A wet contact is typically used for access and power control of hardware along the same circuit, while a dry contact is often used for interfacing with other power control systems. Background Electronic door locks require a power supply to operate.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/access-control-components/</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Oct 2023 17:41:41 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/access-control-components/</guid><description>By Dimi Sandu, Head of Solutions Engineering (EMEA) When deploying access control, there are several additional components you need to consider aside from the access controller (the brains of the system). If they are missing or not in good working condition, it could result in a significant increase in the cost of the overall project. Besides the controller, an access control system has two mandatory components (lock and reader) and two optional components (DPI and REX).</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/total-cost-of-ownership-tco-and-maintenance/</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2020 21:11:33 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/total-cost-of-ownership-tco-and-maintenance/</guid><description>What is Access Control TCO? When it comes to building access control systems, a lot goes into the purchase decision. Central to these considerations is total cost of ownership (TCO), which security and information technology (IT) decision makers use to compare and evaluate solutions. Both on-premise and cloud-based access systems have upfront and ongoing costs—some straightforward, others more unpredictable—that contribute to TCO. A brief introduction to Door Access Systems and TCO TCO is a metric that organizations use to evaluate and compare solutions when looking to deploy, replace, upgrade, or augment their door access systems.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/cloud-based-access-control-software-solutions/</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2020 01:27:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/cloud-based-access-control-software-solutions/</guid><description>What is Cloud-Based Access Control Software? Ask any IT, security, or operations professional and you’ll hear a common refrain: integrating disparate access control and video security systems under a central management platform is a must. Unfortunately, most traditional systems require separate management systems, which can make incident response, lockdowns, and investigation more cost- and resource-intensive. Access control software “brings it all together,” integrating all components of access control and video security into a single admin experience.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/secure-entry-solutions/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2020 06:08:31 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/secure-entry-solutions/</guid><description>Securing Your Access Control Door Entry System Secure door entry is a core part of access control systems. Today, there are a variety of solutions for door access security, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. What follows is a detailed overview of the various methods for securing door entry. Use this guide to evaluate the most secure, cost-efficient solution for your own organization. On its surface, door security might seem straightforward.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/rfid-vs-nfc-access-control-guide/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2020 05:52:47 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/rfid-vs-nfc-access-control-guide/</guid><description>What is RFID and NFC Access Control? In the context of door access control, radio frequency identification, or RFID, technology is used to enable the exchange of data between key cards and readers. Ideal for use in access control systems, RFID cards have a uniquely identifiable tag that can be detected by a reader up to a few feet away. Near field communication, or NFC, technology is very similar to RFID, albeit more modern.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/integrated-solutions/</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Sep 2020 08:04:45 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/integrated-solutions/</guid><description>What is an Integrated Physical Security System? The methods for securing access to digital and physical environments continue to evolve. Two traditionally distinct areas of physical security—door access and video surveillance—are not immune. They’re not only being moved away from strictly on-premise solutions, but are now being integrated to provide a modernized, scalable, and highly secure approach to safeguarding entryways. Where Are Integrated Access and Video Surveillance Systems Used? Integrated access and video surveillance are common in a variety of familiar settings, large and small.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/door-access-systems/</guid><description>What is a Door Access System? Most modern buildings have at least one point of entry and exit, as well as a way to gate physical access to doorways. Whether it’s lock and key or a more sophisticated mode of verification, physical access control is a critical component of securing your facilities and protecting your assets. From a high level, access control systems consist of two key parts: authentication and authorization.</description></item></channel></rss>
