Case Study

QR code access control is a keyless-based method that replaces traditional plastic cards, enabling tenants and visitors to scan QR codes on their mobile phones for fast, secure access. QR codes, also known as “quick response codes,” offer enhanced security and greater flexibility compared with traditional barcodes. QR code access control system includes PC software or a mobile phone app that enables it to generate a dynamic unique QR code, which can be set to allow access to a specific door or area of a building for a limited time.

QR code access control reader system has a built-in camera scanner that allows users to simply display the QR code on their mobile phone for scanning. Cidron QR code access control reader, compatible with Wiegand/OSDP and IP terminals, provides touchless access by scanning QR codes, ideal for visitor management. Civintec QR code access control system, compatible with Wiegand/RS485 and APB readers, provides touchless access by scanning QR codes, ideal for facility IoT access control solutions. 

QR code access control reader/system support multiple formats (1D & 2D Codes) : including dynamic QR Code, Micro QR Code, PDF417, CODE 128, CODE 39 and most mainstream 1D and 2D barcodes.

What are the benefits of QR code technology being used in access control and door entry reader system?

1. Enhanced Security with dynamic QR codes

Dynamic QR Codes access are much more flexible than conventional barcodes, have more storage capacity, and allow for longer text strings. The combination of dynamic code access control with multi-factor authentication solutions, such as entering a PIN code while scanning a dynamic QR code, further increases the security level of QR code-based access control solutions.

2. Flexible Temporary Access Permissions

QR code can set time limits and usage limits for visitors to enter. If the QR code is not used within the specified time, it will become invalid and inaccessible. For example, contractors or cleaners only need to enter the specified area on certain days of the week. To ensure the security of the other the premises, the manager can recreate a temporary QR code for visitors, which makes this type of access control safe and secure.

QR code access solution provides flexibility for changing visitor access credentials and arrival times. For example, couriers who want to enter certain areas of the building can only have a temporary QR code distributed by the administrator, allowing access to reserved spaces in the building but not to other spaces.

3. Remote Access Management

QR code based access control system enables administrator to create and distribute, update, and revoke access to QR codes remotely from anywhere and at any time, providing efficient system management solutions.

4. Contactless Door Access

QR code access control system is commonly used in the hospital industry, which supports the trend of contactless access control and helps prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. 

5. Environmental Protection

QR code is a great way to reduce the use of plastic cards and other resources used to make traditional keys and cards, thereby reducing the carbon footprint in the overall environment.

6. High-level Encryption 

All accessed data is communicated through end-to-end high security encryption, ensuring the privacy of organizations and users as well as security from hacking or data theft.

7. Cost Effective

QR code access control system helps make access management more efficient in a variety of industries, including office, car park, barrier, healthcare, sport center and gym, community area and pool, campsite, hotel room and tourist apartment, etc. Contactless QR code access control method can enhance efficiency and security, eliminating friction for visitors, while reducing the cost of maintaining cards and other physical solutions. An access control system with QR code can help you manage the large number of visitors who visit your building and need to be on board quickly. By regularly updating and monitoring QR code and access control system, your organization can ensure a safe and efficient environment for all employees and visitors.
