Solution for controlling doors at Hospitals with fingerprints, magnetic cards, and faces

What is the hospital access control solution?

Control doors at the hospital is a solution to manage doors to hospital departments, using door control devices with fingerprints, faces, magnetic cards... To manage people entering and leaving the operating room and work room areas.

Door management solution is applied by many hospitals to enhance safety and security during operations.

Control access to areas at the hospital

– Door management system for operating rooms, post-operative rooms, and laboratories:

For these rooms, the solution is to install fingerprint, magnetic card, and face recognition readers combined with magnetic locks to manage access. Only those who are granted access can use it through the authentication mechanism on the card reader device.

– Control doors to the hospital's working area:

These areas are usually only reserved for hospital staff and business partners. Therefore, the area will also need to restrict the free movement of patients or unrelated people. Use an electromagnetic lock system that combines facial recognition devices, fingerprints or magnetic cards.

In addition, the access control system helps officials, medical staff, and doctors clock in or out more conveniently and quickly with magnetic cards, fingerprints or faces.

Access control model at the hospital

– Access control system basically includes the following components: card reader, automatic lock (bolt lock, magnet lock), 12V/24V power supply for card reader.

– At the entrance area that needs to be controlled, there will be an electromagnetic lock and card reader used to open/close when entering and exiting. Data from the card reader is downloaded to the control software installed on the manager's computer. When entering/exiting, each person will have to register the corresponding card with the card reader device. After registration, it can be used as a normal authentication and entry/exit method.

– To be able to enter/exit the office, employees will have to scan fingerprints or scan cards at the readers. The card reader will recognize the valid code on the card or fingerprint and command the door to automatically open.

– Data including employee ID, entry/exit time will be saved in the reader and then transmitted directly to the control software on the security guard or human resources manager's computer. The data on the machine will be the basis for employee timekeeping.

Emergency exit button to open the door when you need to escape (fire, terrorism...), wireless door opener handle, power supply for the system (A device that helps convert from 220V AC power to 12V DC power supply for the entire system. This device can be a normal conversion adapter or a 12v DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
