With the development of inductive technology and biometrics technology, access control system have a great development in diversity product form and application model. From inductive access control system, biometrics access control system to mobile access control system, they all have their strong point in security, convenience and easy-management. Access control system application field are more and more extensive.

The evolution of access control and human-being’s connection

Compare with the video monitoring, access control system’s product form and technology didn’t change a lot. Although the product and technology has keep update, but the function we used is about 30%. The development and research of a access control product contains many thought of developer and every aspects of design. But except basic function, the other function we used it rarely. So, we hardly to see the creative function of access control product and system. Access control system’s innovation is not in the function, but in human’s connection.

The connection’s change divided into several stage:

Mechanical lock: it is one of the traditional and extensively-used in lock system. Users can use the key to open or close the lock. It is suitable for the function of security only, such as: family, community and small organization, etc. The strong points are low cost and portable installation. But the security has to improve.

Electronic coded lock: input password to control the circuit and chip’s operation, and then control the mechanical switch ‘s close to open or close the lock. The security and performance are stronger than mechanical lock and keyless. But the weakness are high cost, without in and out records and easy to reveal the password.

Card reading access control: identify the limited by card reading or card reading + password. Access control card also divided into two type: connection type and inductive type. Card reading access control system’s application are beyond than door or key management and gradually become a set of access management system. It plays a important role in administrative management, such as time attendance and safe environment,etc.

Biometrics access control: identify by biometrics. There are fingerprint, vein, iris, face identify models. The unique of biometrics makes the security guaranteed. As the human-self password (like fingerprint and iris) to makes the identify process easier. However, due to the diversity of biometrics will impact the accuracy rate of identification.

Intelligent access control: the rise of mobile internet and intelligent household gives the access control system more application mold. Open the door by phone is become a newly way and provide a available method for open the door by remote control and make a appointment of visitor. Intelligent access control is the extension and breakthrough of traditional access control and also the main direction of the next stage access control revolution. The Intelligent access control’s extensive application has gradually become popularize, such as resident center-management, visitor-management valued-added services. It is a new idea of access control system’s development with the impact of internet.

From mechanical lock development to the current intelligent access control system, which has its incomparable advantages and disadvantages. With the different needed of users in the actual application requirements, those several main types of access control system also have their applicable areas of the market. With the sake of security and convenience, hybrid access control system also become a set of common device. Such as attendance, staff management, ladder control for enterprises, it can provide variety of identified ways, such as biometric, card reading and electronic password.

Safety and convenience are two core of access control system

With the impact of the Internet thinking, Internet + access control become a high frequency vocabulary. The main forms are open the door by phone and open the door without card. Intelligent household transfer a phone APP packaged into "with the phone in hand, all will be fine" function. But it is a fake needs in most of the time, the practicality is not strong, and it can cause some secondary problems, such as simplifying security functions. It will gradually reveal their own contradictory attributes

On the one hand, the openness of intelligent access control are expose all device under the network, the rate of break the access control system are improve greatly. Professional access control is the concentration of the control rights. Once the "concentration" has break, the other things are useless. Like the previous LAN stage before, it is hard to break the internal network. but the openness of the Internet platform will enlarge this possible greatly, so the network security is still become a big problem;

On the other hand, it is portable and flexible to open the door by phone, but at the same time, it also means that intelligent access control will thrown away traditional access control. The essence of traditional access control is the movement, the internal structure is the most precious thing of access control. Now, the intelligent access control has a very complex circuit system, but the mechanical structure of the lock has been simplified.

With the impact of the network, the access control market (no matter in civil field or professional field) need to renew the ideas (including the structure, information and control level ) at present. How to find the balance between security and convenience, is a question of access control areas.

Access control is become necessary,the application should be diversitify

It is reported that Korea began to promote the application of the intelligent access control actively in 2013. Until now, most ordinary door lock has been replaced by smart products in Korea, it raise a intelligent transform and accomplish access control and identification authentication. But the access control market share is still a little in current domestic, because potential market of the civil market and home market has not been released yet. With the start of the intelligent household, access control system will become the entrance of household. The promotion of the access control will change intelligence household.

Besides the needed demand, there is also a powerful factors, that is the natural foundation of access control’s users. The users is the most intuitive resources to attract investors at present. It is a common phenomenon that enterprise apply for market with users to attract investment. From the demand perspective, access control market will become a very tight areas in the future.

In order to meet with more application and requirement, access control system has improve its own construction. Regardless of the front-end hardware innovation or the basic of software function in internet, the core of access control is identification. How to make the identification more advanced, it is the question that the technicians are willing to explore. So, in addition to deepen the biometrics, APP related applications, and the new technology we haven’t thought before, the introduction of innovative technology and the integration application also will lead to a diversity of access control’s interactive experience.

There are governments and banks put into use of photon technology derived photon access control. In the 15th international security fair in China, relevant companies have introduced photon card, fingerprint photon card, mobile phone keys and other products in different security levels to aim at security area, group management, large-scale park’s authentication innovative solutions. Intelligent photon technology application has achieved from the identification, access control, door lock, parking brake, and ladder closed-loop control to the consumption of the scene. It covered traditional all-in-one card to achieve different gradient of security permissions settings and management in the same organization with different level.

As the requirement of access control system has increasing, the application of the access control system is become more and more widely. The access control system is not only limited in single access control, but also satisfied with the basic safety management and authority management at the same time. The access control system linkage with other security and automation system, which extended more diversified application. It realize the functional value and the role evolution of mechanization tool to the automation management system.
