Access Control Systems

Access Control Systems (ACS) are electronic security solutions that regulate who can enter or exit a facility, area or an asset using various authentication methods: Facial, Biometric (Thumb & Palm (Vein)), Access Cards, Pin, QR Code and Mobile ID’s. Access Control Systems ensure that only authorized individuals gain access, while all activities are logged and monitored centrally.

Security requirements vary across organizations, but the core objective remains consistent: protecting people, assets, and continuity of operations. At PROTEXA, we design access control solutions that are risk-driven, compliant and scalable, engineered to address evolving security challenges.

Access control systems regulate movement, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain operational integrity in environments with high occupancy and sensitive assets. Through role-based access policies, real-time monitoring and centralized control, only authorized individuals gain access to designated areas at the right time.

The primary objectives are to enhance safety, protect critical infrastructure and information and enable efficient yet secure movement of personnel and visitors. These systems integrate seamlessly with fire alarms, CCTV, elevators, public address and building management systems, ensuring coordinated operation during normal and emergency conditions. During emergencies, systems transition to fail-safe modes, enabling safe evacuation without compromising security.

Beyond physical security, access control also supports compliance, audit readiness, and operational transparency. Event logs and access reports aid investigations and regulatory adherence, helping organizations reduce risk, prevent incidents, and maintain uninterrupted operations.

Door Access Control Systems (DACS) regulate and monitor entry and exit across single or multiple doors, ensuring access only to authorized individuals. DACS supports multiple authentication technologies including RFID and smart cards, biometrics (fingerprint, face, palm), PINs, QR codes and mobile-based credentials.

DACS systems use intelligent door controllers integrated with electromagnetic locks, electric strikes and door sensors, and can be deployed as standalone or networked solutions with centralized monitoring and real-time event logging. Key value additions include enhanced security, role-based access, time scheduling and audit trails.

Seamless integration with fire alarms, CCTV, visitor management, elevators and BMS ensures coordinated operation, making them ideal for offices, IT facilities, data centers, hospitals, airports and other secure environments.

Turnstile Access Control Systems are controlled pedestrian entry solutions designed to regulate and monitor high-footfall movement, ensuring that only authorized individuals can pass through designated entry and exit points. These systems support multiple authentication technologies including RFID and smart cards, biometrics, QR codes, mobile credentials and visitor passes, enabling secure and efficient access management.

Turnstiles are available in various types such as tripod turnstiles, flap barriers, swing gates, and speed gates, suitable for different security and throughput requirements. Integrated with access controllers, safety sensors and anti-tailgating mechanisms, they ensure secure, one-person-at-a-time passage. Key value additions include controlled crowd flow, improved security, attendance tracking, and detailed audit logs. Turnstiles are ideal for offices, IT campuses, airports, metro stations, stadiums and public infrastructure.

Elevator and Perimeter Access Control Systems are designed to regulate and secure vertical movement within buildings and controlled entry at facility boundaries, ensuring that access is granted only to authorized individuals and vehicles. Like other systems it supports authentication technologies including RFID and smart cards, biometrics, PINs, QR codes, mobile credentials and ANPR for vehicle access, enabling floor-wise, zone-wise and perimeter-level control.

Integrated with lift controllers, access control panels, gates, boom barriers and pedestrian entry points, the systems provide role-based authorization, time scheduling and real-time monitoring. Key value additions include enhanced security for sensitive floors and perimeters, controlled movement, audit trails and improved operational efficiency. These solutions ideal for commercial buildings, data centers, hospitals, campuses, industrial facilities, airports and other high-security environments.
