Fingerprint technology deployment at HDB blocks - Enhanced security

This post will showcase the Fingerprint technology being used in HDB blocks to enhanced security to the Roof-top and Pump Room. On the right are two photos showing the FS21M being used as access control to the HDB Pump Room and the Roof-top. The site is at Simei in the eastern part of Singapore.
These fingerprint units FS21M are ethernet connected to a 3G modem/router that is linked to the Town Council office using 3G and access controls are managed at the Town Council (TC) office. The authorized person's fingerprint are sent to the FS21M readers at their scheduled time so as the TC is assured of the correct authorized person accessing either pump room or rooftop of respective HDB blocks. This eliminates the needs to have stong locks and multiple keys which enhanced the security and create a saving without the need to duplicate keys and buying more locks.
