Biometric Access Control

At Allegiance Security Integration, we can design and install the perfect biometric access control system to meet your security needs and your budget.

A comprehensive access control solution is the best way to protect your facility, personnel, property, and sensitive information from unauthorized access. While conventional solutions like keycards and passwords offer a reasonable level of security for most institutions, both methods have significant drawbacks. Keycards can easily be lost, borrowed, or stolen—and passwords can be shared or forgotten.

With a biometric access control system, each individual is identified by unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, allowing for an additional level of security or greater convenience for authorized personnel.

At Allegiance Security Integration, we design and install comprehensive electronic access control solutions, including biometric access control systems, for government, military, commercial, and industrial applications. We serve clients in Washington D.C Virginia, Maryland, Texas, and Idaho.

What Biometric Access Control Can Do for Your Business

Biometric access control systems provide a secure way to access restricted areas and important equipment, such as workstations or servers, using an individual profile that is based unique physical characteristics like fingerprints, or in more advanced systems, facial recognition or iris-scans of the eyes.

Because these characteristics are unique to each user and nearly impossible to duplicate or forge, the biometric data can be used as the sole method of access control, or it can be used in conjunction with other access control techniques (such as PINs, passphrases, or keycards) for more robust security.

With a biometric access control solution, your institution can:

• Prevent unauthorized access to secure facilities, areas or equipment
• Grant or revoke access to any area, at any time, even remotely
• Restrict access according to employee status, position or clearance
• Grant limited access to vendors, suppliers, and other third parties
• Track entry and exit times of personnel in each area
• Receive alerts regarding unauthorized access attempts
• Prevent occupants from entering or leaving in an emergency or a security situation
• Generate traffic reports or audit data for security or incident reviews

Benefits of Biometric Access Control

Compared to a standard system, biometric access control can offer several distinct benefits depending on configuration and specific security policies:

• Quick and easy access to secure areas for authorized personnel
• Limited access for visitors and non-authorized personnel
• More convenient access when using biometrics alone
• Greater security when combined with PINs, passwords or keycards

At ASI, we can build and configure a biometric access system according to your specific needs and security requirements. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of biometric access control!

Where Biometric Access Control Can Be Used

Biometric access control can be used throughout your building, or in just a few select locations, depending on your specific requirements. Common installation locations include:

• Main entry doors or turnstiles
• Exterior gates for vehicular access
• Parking garages or ramps
• Exterior doors
• Interior doors for each department, room, or area
• Elevators
• Supply closets or rooms
• Network centers
• Workstation access

Biometric access devices can be combined with card readers, wireless readers, turnstiles, x-ray systems, and other access control or surveillance equipment to satisfy even the most advanced security needs.
