Old Bridge, NJ | employee badge door locks
My company is merging and moving to a new location. I am looking into employee badges for door access and to record the access. Does anyone have any info on this stuff?
thanks,

I have worked a two places that use products from:
»www.hidglobal.com/
All of the badge accessing is recorded and fully programmable by user and date/time access. Lost cards can be diactivated.

What level of security do you require? And what is the particular purpose (besides the obvious)? |

I think you should consider automatic doors with a well-placed camera that allow remote override (to watch people run into them!) Ooo yea.

We need all employee access to outside doors and specialize access to a few rooms.

HID RFID is 'standard' RFID badge material. There are many different manufacturers of HID compatible equipment.
The stuff can get expensive fast. Networked readers can run $1,000 per door, not to mention the hardware required to actually spring the locks.
We have a system from Isonas that is compatible with our building HID entry system.

Re: employee badge door locks
We have HID proximity cards here. I think they work at 150 MHz.
The exterior doors and parking lot gates just have a card reader. Interior doors have an integrated reader/keypad which requires entering a PIN. The advantage of this system (to the user) is that the same PIN works for all areas for which you have access; no need to memorize multiple combinations (as with cypher locks). |

| said by JoeG4  :1000 bucks per door?! geez "Can Run". You can do cheaper, for example we're using the Isonas PoE enabled RFID + Keypads. Actually I think they were closer to $800, but we also got some of the mounting hardware and some additional cables, plus the cost of the PoE switching is factored in.
You can get simpler direct-wired systems for cheaper. |

I've use systems by Simplex/Grinnell using C Cure software. Seems more than adaquate. Records all the accesses granted, denied, has ability to search to see who swiped when and where. Shows in real time who is swiping on what door along with their photo. Does a bunch of stuff.
As far as badges go, Prox cards seem to be the most convenient and they don't wear out like the badges that you have to physically swipe through a reader.

| said by Bobcat :I suspect that proximity cards are more secure, too. Not by much. They are simply a different "media".
A determined and technically competent attacker familiar with the system can compromise it with relative ease.
The reality is that most egregious security breaches occur with inside assistance. Robust security of high-value assets is best accomplished by a multi-layer approach, including physical, technical and HUMINT.
They are probably sufficient for the intended purposes and requirements of brianjmc1971 , however.

We have HID here in our office. They work well, except for the cards die after about 3 months if you keep them in your wallet. After being here over 10 years, I've easily replaced mine 30 times. |

The nice thing about these is you just have to hold it near the reader for a sec. I hate those cards because you A: have to rotate & align your card to the slot, and B: swipe you card through the slot, which takes ALOT more time. |

You put your ID badge near it, it beeps, you enter your PIN, and the door unlocks. |
