Recognition Systems, represented in SA by NamITech, brings security associated with biometric technology to most access control applications The Handkey II utilises field-proven hand geometry technology that maps and verifies the size and shape of a person`s hand in less than one second.
Andrew James, Sales Executive at NamITech, says: "The benefits of biometric security were once reserved for high-security applications, but the HandKey II changes that. Tens of thousands of HandKeys are already installed in applications that range from health clubs and day care centres to laboratories and prisons. Its ease of use and reliability have made the HandKey II the biometric standard for the access control industry. The lower cost of the HandKey II makes the choice even easier.
Real security at a reasonable price
Adds James: "The HandKey II provides companies with an access control device that can be integrated into existing access systems. The product is seen as complementary to technologies that make use of cards as the access token, and can be used to control areas that require additional levels of security, such as `dual access`. The application delivers enormous value to organisations that need to provide control points over high volumes of walk-through traffic, such as the mining industry and for monitoring time and attendance in the manufacturing industry."
Door control and monitoring
The Handkey II`s design provides the ultimate in system reliability. Each HandKey II is a complete door controller providing door lock operation, request for exit, and alarm monitoring. All information including biometric data and decision-making capability resides locally. This ensures that doors are secure and will continue to operate properly even if all communications to the main access control computer are lost. The application is particularly suited to securing environments requiring high access control, including file server rooms.
Standalone or fully integrated
Systems can be as simple as one unit on the computer room door to hundreds of units networked together. The HandKey II`s card reader emulation mode makes adding it to existing access control systems fast and easy. A variety of communication options, including dial-up modems and Ethernet, allows one to design a system that is right for the application at hand.
In a network, RSI`s Handnet for windows software links a virtually unlimited number of HandKey units to an integrated door access control system. All alarms and transactions report back in real time to the central computer, making door and alarm monitoring easy and efficient. Activity, user and system reports can be easily integrated.
Says James: "The central computer handles all hand template management automatically, allowing supervised enrolment at any reader and system wide deletions. An optional internal modem lets you include remote site operations, while conventional Ethernet communication is also available."
The no compromise security solution is at hand:
* Provides REAL security.
* Saves money over card-based systems.
* Fast and easy to use.
* Increases convenience by eliminating cards.
* Integrates into existing systems.
* Field proven reliable technology.
