Access control systems in Pakistan

Resco designs and installs pass-card and biometric access control systems for offices, factories, hospitals and government buildings in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and across Pakistan.

Overview

Card and biometric access control for every entry point

An access control system in Pakistan has to cover more than the front door: staff entrances, server rooms, plant areas, car parks and lifts all carry different risk levels. Resco designs pass-card and biometric access control around that variation, rather than fitting one reader type to every door.

As the authorised distributor for Virdi (Union Community UBio) in Pakistan, Resco supplies biometric fingerprint, face and iris terminals running Virdi's UBio Alpeta software, alongside pass-card readers, photo imaging and badging for sites that need a visual credential as well as an electronic one.

  • Pass-card readers and credentials for staff, contractors and visitors
  • Biometric fingerprint, face and iris terminals from Virdi
  • Photo imaging and badging for identity cards
  • Asset tracking, vehicle access and elevator access on the same platform

Capabilities

What a Resco access control system covers

Access control is specified door by door, then brought together on a single credentialing system.

Pass-card systems

Card readers and credentials for staff and contractors, with permissions set by door, time and user group.

Biometric terminals

Virdi fingerprint, face and iris terminals, running UBio Alpeta software, for doors where a card alone is not sufficient.

Photo imaging and badging

On-site capture and printing of photo identity cards linked to the access control database.

Asset tracking

Tracking of tagged equipment and assets alongside personnel access records.

Vehicle and elevator access

Vehicle access credentials and card-controlled elevator floor buttons managed from the same system.

Reporting

Access logs and reports for audit, compliance and incident investigation.

Integration

Access control tied into other Resco systems

Because Resco also installs CCTV, fire alarm and building management systems, access control is not left to work in isolation.

  • A forced door or access violation can trigger a CCTV video pop-up for the nearest camera
  • Access credentials can feed time and attendance and payroll systems, and help prevent credential sharing
  • Access schedules can be coordinated with HVAC and lighting so spaces condition only when occupied
  • Visitor and canteen management can share the same card or biometric credential

How Resco delivers

How a Resco access control project is delivered

Resco follows a consistent lifecycle from assessment through to ongoing support.

  1. Assess

    A security assessment identifies which doors need card, biometric or dual-factor control, and how credentials should be structured.

  2. Design

    Door schedules, wiring diagrams and network topology are documented before installation begins.

  3. Install and commission

    Readers, controllers and biometric terminals are installed, configured and tested door by door.

  4. Support

    Optional maintenance and Karachi-based or on-site training keep the system and its operators up to date.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your answer? Ask our team

Card access control uses a pass-card or fob to identify a user, while biometric access control uses a fingerprint, face or iris scan. Biometric terminals remove the risk of a card being shared or lost, and Resco often combines both on higher-security doors.
