What are the advantages of access control devices and solutions from Datafox?

Datafox ZK: Everything securely in view!

With our hardware for access control, you no longer have security-endangering and costly key management . With Datafox access control devices, you securely protect rooms and buildings from unauthorized access and can see in real time who is currently in the protected area.

Most of Datafox's access control devices are multifunctional: in addition to classic access control, they also simultaneously offer the options of personnel time recording, machine data collection and store floor data collection. 

Datafox terminals and devices for access control are scalable and optimally cover all application scenarios - from small systems to large-scale systems. Added to this is the wide range of functions offered by our ZK hardware:

  • Simple control of an access point up to high security requirements.
  • Cross-system functions through the integration of Datafox ZK in terminals, industrial PCs, etc.
  • Easy connection of Datafox hardware to any software system
  • Web capability of the ZK devices thanks to communication via http(s)
  • Customizable acquisition and operating devices (according to customer requirements)
Which reading methods do Datafox Devices support for access control?

Datafox reading methods for access control

Our devices for electronic access control support different reading methods (type of data acquisition). Basically, four reading methods are distinguished:

- RFID transponder (RFID chip) reading methods
- Biometric reading methods (fingerprint)
- Magnetic card reading method

In addition to the RFID reader, magnetic card reader or fingerprint scanner, Datafox access control devices also have a keypad to enter a PIN code, which then opens the door or sets the machine in operation.

Access control with RFID reading

Datafox access control devices work with RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification), among others.

In access control devices with RFID reading method, an RFID chip in the form of a card or key fob is held contactlessly against the access control (ACC) reader. If access authorization is detected, the electric door opener is activated.
A distinction is made between pure access control readers, which pass on information to a PC or a Datafox access master for further processing, and complex devices such as access terminals, equipped with several functions such as personnel time recording and production data acquisition. These devices usually have several integrated readers (RFID, magnetic card and biometrics).

Advantages of access control with RFID transponders

  • Secure access authorization by RFID chip
  • Lost chips can be blocked within seconds using a delete card
  • Low follow-up costs in case of chip loss - only the lost chip has to be has to be replaced.
  • Easy installation & use
  • Robust, weatherproof technology suitable for outdoor and indoor use
  • Can be networked as access control systems for multiple locations

Access control with fingerprint

Datafox offers numerous devices with fingerprint access control. These are devices with multi-reading methods, which in addition to the fingerprint reader also have an RFID transponder reader integrated and have a USB port or RS232 port for an external magnetic card reader.

Access control with the help of biometric data (fingerprint) is mainly used in highly sensitive areas such as government buildings or high security areas (prisons, laboratories, research facilities, etc.). However, biometric access control can also be used in other situations such as leisure facilities - to speed up admission control and to prevent unauthorized use of season tickets, for example.

Access control with magnetic cards

Magnetic cards are still very popular as a means of identification for access control, e.g. in hotels. The magnetic stripe card is simply pulled through the card reader at the door. The sensor in the card reader sends the data to the control center and, if authorized, the door opener is activated.

Is it possible to combine access control and other functions?

Datafox Devices: Real all-rounders!

Yes - most of Datafox's access control devices are multifunctional: In addition to access control, they also offer the possibilities of personnel time recording, machine data collection and store floor data collection at the same time. If you have any questions about this, our competent sales team will be happy to help.

How do I decide on a reading method for access control?

Reading methods - the right way to decide!

In order to decide on a reading method, it is necessary to define the security requirements for access control beforehand. To control access authorization in high-security areas such as research laboratories or prisons, for example, access control using biometric data is recommended. A human fingerprint, for example, is always unique and cannot be copied. Misuse is therefore impossible.

Installation

How can Datafox devices for access control be installed?

How can Datafox devices for access control be installed?

Our hardware for access control is characterized by a practical and simple installation.

What do I have to pay attention to when installing the time recording terminal?

What do I have to pay attention to when installing the time recording terminal?

Our ZK terminals and devices offer various communication options. When ordering, you decide which options your device will be equipped with. To ensure that all data is transmitted reliably and securely, the respective communication interface must be set and connected during installation. The following overview shows you what you need for data transfer of the respective communication type:

  • USB: a standard USB-A to USB-Micro cable 
  • RS485: a transmission line according to the EIA-485 standard
  • GPRS: an interference-free mobile radio connection
  • WLAN: an interference-free radio channel to an access point (802.11 b/g) within range
  • TCP/IP: min. one standard Ethernet cable, no "cross over"
  • http (Internet connection) via LAN: TCP/IP connection with free Internet access

For further information, please refer to the manual of your access control hardware.
