Access control has always been the most professional product in the security system, requiring high integration of hardware and software. It is usually used in extremely important security fields such as finance, security, prisons, and public security. The ordinary people have no concept of access control at all, but in the past ten years, with the commercial application of parking lot, swiping cards, and time attendance access control, access control has quietly entered the civilian market. However, in the face of complex installation systems, control panels, card readers, chassis, power supplies, etc., most consumer groups still feel that they are inherently inadequate in product applications. At this time, a simple access control all-in-one machine appeared. It saved a lot of trouble before and after. It only needs to be connected to the device and it can be put into use immediately, which makes it quickly enter the market. The application of access control began to extend from specialization to commercialized civilian places, such as schools, hospitals, smart buildings...

　　 Access control integrated machine is actually the most complete epitome of professional access control system, integrating the front-end identification device and the back-end control device into one device. Its general function configuration is: with time zone, combination, group, dual/multiple access selection, tamper-proof alarm, alarm output, door sensor input (to judge whether the door is opened illegally and the door is not closed), exit button, doorbell Interface, at least 3A electric lock relay output, liquid crystal display, keyboard input and TCP/IP, RS485, RS232 networking. Generally speaking, a user capacity of more than 500 users (three characteristic points for each user) is required, whether to support the setting of password entry and exit, etc. These functions are general access control requirements. All-in-one machines have certain limitations in the safety of their products because their control part is also together with the front end, and they are more used in commercial civil places.

Of course, in the process of commercial civilianization, some unnecessary functions have been omitted, and some improvements have been made in response to civilian needs. There are three main classification methods for access control integrated machines. One is classified by wiring: wired and wireless access control integrated machines; the second is classified by function: access control integrated machines, attendance and access control integrated machines, property access control integrated machines, and the third is according to identification methods. : Fingerprint access control integrated machine, iris access control integrated machine.

　　 With the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of home safety services, some of our country's access control products have gradually moved from professional to commercial and civilian markets, and the demand has gradually increased. The changes in the market have also led to a new round of trends in the development of access control products, and the access control integrated machine is at the forefront of this change. This is both an opportunity and a challenge. Where does the market push the access control integrated machine market? How should we deal with this change?

　　The impact of commercialized civilian access control demand on the access control integrated machine market

　　 In the process of commercialization of access control, most of the access control products appear in the form of embedded device integration and diversified functions. The access control integrated machine is the product of this process, and how will it change in the face of such a market? Civilian needs are diversified, appearance, function, and installation methods. Appearance is mainly for installation in different places, outdoor, indoor, hall or door side, and even for different decoration places. Different colors white, dark gray, and black; functions are generally single-function enhancements, such as fingerprint access control all-in-one machine, The customer hopes to recognize the entrance and exit through fingerprint recognition, the time attendance, and access control all-in-one machine, the customer hopes to strengthen the software time and attendance, can count and analyze the attendance status of each user, calculate the attendance time, etc.; installation methods, some can be wired, Some can not be wired, some embedded installation, and some direct installation, the wiring method needs to be considered.

　　 Access control all-in-one machine is aimed at this kind of commercialized civilian needs, and the types are increasing with the continuous segmentation of the market, and the market will also get a substantial increase in the satisfaction of this demand. The rapid rise of real estate in the past ten years has also triggered a blowout of this kind of demand to a certain extent. With regard to this kind of market-driven products, the products lead the market, and gradually form a complete product system of access control integrated machines. Judging from the main classification of this product in the market, the product is still in a fairly immature period, and there is considerable room for development. Therefore, it is unrealistic for any merchant to fully occupy the market with any access control all-in-one machine at present and in the future. In other words, any small access control manufacturer can share a small market in a short period of time through market refinement. The access control integrated machine brings rare development opportunities to the growth of small enterprises in the access control industry. Only one or two products are needed to obtain a small share of the market.

The development of access control integrated machine technology

　　 Access control all-in-one technology is actually formed through the integration of access control controllers and access recognition equipment, which itself is an embedded integrated device. From the perspective of the development law of electronic equipment, it is usually decentralized to integrated, and from integration to functional diversification. As far as integrated equipment is concerned, the initial integration is often achieved at the expense of certain functions. In the mid-term, the functions are often the most important factor restricting the further development of the equipment. The technology of the access control integrated machine is mainly divided into three parts: one is the management software, the second is the main control module, and the third is the authentication and identification module. The management software, of course, needs to be easy to operate and practical and does not require too complicated project management. It is very simple to manage one or two functions; the main control module, this part is invisible to the user, but where it can be used, as long as Stable, can be combined with management software; authentication and identification modules, now mainly include cards, fingerprints, iris, of course, face recognition, one is not stable enough, the other is relatively need to integrate video equipment, still limited to the use of professional access control, Civilian access control all-in-one machines are still difficult.

