Access Control

Biometric, RFID and mobile-credential access systems with full audit trails, anti-passback and time-and-attendance integration.

Physical keys belong in the past. A modern access control system gives every employee and visitor a unique credential — face, fingerprint, RFID card or smartphone — and gives you a complete, time-stamped audit trail of who went where and when. That is the foundation of both security and accountability.

Araneae Networks designs and installs enterprise-grade access control combining facial recognition, fingerprint readers, RFID/NFC cards and Bluetooth mobile credentials. Every system is unified under a single web dashboard for real-time monitoring, with role-based admin permissions and full audit logging.

Our installations scale from single-door retrofits up to multi-site enterprise rollouts with hundreds of readers. Common features include anti-passback to prevent credential sharing, zone-based access for restricted areas, time-and-attendance integration with your payroll system, and visitor management with pre-registration and badge printing. For high-security zones we configure multi-factor authentication — card plus PIN plus biometric.

We work with established vendors: HID Global, ZKTeco, Suprema, Hikvision and Dahua. Hardware is matched to environment — IP65/IP67-rated outdoor readers for parking, gated communities and construction sites; sleek indoor readers for office lobbies; anti-tamper enclosures where vandalism risk is high.

Integration is where access control becomes more than a door system. We tie it into CCTV (so every door event has a matching camera clip), gate barriers (RFID at the perimeter), intercoms (visitor management), HR systems (auto-deprovision on termination), and fire-alarm systems (auto-unlock on alarm). One-tap site lockdown is configured for emergencies.

Every project includes admin training, documented user accounts, exported credential lists, and a maintenance plan. The handover package covers reader inventory, wiring diagrams, controller configuration backups, and a 24/7 escalation path on our AMC.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Yes — modern readers support Bluetooth and NFC mobile credentials, so users simply tap their phone. We deploy iOS and Android apps with secure credential provisioning, and users can hold multiple sites/buildings in one app.
In most cases yes. Common integrations include Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Bayzat, Zoho People and custom HR platforms via API. We auto-deprovision credentials when an employee is terminated in HR — a critical security control.
Door controllers run on battery backup (typically 4-8 hours). Fire-rated doors fail-safe (unlock) by code; secure doors fail-secure (stay locked). We document the failure mode of every door at design time and align with Dubai Civil Defence regulations.
Yes when deployed responsibly. UAE PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law) requires lawful basis, notice, and proportionality. We configure systems with appropriate consent flows, encrypted template storage and retention limits, and document compliance for audits.
