Touchless access control solution introduced by Dahua

Dahua, a video-centric AIoT solution and service provider, has launched a new touchless access control solution that consists of the company’s Insider Series devices which offer a lightweight system and simplified installation, providing convenience and security to system installers and end users.

According to the company, implementing efficient access control is a huge challenge for small and medium-sized applications. Traditional access control that uses physical cards or keys can present issues, particularly if keys or access cards are lost/forgotten. It also often comes with complicated systems and additional platforms that require extra configuration.

Additionally, installation can be difficult due to complex wirings for power, network, etc., which adversely affects the overall costs of the entire system deployment. 

A new solution

Dahua says that the Insider Series Access Control Solution is tailored to address these prevailing problems. This solution offers touchless access (via Bluetooth) using the DMSS mobile app. It has three distance modes (short-range: 0-20cm; mid-range: 1-2m; long-range: 2-10m) and two trigger modes (normal, shake). Notably, the card number generated from the Bluetooth card request on the Dcloud platform is unique and encrypted, providing convenience and guaranteeing security at the same time.

Moreover, this solution is also equipped with an access control management platform that provides a web-centric operation and eliminates the need for additional platform configuration. It supports one main controller and 19 sub-controllers, allowing access for up to 1,000 users and 40 doors.

The company says this lightweight system offers user management, access control device management and global alarm linkage, as well as real-time monitoring of access control status, reporting of event information and remote controlling of doors.

The Dahua system’s web controller also supplies power to both locks and readers through PoE, which significantly reduces cabling costs. The system can generate a hardware interface diagram to effectively guide wiring and simplify construction for installers.

Benefits

“Overall, the Insider Series Access Control Solution is a convenient and secure access control system that provides touchless access via the DMSS mobile app, lightweight system with centralized management platform and streamlined installation process, making it ideal for various application scenarios such as offices, galleries, school, factory and more,” Dahua says on its website.
