Revolving Turnstile Doors With ID Reader

Revolving turnstile doors enable visitors to enter and leave spaces using credentials such as cards, badges or biometric identification. Their usage data enables security teams and management teams to efficiently plan capacity and enhance venue safety.

This motorized revolving turnstile offers two-way access control with its elegant, revolving door aesthetic and can accommodate up to 38 passages per minute in either direction.

Security

Revolving turnstile doors add an additional layer of protection at facilities and can help ensure compliance with access control and visitor management systems. They can limit access to sensitive areas within a facility or building while being integrated with other security solutions like video surveillance cameras for monitoring.

Security turnstiles provide fine-grained control that ensures only those with scan or badge access are permitted into a restricted area, eliminating piggybacking or tailgating. Some security turnstiles feature alarms which go off if someone attempts to gain entry without scanning their credentials or attempts to force their way past without authorization, forcing through against this control or holding open the gate.

Geryon offers an array of security turnstiles designed to integrate seamlessly with various access control systems and meet various levels of security requirements. For instance, their SRD-C01 security revolving door features metal cladding that meets resistance class 3 specifications, making it suitable for high security applications such as airport security. Furthermore, this model can be controlled using card readers, buttons, control desks or biometric identification systems for optimal functionality.

Security turnstiles are an excellent addition to public spaces like subway stations and museums, commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing plants. They can be integrated into visitor management systems to track employee or guest entry into secure areas of a building as well as integrated with other security technologies like surveillance cameras or biometrics to increase functionality and security.

Access Control

Revolving turnstile doors offer a smart, elegant and cost-effective solution to managing entrance and exit traffic. Compatible with a range of credential readers including ID/RFID cards, fingerprint & facial recognition software, QR codes, biometrics and magnetic stripes, they help ease security guard workload while increasing productivity.

When a valid credential is presented to a turnstile, it automatically triggers its barriers to open for one pass before automatically locking again, providing controlled passage without security personnel having to manually open or close barriers themselves, as well as enhanced detection features to detect tailgating and loitering behavior.

Some models feature a three-wing motorized design with bidirectional operation and an attractive appearance, often used in airports, stations, docks scenic spots parks and other locations with the need for intelligent channel entrance and exit management. These access control turnstiles may also come equipped with cameras for monitoring purposes. This type of turnstile may be found at airports stations docks scenic spots parks etc as an intelligent channel entrance and exit management solution.

Selecting the ideal security turnstile depends on your individual requirements and layout of your space. Consider how much traffic must pass through it each day, whether or not higher capacity security features could benefit your organization and whether a biometric or facial recognition system might offer more robust protection than card reading systems. In addition, always check initial and ongoing costs associated with each turnstile option to make sure it fits within your budget.

Reverse Function

Waist-high revolving turnstile doors are commonly employed at venues with large crowds to manage entry and exit of people. Although these turnstile gates are user-friendly, their integrity can still be compromised by individuals looking to circumvent them through climbing over or climbing under barriers. Full-height turnstiles provide additional security, with larger barriers designed to prevent unauthorized passage through. This model features several additional security-enhancing features, such as a built-in metal detection system that alerts when metal objects or weapons are present. This motorized, three-sector turnstile features sliding doors that automatically close in case of an alarm, to restrict building access. This can be activated if multiple people attempt to enter simultaneously (known as tailgating in turnstile sector), the metal detector detects something suspicious or when someone does not scan their employee badge or fingerprint to enter. As standard, exit is free but additional checks can be applied as needed.

This unmanned security turnstile allows one person to pass per rotation, making it ideal for busy or crowded locations. Its high level of burglar resistance is achieved using laminated glass, special locks, and reinforced profiles. Furthermore, its battery backup can prevent malfunction in case of power outage or alarm and real-time data can be seen through Q-Web software.

Emergency Stop-revolving turnstile doors

Revolving turnstile doors with ID readers are designed to allow only one person through at any one time and can be set to open when users present proximity cards, biometric credentials or QR code scans. Furthermore, this system can detect metal objects or any attempt by people without employee badges to gain entry (tailgating) and close its doors accordingly – as well as display information or advertisements according to customer needs on a screen display system.

The system also contains features designed to prevent intruders from accessing the gates by using sensors in the ceiling of entry sectors that detect when someone is present, stopping and reversing rotation until either they leave the sector, or until another scan can begin. This system is ideal for airports, data centers and large facilities that need to prevent unauthorised access.

Though International Building Code standards require that any turnstile that blocks firefighters’ egress pathways should be overridden by fire alarm systems and opened to permit passage, systems integrators should carefully examine building layout and install additional means of egress such as swinging doors or gates nearby the turnstile to ensure it complies with local codes.
