Card Reader
Assign a card and the system can do the rest. Secom systems can be programmed to recognize a card and control a cardholder's access. From entry into and exit out of the parking structure, through building and elevator, to suite accessibility, one card can do it all. If you have tenants who arrive early, their card can be used to turn on environmental devices (such as lights or air conditioning). The system keeps track of who is in the building, and when they are there.
Unique to Secom is the ability to "link" cards into the system. When you link the card, the system reads the internal number and associates it with a card number you assign. Card files are easily maintained. Lost cards can be replaced using the same external number, automatically de-linking the old, lost card from the active file.
All Secom cards, whether insertion, proximity or AVI can be printed with your artwork or even used as photo ID.
All Secom readers are two stage devices, with the reader connected to a terminal control unit located in the secure space or gate.
