TSSI shows wireless biometridc device
As biomtrci access control devices proliferate, they also reach placeds where cabling is not always an noption; TSSI has a solution
TSSI Systems today unveiled the RC-04i, an Ethernet based two-reader door controller. The solution will be demonstrated at this year’s IFSEC, and it will enable installers to implement biometric security into the end users existing enGuardPro access control infrastructures without having to hardwire cabling into walls.
The RC-04i is a TCP/IP enabled device, which allows businesses to incorporate different reader technologies, including biometrics. The RC-04i utilizes the existing LAN/WAN infrastructure to communicate events back to the administrators PC. The solution is especially attractive where structured cabling between a controller and PC is not possible. A practical solution for a gatehouse at the end of a driveway that needs to communicate to a PC.
The necessity for tighter access control security is underestimated according to the findings of a recent study by TSSI. Ten percent of responders had experienced misused ID and access control systems by individuals impersonating someone else, or had assisted someone else to do so. A further 35 per cent said they would think nothing of counteracting their workplace security by lending or borrowing a work pass if they or a colleague had forgotten theirs. These figures are expected to decrease as biometric security gains ubiquity.
Stewart Hefferman, COO, TSSI said that “It is clear that either through deliberate dishonesty, or in a misguided effort to be helpful to colleagues, end-users are regularly overriding access control systems. It is essential that companies implement systems to close these security weaknesses. Biometric security is often associated with expensive MI5 style highly confidential applications or high end devices but is now affordable enough for British businesses to look towards biometrics to stamp out such security breaches.”
