    Abstract:

    The basics of alarm/access control systems include identification (ID) devices. Keypads can be simple or complex, the most advanced of which scrambles the numbers for each use and limits the view of adjacent users. The card reader types include magnetic stripe, Wiegand, passive and active proximity, and smart cards. Many organizations use multi-technology cards that allow the user to access various facilities, each of which may require a different card technology. Access cards are commonly used with photo ID systems such that the access card and ID together form the credential. Photo ID cards help identify the users by sight, showing what areas they have access to and displaying their photo, name, and department. Other devices include Locks, door position switches, and request to exit devices. Common Electrified Lock types include Electrified strikes, Electrified mortise Locks, magnetic Locks, Electrified panic hardware, and specialty Locks. The door and gate position switches can be either surface mounted or concealed.
