What is "BIO SKD"
Computerized system of managing access to buildings and sites is designed to monitor sites using biometric fingerprint identification by fingerprint reader (scanner) and to control electrical locks with additional possibility to manage any other devices and mechanisms, as well as to process the signals from different sensors.

How It Works
The basic version of the system is designed to open doors using biometric fingerprint scanners that identify your fingerprint. In order for the door to open, all you need to do is to place your left thumb on the scanner. The whole operation takes no more than a second! And it is 100% reliable! The system cannot be tricked because it remembers not only the fingerprint itself, but also other biometric characteristics that are unique for different people.

Advantages
After installing BIO SKD, you will no longer need to carry keys, access cards, key chains and other objects that are easy to lose, give to someone else, break, etc. The program does not work in one instance only - if one of the fingers is severely damaged. Minor or frequent injuries (cuts) are OK and do not interfere with the identification! All data and settings are stored on the computer, access to which is only permitted by the biometric method also, i.e. by placing the thumb on the scanner.

Where it can be used
BIO SKD can be installed on any site, from a home to a large industrial site. Previously such systems were only used on secret military bases. Later they were used by large banks to access deposit safes of their clients. Recently biometric identification technologies became much more popular, and are now affordable to most companies or even an individual.

BIOSKD-A complete biometric access control solution with 2-5 scanners up to 500 users.

Upscaling/Downscaling
The system can be installed in a minimal version: 2 scanners and 2 locks/devices. If necessary, the number of devices can be increased almost indefinitely. It is possible to build a global network for managing remote sites with one central control system that would collect and process statistical data! The number of users can be anywhere from 1 to 10,000 and more. Integration with surveillance cameras and the Internet via secure channels can be easily achieved.

Prices
Because each site is different and the price depends on many parameters, we can not state a certain price. We can only give an estimate based on the number of scanners needed and the number of the potential users.

The price (in USD) includes the cost of all software and equipment, excluding cables, USB extenders, hubs, and locks. Assembly and installation are paid for additionally.

Fingerprint Scanners

BIO SKD support many fingerprint scanners:

The scanners are connected to the computer through the active USB extensions and hubs that can be up to 5 meters long.

Extensions allow the scanners to be away from the computer at the distance up to 26 meters, if 5 such extensions are connected in a row.

If necessary, we install special extensions, 50 meters and longer, or in some cases we can install an additional computer. It is possible to hook up an existing computer and set up a network connection with the main computer as well.

Special USB extenders consist of two transmitters that are connected by CAT5 cables. You can use an existing LAN network.

How computers are placed is very important. If the maximum length of the extensions is 50 meters, the computer needs to be placed in the middle, so that the distance to the farthest door is 25 meters, which would allow you to avoid additional expenses.

The controller is connected to the computer.

The controller is designed to operate locks and other devices. It provides ability to connect various transmitters and to receive signals from other devices in order to open all doors at once (for example, when a fire alarm is set off).
For an extra cost, we can design so-called "Smart House" systems based on our controllers.

In the basic version of the system electro-mechanical locks from CISA are connected to the controller.

or turnstile:

The system uses proprietary software application developed by us to operate.

Installation

Depending on the site, configuration and additional requirements of the customer, installation may take from 2 to 14 days. In cases of major alterations and unusual requirements, installation may take up to 2 months.

Installation starts only after placing a deposit and reaching a complete agreement about terms of installation.

The order of installation works is coordinated with the customer.
After the installation our specialists conduct a preliminary informational meeting on the site with the senior executives. During this meeting our staff will give detailed overview of the system and information about adding users, configuring access permissions, manual operation (in case of emergencies). If necessary, we will explain how to process statistical data.
In most cases, this application is used once or periodically to add new users. It has a simple and easy-to-use interface.

The rest of the software runs on its own and doesn't require constant supervision by an operator or a user.
The main module is usually used to make necessary changes to the system configuration:

Main Functions of the Program Application:

- reviewing the status of operations and fingerprints;
- entering new users;
- deleting users;
- searching and changing access privileges;
- changing scanner-to-locks connections;
- manual operation of the locks/devices;
- turning on/off sets of locks/devices;
- manual configuration, turning on/off the scanners;
- turning on/off automatic start and re-start options;
- turning on/off sound signals options;

Each operation is logged in the database. Each fingerprint, including digressions in the attempt to enter, is saved (graphically). This information is stored in the database, including date and time when the record was made. This means that you can look through and find information about any event any time. If the video camera-module is installed, each camera shot is also saved.

The statistics processing application uses this data to generate different reports, with ability to sort by day, month, etc.
You can also review the operational data and statistics reports ONLINE.
If a customer installs a remote system or additional computers, the data from all of these sites and computers is sent to the server and is saved in the global database.
The statistics module works with this database.
You can use any other connections, including Internet, employing secure connections that provide confidentiality. The amount of traffic is very small - not to exceed 24b per each operation or about 24 Kb per 1,000 operations, or 240 Kb per 10,000 operations. So even on large sites, external Internet traffic will not exceed 1-2 Mb, which should be inexpensive.
Warranty period for the entire equipment is 12 months.
If the customer wants technical support after that, we can offer it for any time range with a fixed monthly fee.

Since we manufacturer this system, we can design and adapt to any site and to meet any requirements a customer may have. Changes and adding new functions is possible, as well as integration with other equipment and applications.