The access control integrated machine is mainly aimed at the civilian market and is not a large application system, so it pays attention to the actual effect in terms of technology and structure. Technology usually focuses on function improvement, and users are more concerned about what kind of function can solve what kind of problem. The technical upgrade of the main control part of the equipment is relatively slow, but the function part is still affected, but more is the function adjustment of the management software and the change combination of multiple authentications and identification methods. Of course, the transmission method directly involves the convenience of use, such as RS232/485, TCP/IP.

　　Biological access control all-in-one, which is what we call fingerprint access control all-in-one, iris access control all-in-one, and of course the future face recognition access control all-in-one, plays a pivotal role in the development of access control all-in-one technology. In access control, users are first concerned with management, which is what we call control; and then the way of access, which is what we call authentication and identification. The biometric door access control integrated machine, also known as biometrics, recognizes the entry and exit by checking the biometrics of the personnel. There are fingerprint, palm, iris, facial recognition, and finger vein recognition. These biometric technologies From the point of view of identification, the security is excellent, no need to carry the card, which is very convenient. However, there are also some problems, such as high cost and recognition rate, which usually have high requirements on the environment and users. Therefore, biometric technology has a lot of room for development for the access control integrated machine. As far as the current development is concerned, fingerprint recognition and iris recognition technologies are gradually improving.

　　Access control is closely related to our lives. Many access control companies have developed targeted access control systems taking into account the differences of users. For example, the "Property Access Control" proposed by S4A is a brand new step towards intelligent integrated management as professional access control. It has pioneering competitive advantages in practical applications, online platform management, and general services. The "Property Access Control" management system mainly covers three major areas: system settings, community settings, and card management. The three management modules can realize collaboration and various services based on the platform. In order to realize safer and more convenient management of property management, innovatively introduce multi-route management, card function management, community structure, and user management. The rich applications of its platform include different user permission group functions, card validity period and authorization, visitor route function, simple management platform installation, and other modes of application. This kind of property platform is dedicated to helping customers achieve more efficient and more efficient solutions. With innovative management and broader expansion capabilities. There is no doubt that this functional expansion model will lead to the development trend of access control commercial and civilian use.

　　The role of access control integrated machine in intelligent security

　　In intelligent security, the access control integrated machine mainly manages the entrance and exit to ensure the safety of the entrance and exit. In various civil places, the entrances and exits are the places where the flow of people is the largest, the most complicated, and the most prone to problems, such as camouflage sneaking, illegal intrusion, and so on. We usually set the entrance and exit as the key point of safety: one is the safety factor; the other is from the management aspect, both legal and illegal personnel can be managed. In the traditional sense, attendance and visitors must be realized through the control of entrances and exits, and personnel is authenticated and identified, time recording, diversion, and route setting are performed. Different entrances and exits have different functions. There are temporary entrances and exits, emergency entrances and exits, management personnel entrances and exits, gate entrances, entrances and exits of community units... The access control integrated machine is mainly for the management of non-professional system exists and is responsible for authentication and identification, data recording, and access control. control.

　　In the future commercialized civilian market, the access control integrated machine will replace more than 90% of the access controllers. In a small range of applications, the integration of access control makes it easier to demonstrate its flexibility, mobility, and convenience. On the contrary, an over-professional access controller, because the system construction and management are too complicated and the application cost is too high, it is difficult to give play to its advantages in the civilian market.

　　Intelligent and networked development promotes continuous innovation of access control integrated machines

　　 Access control itself is a closed concept, which is to manage access within a fixed area. Traditionally, RS232/485 is used for communication, and data communication is carried out in a small area. However, this model does not adapt to the development trend of access control in the process of networked video, alarm center networking, and other intelligent security networks, so access control also needs corresponding changes. At present, the access control all-in-one machine also supports TCP/IP communication through the converter. The user can set up any device in the local area network and the wide area network through the management software, and any abnormal or illegal information can be transmitted to the management server for the first time.

　　In future networking, we will be able to quickly view and set up any access control all-in-one machine through any mobile communication or control device. There are various management and access methods, which can be software or WEB. In this diversified functional development mode, the access control market in various fields has been continuously developed.

　　 concluding remarks

　　 As more and more access control manufacturers focus on the development and expansion of access control integrated machines, the concept of access control will gradually penetrate into various fields and become a familiar product. By then, the access control market will reach a fairly high level, and access control companies will also get significant development. Undoubtedly, access control companies should expand into new markets, develop new product systems, and improve the safety protection level of the whole people through the process of civilianization of access control integrated machines. For manufacturers, what is urgently needed is to realize the corporate value and social value in this process and serve more consumer groups.
