The IdentIPoint by Melville, N.Y.-based Honeywell is an IP-based access control system that shifts system intelligence to the card reader using smartcard technology, eliminating the need for centralized access controllers, according to the company.
The IdentIPoint system features a smartcard that contains all cardholder credentials, including access rights, permissions and a biometric template if applicable. Additionally, the smart card uses a microprocessor to write information directly from the reader, and cardholders can be enrolled into the system through any designated IdentIPoint card reader.
The system also allows building operators to secure remote doors where networks are not present.
