Modular Security Systems Inc. (MSSI) offers a wide range of turn-key perimeter security solutions. Successfully maintaining security for both foot and vehicle traffic through the perimeter of major industrial projects while tracking employee payroll and time keeping MSSI has provided portable perimeter security solutions to customers around the world.
With a variety of access control technologies based on customer site specific needs MSSI has built these containerized security solutions with almost every type of security and access control specifications imaginable. Below we will take a look at some of the access control technologies MSSI has installed in Patented Modular Access Control (MAC) Portals in the past.
Proximity (Prox) Card - Prox cards are contactless integrated circuit devices used for access control. They operate at a range of approximately 0-3" and may be as simple as an employee ID number or intelligent enough (smart cards) to contain human readable features like fingerprints.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) - RFID requires the cooperation of an RFID tag and reader. An RFID tag can be placed on/in a tool or card which a reader can read several meters away. RFID is used for tracking and inventory control as well as access control and theft prevention.
Biometrics
Facial Recognition - Facial recognition uses a 3D image of a face to identify personnel. By evaluating the peaks and valleys around the different features of the face like the nose, mouth, and eye sockets, the computer recognizes nodal points to create a "face print" that is extremely unique. That "face print" can then be compared to others in the system database.
Hand Geometry - Hand geometry recognition is the oldest, yet still effective, for of biometric identification. A patent for the technology was awarded in 1986 and the technology debuted on the market the very next year. Readers evaluate the length, width, thickness, and surface area using a silhouette image of the human hand.
Iris Scan - Iris scanners analyze the colored tissue around the eye which has more than 200 points that may be evaluated for uniqueness. The technology works through glasses and some devices even prevent spoofing by using a light variation to analyze pupil dilation.
Vascular Recognition - Vascular scanner uses passive infrared technology to read the unique veins and capillaries beneath the skin on the back of the human hand. The read is fast and accurate and, since the read is taking place under the skin, can read through grease, grime, or whatever may be covering the skin.
X-Ray - X-Ray detection can be used to detect hard and soft materials by the variation in transmission through a target/package. Used in the scanning of both packages and people X-Ray detection is an additional option that can be built into almost any MAC Portal.
Metal Detection- Metal detection screening devices can also be installed in MAC Portals to add to the level of screening and security capabilities at your site. Through the use of metal detection devices for individuals and their baggage security at your location can be greatly increased.
