Entrance portal

by Mark Rowe

The Circlelock portal from Boon Edam is suitable as an ‘anti-tailgating’ product as it can prevent any attempt to gain unauthorised access and can be designed to confirm the identity of any user entering it. The barrier, gate and turnstile company says the product is a solution for sensitive, secondary or remote entrances that have lower foot fall requirements.

Formed from two curved sliding doors, the Circlelock opens the outside door upon the authorisation of an access control system. Once the user has entered the portal, a pre-set weight system or a more complex StereoVision system which allows the portal to visualise the user in a three dimensional format can be integrated within the door and will determine whether the user is alone or whether someone unauthorised is accompanying. A third party biometrics identification system can also be incorporated to ensure the correct match of biometric data of the user in accordance with a set database of authorised users for that door. Only when the security systems give a clear signal will the second door of the portal open and the secured area be entered.

Boon Edam provides customisable access control to sectors including colleges, universities, data centres and hospitals. Visit www.boonedam.com.
