Re: Door control/security software

Don't know if biometrics bypasses a two-tier system.  Did you ever see 
"Demolition Man"?

Door control/security software






I'm looking at replacing the software we use to control computer room
access.  It's some older version supplied by ADT and works with a simple
card interface.

I am looking at a two-tier type of system that most likely includes
biometrics.  It really depends on the cost.  By two-tier I mean an access
method that requires two positive inputs in order to gain access.  Keycard
+ pin number would be the best example I can give.  Of course if I support
a biometric interface than two-tier is probably not needed.  But in 
reality
I'm looking for a system that is rather flexible in the type of devices 
and
authentication methods it uses.

We are a big-time Kronos user for timekeeping (highly recommended) but I
think their GateKeeper product is kind of a secondary product for them.

Of course, we much rather centralize the software to the most stable and
secure system so that would get preferential treatment (need I say more
Joe?)  :-)

Any ideas?
