Access Control Systems provide for the automated capabilities for access into buildings or facilities and provide for the control of building entry points, parking garages, storage rooms, and elevator access. All entry attempts are logged and reports are generated showing who went where and when they were identified. This can be accomplished with a free standing or fully computerized system, that is capable of functioning on a network in most cases and can be used on local or wide area networks. This provides the management with the opportunity to visualize the records for access to their facilities. |

Biometric Systems provide for the use of fingerprints, handprints, retina scans and facial recognition, where the various physiological methods are reduced to digitized images that are virtually impossible to reproduce. They can and are most often used in areas requiring a higher level of security. In conjunction with security systems they are used as a cost effective method of authenticating the individuals requiring access to the protected areas or systems. It has become a cost effective method of working without the use of identification tags or badges. Biometrics uses your physical characteristics to determine or confirm your identity, as registered in the systems. |

Fencing/ Gates/Barriers |
|
Site Surveys and Security Analysis are the beginning of any perimeter protection of a facility or site. It is the first line of defense and therefore must be constructed to fulfill the requirements, whether it is a physical or virtual defense is the basis of the survey process. Barriers, fencing and gates locate and identify the perimeter, this provides a low level of denial of access begin by providing for the placement of signage for entrance or reference to the physical intrusion along with penalties. |

ATCI designs and installs all types of barriers from common Chain Link to High Security Fence and Gate Systems, that can include Sensor Systems for Intrusion Alarms, and high Security Gate Operators for high speed performance, as well as Crash Barrier Gates, Personnel Gates/Entrances, Portal Entrances for the Detection of Identifiable Threats, such as Biological, Chemical, Explosives, Metal and Radioactive Materials. ATCI has partnerships with several suppliers of these technologies.

Multi-tasking Cards and Readers |
Many organizations are looking into the methodology of utilizing multi-tasking cards and readers to accomplish multiple functionalities on a single system, instead of using multiple systems. For example, I can create an Access Control system, that utilizes Bio-metrics, Proximity, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and Magnetic Stripe, then I can accomplish multiple tasks with the single system. This can be accomplished with a variety of readers and a multi-technology card, as well as a multi-technology reader, such as Privaris, who has built in functionality for multi-technologies to meet the criteria of some Government issues, this can include authentication capabilities. That means, it can authenticate the user of the card using biometrics for the authentication, if you are not the rightful user of the card, it will not grant access.
This is a little more expensive to implement; but it has the ability to extend the tasking to other areas, which can provide for authentication, asset identification and tracking , as well as the traditional security issues.

Smart Cards have an embedded microprocessor chip in the card, which will provide for data to be stored on the card. This data can be accessed by the various readers, which will authenticate the card and the user. Each card can provide security and information stored on the device. Smart cards are typically used in applications such as government ID, computer security systems, credit cards, electronic cash, banking, and many others providing the ability to track any information provided or requested on each card.
