Is ASIS Technologies access control hardware compatible with the OSDP standard?

Yes. WebENTRA controllers and KeyENTRA readers support OSDP, the SIA-developed standard published as IEC 60839-11-5, alongside Wiegand and RS485 (ADNET, CLEX) interfaces.

What encryption does SKeyMa use to protect credential data?

WebENTRA R100 Series readers combine the SKeyMa key-management framework with AES-128 and 3DES algorithms, storing secret keys in a Secure Access Module (SAM). SKeyMa is also offered as a tiered service â€” Prime, Corporate, and Private â€” using AES-256.

Why do GoENTRA and WebENTRA list different encryption strengths (AES-256 vs AES-128)?

They protect different layers. WebENTRA R100 Series reader-to-SAM communication uses AES-128 with 3DES. GoENTRA mobile credentials and the higher SKeyMa service tiers use AES-256. Both are current, supported configurations; the appropriate tier depends on deployment risk profile.

Can IBSSweb scale from a single-door installation to a multi-site enterprise deployment?

Yes. IBSSweb scales from a simple access-control-only configuration up to a global, multi-site deployment supporting up to 100,000 users, with automatic server failover for continuous availability.

Does IBSSweb have any known database limitations?

When deployed on SQL Server Express, IBSSweb is subject to that edition's database size ceiling. Administrators must perform periodic data trimming to maintain uninterrupted operation.

What are the four AI pillars inside IBSSweb v5 AI?

PULSE (Predictive System Health), RISK (Credential Intelligence), AOS (Automated Operations), and COG (Cognitive Support).

What certifications does ASIS Technologies hold?

ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, bizSAFE Level 3, the Progressive Wage Mark, and CE and FCC certification on edge hardware.

Should an enterprise security management system be hosted on-site or in the cloud?

Either can work. On-site hosting, on a physical server or a virtual machine, gives your own IT team full control and suits organizations with highly sensitive data. Cloud hosting shifts server maintenance to a data center and suits organizations that would rather not manage that hardware themselves.

How to choose the right biometric technology for an access control system?

A biometric access control system confirms a person’s identity by reading a physical trait — a face, a fingerprint, or an iris pattern — instead of, or alongside, a card or a PIN. ASIS Technologies builds this around three reader families (face, fingerprint, and iris), one enrolment platform (IBSSweb), and one class of secured-area controller (WebENTRA) that makes the final access decision. The result is contactless, fast authentication at the door, with every credential managed from a single console rather than four separate vendor systems.

How to choose the right biometric technology for an access control system?

Fingerprint readers cost the least and suit most doors. Iris recognition gives the highest accuracy for the most sensitive areas. Face recognition is the fastest and most touch-free choice for high-traffic entrances. Every option enrols through the same IBSSweb session.

Enterprise Face Recognition Access Control: the AFR9000 Series

The AFR9000 Series covers a 7-inch flagship terminal, a 3.5-inch compact station, and an IP67 video-intercom door station, so one face-recognition family fits corporate HQs, meeting rooms, and outdoor gates alike. The AFR9350 and AFR9700 add dual-lens 3D-liveness detection that checks depth and texture, rejecting printed photos, video replays, and masks in real time. Every terminal only authenticates the face — it sends an identity token to a WebENTRA controller, which is what authorizes the door.

Fingerprint Access Control: the AFR8600 Series

The AFR8600 Series is a fingerprint access control reader family — AFR8620W, AFR8631W, and AFR8631CW — built around a widely recognized three-factor combination: fingerprint (who you are), card (what you have), and PIN (what you know), used together or in any lighter combination per door. An integrated optical sensor, contactless smartcard reader, and keypad sit in one elegant housing, with Wiegand output to the WebENTRA controller and Ethernet for template download.

Enrol Every Biometric Type From a Single Screen

Enrolling biometrics independently at each reader is a security gap: without a shared check, anyone could register someone else’s fingerprint or face against the wrong card. IBSSweb closes that gap by acting as the single enrolment and management platform behind face, fingerprint, and iris alike — a cardholder profile is validated first, and only then is a biometric template added to it. The same session that enrols a face template manages the fingerprint and iris templates too, so security teams standardise on one console regardless of which credential a door requires.

Step 1

Capture & Verify

Photo capture and an identity check confirm the cardholder before any biometric feature is attached to their profile.

Step 2

Crop & Assign Access Mode

The operator crops the capture and chooses the access mode — biometric only, or combined with card and PIN.

Step 3

Download to Reader

The template deploys to the reader over the network — no separate install required on the enrolment desktop.

Reader Authenticates, Controller Decides: the Security Logic Explained

No ASIS biometric terminal ever controls a door lock directly. It sits in the public area and only authenticates the person, then hands an identity to a WebENTRA controller installed in the secured area — the controller is what checks policy and releases the lock. If someone tampered with a reader, they still could not open the door: the decision and the wiring never leave the secured side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a biometric access control system?

A biometric access control system checks who a person is — using their face, fingerprint, or iris — before it lets them through a secured door. It replaces or backs up cards and PIN codes with a physical trait that is difficult to lose, share, or fake.

Which biometric method should I choose: face, fingerprint, or iris?

Fingerprint readers cost the least and work well for most offices. Iris recognition gives the highest accuracy for high-security sites such as data centres and government buildings. Face recognition is the fastest and most touch-free option, which makes it a common choice for busy lobbies and turnstiles.

What health and safety features come with AFR9000 face readers?

ASIS Technologies offers a face-recognition reader variant built for health-conscious environments, with optional thermal screening and mask detection. Ask your ASIS representative which model and current configuration supports this for your site.

Can I manage face, fingerprint, and iris credentials from one place?

If each reader enrols its own biometric data, anyone could register someone else’s fingerprint or face to their own card. Enrolling every credential through IBSSweb closes that gap: a cardholder profile is checked and confirmed first, before any biometric feature is added to it.

Is the door lock controlled by the reader or a separate controller?

No. The reader only checks who the person is and then passes that identity to a WebENTRA controller installed in the secured area behind the door. The controller is what checks policy and releases the lock — so tampering with a reader in the public area can never open a door on its own.

What's the maximum enrolment capacity per reader?

Face recognition terminals support up to 10,000 users. Fingerprint readers in the AFR8600 Series support up to 4,500 users with two fingerprint templates each. Iris readers scale from 500 to more than 10,000 enrolled users, depending on the scan-reader tier — contact ASIS Technologies for deployments beyond 30,000 users.
