Access Control Prosperity Capital Biometrics Intervention

In recent years, driven by the rapid development of the economic environment and the country's favorable policies, the scale of China's security products market has continued to expand and grow rapidly. Among them, the access control products have seen an expansive development, and the domestic access control market is now "One hundred schools of thought contend" the situation. Among them, the application of biometrics in the industry has opened the way for access control market diversification. Looking ahead, the access control technology will be further improved and the industry will be developed.

Strong demand for access control market, involving capital intervention

Statistics show that since 2000, Beijing has invested a total of 5.174 billion yuan in the safety and security industry, of which the initial investment is about 3.165 billion yuan, and the reconstruction and expansion investment is about 651 million yuan. The investment for the access control system was about 414 million yuan, and the investment for parking management was 162 million yuan.

The growth of market demand is accompanied by the involvement of a large amount of capital. The direct role of these capital interventions is to make the security industry chain more dynamic than ever before, from raw material suppliers, product manufacturers, distributors, and engineering companies to system maintenance companies. With great development, there has been an increase in the scale of the overall industry investment. The intervention of capital has accelerated the survival of the fittest and indirectly improved the quality of all aspects of the industry chain. The expansion of the industrial chain and the improvement of its quality will in turn stimulate the sound development of the industry.

Traditional means of personal identification can no longer fully meet the needs of modern social economic activities and social security. From the point of eliminating human insecurity, only identification vouchers that cannot easily be replaced by others, copied, or even their own cannot be transferred. Therefore, from the comprehensive comparison of ease of use, security, maturity and cost, with the continuous advancement of IT (information technology), and with the continuous maturity of identification technology, with the rapid development of computer technology, access control technology has developed rapidly. , is developing with the astonishing speed from the traditional keyboard, the magnetic card type to the proximity card, the intelligent card and the multi-purpose card direction.

Access control systems can even use satellite networks to provide global access control services. From the rapid growth of the access control system, it can be seen that the market has gradually matured, and the alarm and monitoring products in the past have been dominating the world. The predictions recently implemented by experts show that the market for sensor-based access control systems is increasing each year. An amazing 300% increase in speed.

Introduction of biometrics to help diversify development

In recent years, biometrics has only become a hot area in the access control market. From the earliest fingerprint identification to face recognition to palm vein recognition, biometrics has ushered in a brand new market in a few short years. .

From the application around us, we can see that the "rarity" fingerprint identification device has long been nothing new, and fingerprint identification has inadvertently entered too many enterprises. Extensive applications have demonstrated the user market's recognition of fingerprinting as a biometric technology. In addition, with the repeated application of biometric identification technology in the past two years, fingerprint recognition is ushering in more in-depth development. On the surface, the emergence of this technology helps to enhance the stability of the identification process, convenience, etc. . But in the long run, it means that on the road to fingerprinting, a more sustainable development has been found. This will increase the performance, but also set a more in-depth direction for the development of biometrics. Therefore, next year's biometric market is destined to continue to flourish.

Access control equipment has always existed independently as a gate security management function. However, with the integration of integration and integration concepts in recent years, diversification has become one of the major development directions of the access control market.

In the development of the access control system in these two years, the development and introduction of functions has become a means for manufacturers to build core competitiveness. Especially in the current situation where the overall function of the access control equipment tends to be balanced, the introduction of some detailed functions has become the "second battlefield" developed by the manufacturers. Although as a new product development model, many companies in the process of diversification have begun to “review” the embarrassment of being a “newcomer”. However, judging from the development trend of world products, this transition is undoubtedly an irreversible stage in the development process.

Access Control System Development Trends: Technology Upgrades Cannot Be Waited

The detourization process from the traditional access control can reflect some future trends.

First, the robustness of reader technology is constantly improving. Since tape swiping is bound to cause wear, non-contact technology can avoid this problem. The life of the card is limited due to the material of the card being worn and worn out, or needing to be renewed or reissued. With the advancement of technology, new passes will be biometrics, which will solve the problem of card life. When the existing limitations of some old systems are eliminated, the function of biometric systems will inevitably increase. In order to create this degeneration, biometric identification must be integrated into the access control system.

The second trend of access control development is the decentralized control function. In view of locks and keys, control is given to the authorizer. Once the system is electronic, its control will also be distributed from the central security control system to the "smart" controller through a simple reader interface. This trend has been extended by further embedding control functions in card readers and even in cards. Smart cards are of great significance to the access control industry. They can store large amounts of data, can be read and updated, can provide advanced encryption and passwords to protect the stored data, and can also provide processing power through computational programs.

There may be a new specification for the access control system - storing biometric and access control data in the card and encrypting it so that only the local reader can use the data. Biometrics will be used to interpret the data in Cary and get permission to pass it. The reader must connect to the authorization database in some way and update the card's information as needed. Data communications have evolved from scratch, from mechanical lock systems to wired systems using proprietary protocols to the use of network standard communication protocol systems. The greater the development of data communications, the less reliance on the equipment connection cable. Wireless communications are becoming more and more popular and network services will become the cornerstone of future database dissemination information systems.
