access control (physical access)

Access control (physical access) is the management of access to physical assets such as doors and group of doors.

access rule

An access rule entity defines a list of cardholders to whom access is either granted or denied based on a schedule. Access rules can be applied to secured areas and doors for entries and exits, or to intrusion detection areas for arming and disarming.

antipassback

Antipassback is an access restriction placed on a secured area that prevents a cardholder from entering an area that they have not yet exited from, and vice versa.

attributes

In Genetec ClearID™, attributes are the traits or characteristics that make up an identity. Examples of attributes include department, location, role, seniority, pay grade, training certifications, and security clearance.

cardholder

A cardholder entity represents a person who can enter and exit secured areas by virtue of their credentials (typically access cards) and whose activities can be tracked.

cardholder group

A cardholder group is an entity that defines the common access rights of a group of cardholders.

credential

A credential entity represents a proximity card, a biometrics template, or a PIN required to gain access to a secured area. A credential can only be assigned to one cardholder at a time.

custom field

A custom field is a user-defined property that is associated with an entity type and is used to store additional information that is useful to your organization.

role

A role is a software component that performs a specific job within Security Center. To execute a role, you must assign one or more servers to host it.

schedule

A schedule is an entity that defines a set of time constraints that can be applied to a multitude of situations in the system. Each time constraint is defined by a date coverage (daily, weekly, ordinal, or specific) and a time coverage (all day, fixed range, daytime, and nighttime).

Security Center

Security Center is a truly unified platform that blends IP video surveillance, access control, automatic license plate recognition, intrusion detection, and communications within one intuitive and modular solution. By taking advantage of a unified approach to security, your organization becomes more efficient, makes better decisions, and responds to situations and threats with greater confidence.
