i-Neighbour : BLE-2 Deployment in Controlling Visitors' Car Entry & Exit for Gated and Guarded Community



Introduction
Even with the current advanced Visitor Management System implemented in respective gated guarded communities, issues caused by human behaviour still tend to occur daily. Guards are still granting visitors entry without going through proper registration in the system.

TimeTec BLE-2 is a device meant to be an intermediary between i-Neighbour guard panel and a barrier gate controller, intending to automate and monitor the opening of the barrier gate upon registration of a visitor through the i-Neighbour Visitor Management System using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. 

In this article, we cover topics as follows:

    1. Benefits of using TimeTec BLE-2 and the challenges it overcomes  
    2. How it connects to the barrier gate & i-Neighbour Visitor Management System (i-Vizit)





BLE-2 Benefits
Facilitate the workflow of security guards - Guards will no longer need to press on the push button to open the barrier gate after registering a visitor. With BLE-2 installed, the guards will only have to register the visitors via i-Vizit system and the barrier gate would automatically be raised allowing the visitor to enter.

The Challenges it Overcomes 
The push-button can also be locked to prevent guards from using the push button to open the barrier gate manually to improve security. This way, we can ensure that the guards will be compelled to register the visitors before allowing them to enter the compound. Hence, it prevents guards from manually pressing the push button, bypassing the system to grant visitors entry without registration.



How it connects to the barrier gate & i-Vizit.
BLE-2 I/O is connected to the barrier gate via a push button. Upon completing the registration process, i-Vizit will send a signal to BLE-2 via Bluetooth Low Energy network. BLE-2 will then trigger the push button to open the barrier gate.

How The Long Range Reader Works With Ingressus Controller


Introduction On Vehicle Access Control:
Vehicle Access Control System is a security control method that can be utilized to allow the access of transportation vehicles such as cars into a compound. In access control systems, users are required to present their credentials before they can be granted access and the same can be said for the Vehicle Access Control System as well. Access Control is the concept of utilizing advanced technology to keep unauthorized individuals from accessing a building or an area within a facility. Therefore in a Vehicle Access Control System, the vehicle boom barrier operation is the main platform designed to manage the car’s access areas.

Normally, this operation requires an RFID Access Card and users will need to present the RFID card in order to obtain the access for their vehicles. Now with the latest technology, TimeTec presents the Anti-Torn UHF Long Range RFID Sticker to replace the traditional RFID Access Card. Simply stick it on the inside or outside of the vehicle’s windscreen in order for the  Long Range Reader to automatically grant your vehicles access into the premise.

Below is a depiction on how this particular system operation works together with Ingressus Controller:
 

How It Works?
Whenever a vehicle approaches the gate, the Long-Range Reader will read the UHF RFID Sticker with up to a maximum of 10 Meters distance depending on the Reader and environment.

Once the Reader has obtained the information from the Sticker, the data will then be sent to the Ingressus Controller which contains all of the user data for verification to allow the users to enter the premise.

After the Ingressus Controller has identified the data, the device will in turn send a signal to the Barrier Gate Controller. Once received the signal, the Barrier Gate Controller will unlock the gate and close it after the vehicle has completely passed the loop sensor.

Wiring Connection:

As the Long-Range Reader uses a Wiegand connection for its communication, Wiegand 1 at the Ingressus will be used to connect the Long-Range Reader for the Entrance gate. The NO and COM at Lock 1 will be used as an Output to send a signal to the Barrier Gate Controller.
For the Exit gate, the device uses the Wiegand 3 as connection to the Long-Range Reader. The NO and COM at Lock 2 will be used as an Output to send a Signal to the Barrier Gate Controller.

All in all, the Ingressus Controller is a one stop verification that not only centralizes the devices involved but also provides a centralized verification for an exceptional security that no other brands can provide.
