Transport

Airports, railway stations, metro stations, terminals, and high-capacity facilities.

Passageways, turnstiles and service areas

Typical Controller-Based Access Control System

Seenaptec Access Platform

A turnstile is treated as one or more controller access points with assigned inputs and outputs.

A turnstile is a standalone object type with readers, directional locks, and a passage sensor.

The passage mode depends on the access point and controller configuration.

Behavior is determined by the object type, while permissions are determined by the access pass and object rules.

Bulk configuration is performed on selected access points or controllers.

Standard turnstiles are created and linked to devices using a template.

Changing equipment requires reviewing the entire access point configuration.

Replacing a device does not change the object's routes, access passes, or history.

Separation of flows and zones

Typical controller-based ACS

Seenaptec Access Platform

Zones and directions are formed by passage points and access modes.

Objects are combined into perimeters and routes with explicit entry and exit assignment.

APB depends on the correct configuration of zone control at all points.

Presence state is maintained centrally; violations can either be blocked or only logged.

Different levels and modes are created for different categories of personnel.

Passes are assigned to objects, tags, or routes and contain their own validity periods and time profiles.

Changing the composition of a zone requires adjusting the modes of the relevant points.

The composition of the perimeter or route is changed without reconfiguring the passes issued for the corresponding tag.

Personnel, contractors, and visitors

Typical controller-based access control system

Seenaptec Access Platform

Employees and visitors are served by separate sections and issuance scenarios.

Person, identifiers, and pass are separated as independent entities; subject type does not change the access model.

A temporary pass and a visit route are created for the visitor.

A request reserves data but does not grant access; after issuance, the pass receives objects, route, term, and restrictions.

Escort is a special mode rule.

Escort is verified when requesting a specific access object.

Location verification is based on entry and exit reports.

The current access panel shows the real-time status of perimeters.

High equipment density

Typical Controller-Based Access Control System

Seenaptec Access Platform

The number of controllers is determined by the number of supported access points and inputs/outputs.

Up to 64 peripheral devices can be addressed on a single OSDP line.

A controller failure affects a group of connected access points.

Devices are addressed individually; the status of each device is monitored by the platform.

Redundancy typically requires duplication of the controller or the entire hardware subsystem.

The line can have two adapters at the ends of a single RS-485 segment and automatic switching between circuits.

Expansion requires the installation of additional controllers with the appropriate capacity.

Expansion is performed by adding addressable devices to existing or new OSDP lines.

Operations and investigation

Typical Controller-Based ACS

Seenaptec Access Platform

Monitoring, archive, reports, and operator log are separate functional areas.

Access event, technical status, and change audit form a single event sequence.

The operator analyzes the source, event type, and associated access point.

The event card shows the object, person, identifier, pass, decision, and reason.

Alarm responses depend on separately configured scenarios.

An alarm requires operator acknowledgment with a mandatory comment.

History is used for subsequent report generation.

Investigation tags are added on top of an immutable record; adding and removing a tag is also logged.
