Presence Sensing Mats for Access Control and Security

Larco manufactures presence-sensing mat systems used in access control and business security. Access control generally means restricting the number of people accessing an entry portal by ensuring only one person is in the portal when access is granted.

Typical access media include card readers, retina scanners, facial recognition systems or fingerprint scanners. Restricting access to the portal becomes much easier using a Larco Dual Active Mat System. Dual Active Mats Systems have two distinct zones or areas that can be used to monitor:

  • Number of people are in the portal prior to accessing the reader or scanner
  • Detect when the person to be scanned or read is in the correct location.

If an attempt is made to access a portal by more than the prescribed number of people Larco's Dual Active Mat System can signal:

  • Portal control circuitry to deactivate the scanning device(s).
  • Initiate a lock down of the portal.
  • Notify security personnel of a violation.
  • Begin video surveillance of the portal and surrounding areas.

Rugged, impervious to liquids, and designed for the specific portal they are to fill. Larco's Dual Active Mat Systems are the answer to your access security needs. For more information on this option, request Technical Bulletin 15.

Odd shaped areas or portal? Pie shaped, oval, ellipse square and triangle mats are no problem. For more information on products for security portals, visit our Revolving Door Products page.
