At Yonkers Tech Inc

we provide all aspects of Access Control systems

Credentials: Physical items (key cards, fobs, biometric data like fingerprints or facial scans) or

digital data (PINs, mobile app authentication) used to verify identity.

​

• Readers/Keypads: Hardware devices that scan or accept credentials for verification.

• Control Panel/Door Controller: The "brain" that processes credential data, verifies validity, and sends authorization signals to locking mechanisms.

• Locking Mechanisms: Physical devices (electronic locks, electromagnetic locks, keyless locks) that engage and disengage to control door access.

• Software/Management Dashboard: An interface for administrators to manage user permissions, access levels, track activity, and generate reports.

• Server: Stores access control system data, permissions, and audit logs. This can be on-premise or cloud-based.

• Request-to-Exit Devices: Devices (motion sensors, push buttons) allowing authorized individuals to exit a controlled area without needing credentials. 

2. Types of access control systems

• Discretionary Access Control (DAC): The resource owner controls who has access. Offers high flexibility but may have security limitations.

• Mandatory Access Control (MAC): Access is determined by a central authority based on security clearances and classifications, offering high security but less flexibility.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access is granted based on the user's role within an organization, simplifying permission management in larger entities.

• Rule-Based Access Control (RuBAC): Access is governed by a set of defined rules, allowing for customized control based on various factors like time and location.

• Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC): Access is granted based on user, resource, and environmental attributes, offering granular control. 

3. Benefits

• Enhanced Security: Restricting entry to unauthorized individuals and monitoring access activity.

• Convenience: Streamlined entry with various credential options (cards, fobs, mobile apps, biometrics) and flexible scheduling features.

• Operational Efficiency: Automated access decisions, reduced reliance on physical security personnel, and streamlined staff management.

• Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements through audit trails, activity logging, and enforcement of security controls.

• Integration with Other Systems: Interacting with other security and building management systems like video surveillance and fire alarms. 

4. Key considerations

• Security Needs: Determine the required level of security based on the building's purpose, assets, and data sensitivity.

• Scalability: Consider how the system can expand or adapt to future needs, especially for growing organizations or multi-site environments.

• Cost: Factors include hardware, software licensing fees, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

• Integration Capabilities: Assess compatibility with existing or planned security systems.

• Building Codes and Regulations: Ensure compliance with local building and fire safety codes, as well as data protection regulations.
