April 2016 by Coline Magne
Feature Summary:
Organizations are shifting to biometric technology for user identification and verification due to many security and cost advantages as compared to the traditional RFID solutions. However, many times they hesitate to change their backend like Access Control panel and software because of the product and installation costs to be incurred anew.
Traditional Access Control panel use Wiegand protocol to communicate with RFID card reader. A complete change in the existing setup is required to shift from RFID to biometrics. Matrix identified this challenge and delivered a solution that replaces the RFID reader. Matrix integrated COSEC biometric reader with existing third party panel, which enables access through user credentials such as finger or palm using the Wiegand interface. Thus, enterprises can conveniently shift to Matrix biometric readers without having to change the existing set up.
Feature Description:
Process:
– The task of adding/deleting/editing users along with enrolment of finger/palm templates is done from the COSEC server.
– On showing user finger/palm to COSEC Reader, the reader will send card id (CSN Number) to the panel on Wiegand interface.
– User access allowed/denied response will be sent to the reader & displayed accordingly.
– Door locks, exit switch, etc. can be operated through the third party panel.
Thus, Matrix intelligently satisfies the need of customers using biometric credential for access, along with existing third party set-up.
