The magnetic access control card reader reads information from a card’s magnetic stripe, transmitting it to the access control unit. This unit is supplied with a keypad to provide additional security, the user’s card needing to be approved and the correct PIN entered before access is granted.
“When a customer arrives on site to access their own storage unit, they present a fob to open a weatherproof, vandal resistant box that holds the finger print scanner. Here they must enter their individual PIN and scan their finger print. Once authorised the gates open and customers may proceed to their own unit. As soon as their fingerprint is recognised, they are authorised to access the keypads that protect their individual storage unit and so to access it. This dual protection level is very unusual in our industry; ordinarily sites only have perimeter access control protection with a traditional lock protecting each individual unit."
