To handle building entry and exit security, the university fitted turnstiles, internal and external doors with the new system. “We fitted a range of RFID products from SALTO's networked electronic lock range including electronic handle sets in a smart and practical stainless steel finish, as well as double sided units, gateways, controllers, readers and keypads.” commented, Stephen Foley, Manager at Doorware.
“The access control systems smart ID cards build up 'on-card' audit trails giving the university access control and the ability to see who accessed what door, where and when,” said Foley. “Cards can be programmed to allow access to specific rooms or areas within the library for selected periods only, with the doors auto locking at pre-specified times if required.” In addition, if card security is breached due to loss or theft, it can be instantly deleted without the need of rekeying or changing locks, which saves the university time and money.
