CIVINTEC Data Center Access Control Solution

CIVINTEC access control terminals connect to a centralized management platform, bringing access permissions, credential activity, door status, and security events together for remote management and review.

Cloud-connected Management: Across multiple data center areas or sites, security teams can manage user permissions, review access records, monitor door status, and respond to alarms from a cloud platform. Real-time synchronization also helps maintain consistent access control and security records across connected facilities.

Offline Operation: When network connectivity is interrupted, CIVINTEC access control terminals continue operating with locally stored permissions and access records. Once the connection is restored, stored events can be synchronized with the management platform to maintain a complete access history.

Traceable Logs & Image Record: For CIVINTEC access control terminals equipped with cameras, access events can also include photo records. When a user presents a supported credential, the terminal captures an image and associates it with information such as the user, timestamp, and device ID for access review and incident investigation.

OTA Devices Upgrade: CIVINTEC access control devices supports OTA remote software and firmware update on server, eliminating the need for physical servicing. This reduces on-site maintenance time, lowers operational costs, and extends the overall system lifecycle.

Modern data centers host a wide spectrum of users, each requiring a different method of entry to balance security with operational flow. CIVINTEC terminals integrate multiple identification technologies within a single device to accommodate these diverse groups:

Facial Recognition: For high-security zones and personnel with elevated access privileges, CIVINTEC' s facial recognition technology transforms biological identity into an uncopyable, non-transferable credential.

Secured RFID: Employees and long-term engineers utilize high-security 13.56MHz Mifare® DESFire® EV2/EV3 smart cards, providing a durable and highly encrypted physical cards for daily use.

NFC/BLE Mobile Credentials: Staff can leverage encrypted BLE or NFC via their smartphones. This digital key approach provides a frictionless experience while ensuring the credential remains tied to a device typically protected by personal biometrics.

QR Code Scanners: For short-term contractors or one-time visitors, administrators can issue dynamic QR codes via email or SMS. These allow for instant, time-restricted entry without the need to issue or recover physical cards.

PIN Code: PIN code authentication provides an additional option for controlled access, serving as either a standalone entry method or a second layer in multi-factor authentication.

High-security data center areas require stronger protection for both user credentials and entry-exit control. CIVINTEC combines encrypted credential technologies, secure reader communication, and Anti-Passback (APB) to strengthen access control at critical entry points.

Secure Credential Protection: CIVINTEC supports MIFARE® DESFire® EV2/EV3 credentials with AES encryption and SAM AV2/AV3, helping protect credential data against cloning and unauthorized duplication.

Technical Note on Unified Configuration: CIVINTEC access reader supports OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol). This allows it to act as the primary "Edge" controller and terminal, while the CIVINTEC APB reader handles secondary entry or exit points. This bidirectional communication protocol ensures a unified dual-gate configuration that remains functional even during a network outage .

Anti-Passback Access Control: The CIVINTEC access control terminal enforces strict hardware-level entry-exit sequencing. This means a user is physically barred from exiting a high-security zone if a valid entry event has not been first recorded and authenticated. Conversely, a user will be physically barred from re-entering a high-security zone if they have not properly logged an exit first.

The system is designed not just to record events after they occur, but to anticipate and alert managers to threats in real-time. The CIVINTEC access control terminal supports multiple alarm outputs that trigger the moment the system detects a breach of security protocols:

Tampering Protection: Integrated sensors detect unauthorized attempts to pry the device from the wall or interfere with the hardware, triggering an immediate alarm.

Door-Forced-Open Alerts: The system identifies physical breaches of the perimeter, such as a door being forced open without a valid credential scan.

Door-Not-Closed Monitoring: Real-time notifications are sent if a high-security door is left ajar, preventing accidental exposure and ensuring the climate-controlled environment of a server room remains sealed.

Unauthorized Entry Attempts: The terminal triggers an alarm if an unverified individual attempts to gain access, allowing for an immediate security response.

CIVINTEC access control devices are offered with robust SDK seamlessly for customer server software integration and allow for personalized products based on user preferences. The device with display features a clear, responsive interface with a fully customizable UI — including personalized text, icons, and background images, audio file etc.
