Technology Trend #2
Bluetooth credentials replacing access cards in SMEs
Bluetooth credentials are becoming more common in New Zealand as they provide an easy convenient way of providing building access. A new staff member or client can be given credentials easily and simply by sending a link to their phone. The phone can then be held near the card reader in the same way you would with a swipe card. This is particularly useful when the administrator is not on site to pass on a physical card or key fob.
Gallaghers SMB Access Control System allows phone credentials to be added with ease. This adds a new level of security when granting access to outside parties or temporary building users.
A particular user’s onsite activity can still be tracked to them personally for attendance reporting. The credential can also be revoked automatically after a set number of days or when needed.
Another major New Zealand Manufacturer ICT (Integrated Control Technology) provide Bluetooth credentials as an option too. The credential can be used on its own or as part of a two-factor identification alongside an access card for higher levels of security.
