Split machine, networked access control products into mainstream applications

The access control system is divided into one-piece and split-body machines. The controller of the all-in-one machine is integrated with the reader head, which has the characteristics of small size, simple functions, convenient installation, and low cost. At present, it is mainly used in small office places, small and medium-sized enterprises, residential communities and other places. People in the industry generally believe that the access controller is integrated with the card reading head and it is very easy to be trimmed or leaked password information, which is extremely insecure. The reader of the access control split type machine is separated from the controller, and the door opening action is mainly controlled by the controller, which is beneficial to information protection. According to engineering contractors, the access control split machine can be applied in various fields. At present, it is used more often in high-security occasions such as large-scale enterprises, government agencies, and financial institutions. According to this survey, the split machine has occupied most of the market share in the Chinese market.

In the all-in-one access control system, there are two models of stand-alone and networked products, while split-type access control systems are generally networked. The networked access control has the advantage that the independent access control cannot be compared, and can maximize the overall networking function of the system. Therefore, it has gradually become the mainstream product of the market.

At present, the main networking method of the networked access control system is the RS485 bus method. It is understood that the RS485 bus has the advantages of long communication distance, moderate speed, low price, and simple wiring. Therefore, the RS485 bus is widely used in the access control system and even the entire security industry. With the continuous development of the market, the number of access points in many fields is increasing, and some professionals believe that the throughput of the RS485 bus system is limited and the transmission speed is slow. It can no longer meet the requirements of large-scale networking, and it transmits signals through the TCP/IP network. The network will be more convenient. In the next five years, networking with TCP/IP will be the development direction of access control system networking.

Quality and Service - Important Weights for Access Control Product Competition Today, there are many types of access control products on the market, with different functions. Large and small brands also make it difficult to choose. So, what kind of product is the most popular among users or engineers?

At a time when people were buying any product, they were accustomed to first taking the brand as an important reference factor because the brand not only represented high quality but also represented the image of the company. Nowadays, with the increase of access control manufacturers, the scope of selection of project providers and users is expanding, and the laws that take brands as important considerations for purchase have changed a bit. Engineers and users have become more and more rational. They have been able to choose the right product based on their actual needs and economic strength. From the survey data, it is not the brand's louder products that attract more people, nor the more powerful the products represent the superior products. The user or project provider focuses on the following aspects:

1. High stability, high reliability, high stability, high reliability, and high security are the basic characteristics of the access control system. A set of products with stable quality can not only reduce the capital and energy for system maintenance, but also protect users as much as possible. Security. Therefore, 96% of the contractors stated that they will put stability and reliability at the top of the list when purchasing products. In the survey, many engineering firms stated that the functions of the access control products of various manufacturers are not significantly different. These functions can basically meet the needs of users. It is hoped that manufacturers can guarantee the quality of products and minimize the rate of repairs.

2. Perfect after-sales service The service here refers not only to the problem of the product, but also to the maintenance of the manufacturer or the replacement of the goods. In today's increasingly fierce market competition, users value a "continuous service". It includes: merging different functions according to the user's needs in the software, such as for the school's special applications, when the student punches the card, the system can collect related information at the same time, and send the students to school or return information through SMS to notify parents; Provide users with an interface protocol that allows users to carry out secondary product development; provide technical support for product upgrades, etc. If the manufacturer can provide these services, it shows the follow-up R&D capabilities of the manufacturer. Therefore, nearly 81% of the contractors stated that after-sales service is very important when purchasing products.

3、Comprehensive cost-effective "good product is the best product." Although most of the contractors expressed that they would care more about the price of the products when they purchased the access control products, this is not the most important measure, because it is not the more expensive or cheaper the better. The expensive product may be because its output is not high, or the promotion cost is too high; the cheap product may be the manufacturer's one-sided pursuit of low cost, or reduced circuit protection investment, or the use of inferior materials. According to the survey, 73% of the contractors will focus on the overall cost-effectiveness of the product, including product quality, features, prices, and services.

4. Appearance Technology At present, the appearance difference of various access control products on the market is not obvious. According to engineering contractors, users are increasingly looking at the appearance of the product. In particular, some high-end customers, such as banks, commercial office buildings, government agencies and other places, have relatively high requirements for the appearance of access control products. They not only hope that the appearance of the products is more diversified, the operation interface is simpler, and the appearance of the products is expected to have a material appearance. The improvement is more reasonable in design and has a good self-protection function, making the product more robust and durable.

5, more practical, perfect function In addition to considering the above several major factors, many engineering firms also made the following recommendations: At present, the access control system has been more integrated with other systems, so to improve the stability of product system integration It is very necessary; second, hope that manufacturers can develop some scalable products according to the needs of users, such as software can increase product patrol function, alarm function, delay function, etc.; In addition, improve the network function, solve The transmission problem of the network is also a top priority.

It is also known that at present, many access control products are not compatible with each other, which has caused users to upgrade the system or update the product. The engineering firm hopes that the access control products can unify the standards as soon as possible so that each product can achieve mutual compatibility as soon as possible.

It can be seen that the access control system must maintain a growing momentum in the market, and it is necessary to continue to strengthen the training in the aspects of product technology, appearance technology and technical support.
