Access Control System SingaporeCard, biometric & visitor access — on your terms.

It depends on the number of doors, the type of credential (card, mobile, PIN or biometric), the door hardware and locks, cabling routes, visitor management and whether it links to CCTV, alarms or lifts. We start with a free site survey, then send an itemised quotation before any work begins.

Card and fob access is quick, familiar and easy to cancel when a card is lost or someone leaves. Biometric access control (fingerprint or face) ties entry to the person rather than a card, which suits server rooms, cash offices and high-security doors. Many sites use cards for general doors and biometrics for a few critical rooms.

Usually, yes. Under PDPC advisory guidelines, organisations generally should not collect full NRIC numbers or keep copies of NRIC cards unless the law requires it or identity must be verified to a high degree. For most visitor registration, alternatives such as a mobile number, a QR pre-registration or the last few characters of an NRIC are typical. We’re not a law firm — for your specific obligations, speak to your lawyer.

Biometric data such as fingerprint or facial templates is personal data, so the PDPA’s obligations apply: tell people why you collect it, get consent where required, protect it, and keep it only as long as you need it. Offering a card alternative for anyone who can’t or prefers not to enrol is good practice. We’re not a law firm — speak to your lawyer on specifics.

Doors on escape routes must let people out in an emergency. We design with fire-safety egress requirements in mind — typically locks that release when the fire alarm activates or power is lost, plus a manual emergency release — and we coordinate with your building management and fire-safety professionals before installation.

Yes. Entry records from readers can feed a time attendance system for shift reports and exports to HR or payroll software. Tell staff clearly how attendance data is used, and keep it only as long as it is needed.

Yes — for guardhouses, lift lobbies, car park gates and facilities such as the gym or pool. These are common property, so the MCST normally needs to approve the works, and the managing agent usually administers residents’ cards. We work with the MCST and managing agent on approvals, by-laws and visitor registration at the guardhouse.

Often, yes. A forced door can bring up the nearest camera, the alarm can arm when the last person leaves, and lift readers can limit which floors a card can reach. See video analytics & system integration for how we bring systems onto one platform.
