The Quality Assurance Department
The “ENTRAsys GD” is a reliable biometric access control system with weatherproof
housing. Doors can be opened without keys or access cards; users always have their
access authorization on them, namely their fingerprints. The quick and high rate of
recognition of fingerprints (dependant on the complexity of the fingerprints) is a plus
for users. And easy installation and quick programming is standard for SOMMER
products.
