efficient evacuations if necessary.
• Access Control in High Traffic Areas: Airports, train stations, and stadiums can benefit from UHF technology by enabling swift and seamless access control without causing bottlenecks.

ZKTeco’s UHF readers integrate seamlessly with other business access control systems, offering a versatile solution that can be tailored to a wide range of security needs.

Electronic door locks are a crucial component of a comprehensive access control system. They offer enhanced security compared to traditional locks and can be operated in various ways, including keypads, RFID readers, biometric scanners, and mobile apps. ZKTeco’s electronic locks are known for their robust integration capabilities with access control systems, allowing for real-time management of access.

Control panels serve as the operational heart of an access control system, coordinating the communication between the system’s various elements, such as door locks, keypad readers, and biometric scanners. These panels manage who has access to what areas and when, providing a centralized platform for comprehensive security management. ZKTeco’s control panels are designed for advanced security features, including multi-door control and real-time monitoring. Access control systems can be divided into standalone biometric systems with basic functions and more complex control panel-type solutions that allow for integration and expansion through connection to slave readers.
