Introducing the ACTAtek Biometric Access Control System

What is an ACTAtek?

ACTAtek sets the standard for modern day Access Control and/or Time and Attendance applications. When utilizing biometric fingerprint recognition technology, only those with authorized access will ever reach their destination. Parallel to ACTAtek’s top of the line security is its easy to use interface, a web based application stored directly on the unit. No extra software or hardware is necessary, which eliminates costly servers and technical headaches. ACTAtek’s web based server contains many logs, features, and functions. This gives an administrator complete access right at their desk, or from the other side of the world. Designed with integration in mind, nearly any office or building can be readily equipped at a low cost. Maximum security, maximum ease, and maximum value is the ACTAtek guarantee.

How does it work?

ACTAtek is essentially a small computer mounted on an indoor or outdoor surface near the secure area. Being that it is its own computer, ACTAtek is able to store all software and data on the unit while operating independently. The user friendly picture and prompt menu guides administrators through all of the basic functions directly available on the unit. Connecting ACTAtek to a network using a simple RJ45(Ethernet) connection makes a dynamic list of functions available on ACTAtek’s web interface. ACTAtek stands alone by featuring a web interface accessible to registered users anywhere in the world. Because no software is needed, the ACTAtek may be accessed using any web browser kept secure by an SSL encrypted connection. From here, administrators may access employee records, data logs, access rights, times of operation, times of access, activation/deletion, and many others features. Once ACTAtek is in place, the 500 dpi optical scanner registers multiple templates of a persons fingerprint to ensure maximum efficiency. ACTAtek may be enabled to store 500 to 10,000 users in any environment. Registered users are able to gain access by scanning their selected fingers on ACTAtek. Once verified, ACTAtek sends a signal to an electric lock, which then opens or unlocks the door. When using the ACTAtek web server interface, each user may be assigned specific access privileges including: access rights to specific areas, access times and dates, and many other actions. In addition to fingerprint recognition, certain models of ACTAtek are compatible with Phillips Mifare smart cards, HID Prox and iClass cards, Legic cards, magnetic stripe and bar code cards. Of course, the pin pad is available for simple pass code access where necessary. For a full list of features please click Features Analysis.

Multiple Access Areas

Many security implementations require multiple secured areas each with specific requirements. ACTAtek solves this allowing multiple ACTAteks, regardless of the model, to be networked and easily managed via single web browser window. The "Primary" ACTAtek will coordinate the exchange of all relevent information to each secondary ACTAtek. Keeping all information in one place enables easy user management and access control from a central location. Using the Logiprint Remote Registration USB device, all users may have their fingerprints scanned from a PC in a HR or security office, and have access rights assigned to all ACTAteks in less than two minutes. Quarterly firmware keeps the ACTAtek network running smooth in all situations.
