Access Control Systems
Sin Chew Alarm’s access control systems are essential security measures, precisely controlling who can access specific or restricted locations. Moving beyond traditional keys, our robust solutions utilise advanced technology to verify identity and authorise entry, providing strong protection. These systems safeguard people, property, and sensitive information by preventing unauthorised access, offering granular control, and providing detailed audit logs. Read More…
Our systems enhance overall security with foolproof authentication via biometrics or traditional card access, ensuring precise, reliable identification and a seamless solution tailored to your needs.
Types of Access Control Systems We Offer
Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
Provides the most restrictive security, where system administrators solely control access. Users cannot alter permissions, creating formidable security for sensitive
information. Commonly used by government entities due to its commitment to confidentiality.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
Grants more control to security leadership to determine resource access. This system offers flexibility but demands active management of permissions, requiring continuous oversight due to potential for actions to fall through the cracks.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Assigns permissions based on a user’s business responsibilities or role. As the most common system, it simplifies employee grouping, increases visibility, and provides a flexible model protecting against breaches and data leaks.

Card Access System Solutions
Card access system solutions are security systems that control various card technologies, RFID/proximity cards, and more advanced MIFARE or smart card technologies. These cards interact with readers to grant access to physical or digital spaces.
Key components include card readers, electronic locks, control panels, and management software. These systems provide detailed audit logs for tracking entry and can often integrate with HR or attendance tracking systems. They support modern features like mobile card emulation, using smartphones as access cards, and remote access management.
These systems are widely deployed and ideal for securing diverse environments such as office buildings, condominiums, warehouses, and other commercial or residential properties requiring controlled access.
Biometric Access Solutions
Biometric door access system solutions are advanced security systems that authenticate individuals based on unique biological traits like fingerprints, facial features, or voiceprints.
These solutions include fingerprint access, offering high accuracy and wide usage in residential and commercial properties, especially for securing critical areas like server rooms. Facial recognition access provides contactless verification, ideal for high-traffic or hygiene-sensitive environments such as hospitals and laboratories. Additionally, voice, vein, and iris recognition systems are available for specialised, high-security applications when required.
Key components include biometric sensors, databases, matching algorithms, and access control panels. These systems provide a high level of security, can integrate with other access control methods and may use anti-spoofing measures.
Biometric door access systems offer a more convenient and highly secured alternative to traditional access methods.
Integrated Door Access Control Systems
Integrated door access control systems offer comprehensive security management, which is ideal for multi-entry facilities and high-security sites requiring coordinated control across numerous points. These systems seamlessly connect to and manage diverse physical barriers like turnstiles, auto-locking doors, and lift controls, ensuring consistent access and security protocols.
These systems incorporate vital safety features. For instance, emergency overrides can link to fire alarm systems for coordinated responses. They also offer configurable power failure modes. “Fail-safe” mode ensures doors unlock during an outage, while “fail-secure” keeps them locked when power is removed.
Enterprise-Grade Access Control Solutions
Enterprise solutions are comprehensive software applications designed for the complex needs of Multinational Corporations (MNCs), banks, and large industrial plants to streamline and integrate various business processes. These solutions offer highly scalable security infrastructure that manages extensive facilities effortlessly through a centralised control dashboard and zone-based permissions system.
These robust systems effectively support operations across multiple locations with capabilities for remote administration and access to real-time updates. They integrate seamlessly with essential business platforms like Human Resource Management System (HRMS), time and attendance tracking, and visitor management systems, streamlining workflows and enhancing overall organisational security.

Frequently Asked Questions About our Access Control System
Can door access control systems be integrated with CCTV and alarms?
Our door access control systems are designed for integration with CCTV cameras and alarm systems. This creates a unified security platform where access events, whether authorised or unauthorised, can trigger specific camera recordings or alarm notifications, enhancing situational awareness and investigation capabilities for better overall security management.
What is the procedure if an access card is lost?
If an access card is lost or stolen, it should be reported immediately to the system administrator or designated security personnel. They can quickly deactivate the lost card in the access control software, preventing unauthorised use. A replacement card can then be issued according to your organisation’s policy. For residential access cards, please contact us for assistance.
What is the typical installation timeframe?
The installation timeframe varies based on system complexity, the number of doors or access points, site readiness, and integration requirements. A simple single-door setup might take a day, while larger, integrated control systems for multiple floors or buildings will naturally take longer. Contact us for a site assessment and an accurate timeline.
Where is biometric data stored: locally or in the cloud?
Biometric data can be stored either locally, on-premise servers or directly on devices, or securely in the cloud, depending on the system design and client requirements. Both methods employ strong encryption and security measures, ensuring compliance with PDPA regulations for the safe handling of sensitive biometric templates.
