2. Web Based Access Systems
Definition of Web Based Access Control System
Access Control application that can be accessed entirely from a standard Web Browser (ie, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox)
3 Types of Web Based Systems
Traditional host based system with web interface add-on
Web hosted application such as an ASP model
Browser based network appliance
What is an Appliance?
Special purpose hardware platform with embedded software that handles a particular application (ie, Linksys router, IP camera, chiller plant controller)

3. Industry Trends – Access Control
Progression of Access System Architectures
Host based server, client workstations
Master server, regional servers, client workstations
Embedded access systems, web browser based clients
Traditional Access System Architectures are Changing
Network topology is flattening
Systems becoming more distributed
Open Integration for Access Systems
Previously through custom proprietary serial drivers
Can also provide connectivity through API / SDK
Migrating towards open protocols – BACnet, LON, Modbus, Niagara
Now deliver content through web services – XML, oBIX

4. Traditional Access Control Arch.
Client Workstation
Host Based Server
Central Server
Full client workstations
Isolated BAS
Local Area Network

6. Industry Trends - BAS
Facility Managers Seeking Tighter Integration with Lighting, HVAC, and Energy Management
Need for energy cost savings!!
Access System Becoming Vital Component of BAS
Provides “who” enters the facility
Based on “who”, system can determine “where” individual lives and “what” resources they require
Facilities can Exact Equipment Usage Based on Need
Reduces energy costs
Increases life expectancy on equipment
Track “who” and how much energy was consumed

15. Enterprise Integration
Business applications need security and building information
Web based access systems combined with Web Services provides the plumbing to unlock this information
New Enterprise applications are now possible such as
After hours tenant billing
Individual tenant comfort override and personal settings
Integrated “smart building” scenarios – the building simply knows what to do when you present your card

16. New Enterprise Integration
Web Browser
Enterprise Applications
Integration through Web Services
New applications and services
No Access Control PC required
HTTP
XML, oBIX

19. Issues: Traditional access systems are not embedded systems
Required host based servers
Required Client workstations with thick client software
Traditional access systems not integrated in to Building Automation Systems
Standalone and isolated systems
Inefficient use of equipment and energy
Limited Enterprise Integration
Lacking the “who” and the “what”
Money left on the table

20. Web Based Access Control and Integration to BAS

21. Benefits of Next Generation Access Systems
Embedded, browser based
Full server functionality without the PC or Disk drive
Less intimidating investment
More customers will invest in high tech security without the need for high tech training
Lower maintenance cost
No single point of failure
System can be sold with the building
No special operators software or PC
Any browser is an operator station
Access from anywhere for daily operation and maintenance

22. Benefits of Next Generation Access Systems
BAS Integration
Lower installed cost of integrated systems vs. stand alone systems with overlapping features
Increased energy savings with tighter integration of occupancy for lighting and HVAC
Increased tenant satisfaction with “one card swipe” integrated control of security, lighting, and HVAC
Easy tenant override
Enterprise Integration
Integral oBIX server lowers cost of integrating security data to the enterprise
No server PC required, big system functionality without the big system
Occupant and override data tightly integrated to enterprise applications for tenant billing, human resources etc.
