Access control is one of those systems that looks simple on a product page and turns out to be an engineering job on site: the reader is the cheap part, and the door hardware, the wiring, the power supply, the fail-safe behaviour and the software administration are where projects succeed or fail. This page is written to help you specify the job properly before you take quotes. Start with what you actually need, because attendance and access are two different problems that are often sold as one product. A biometric attendance system records who came and when, feeds payroll and leave software, and does not need to control any door at all. An access control system decides who may open which door at what time, and needs a lock, a power supply, an exit device and a safe failure mode. Many businesses in Delhi buy an attendance terminal, bolt a lock to it, and discover that they have no exit button, no fire release, no backup and no way to open the door when the panel dies. Decide first whether you are buying attendance, access, or a properly engineered combination. Credential choice comes next and it matters more than brand. Fingerprint readers are cheap and familiar but struggle with worn, wet, dry or oily fingers, which is a genuine problem on factory floors and in kitchens. RFID cards and fobs are fast, hygienic and cheap to reissue but can be shared or lost, so they suit low-risk doors and visitor use. Face recognition has become the default for new attendance installs since the pandemic because it is contactless and fast, though it needs sensible lighting and a proper mounting height. PIN keypads are useful as a second factor and terrible as a sole one because codes get shared. Mobile and Bluetooth credentials are increasingly used in offices around the commercial blocks of Nehru Place, Okhla, Connaught Place and Aerocity and remove the card-reissue problem entirely. For high-security rooms — server rooms, cash rooms, laboratories, pharmacies — combine two factors rather than upgrading to a more expensive single one. Door hardware is where most installations go wrong. An electromagnetic lock holds by power and releases when power is cut, which is fail-safe and correct for most escape routes. An electric strike or a solenoid bolt can be fail-secure, which keeps the door locked during a power failure and is correct for a store room but dangerous on a fire exit. Whatever is chosen, you need a request-to-exit button or sensor inside, a mechanical override, and an emergency break-glass release on any door on an escape route. You also need a door closer that actually shuts the door, because a magnetic lock on a door that does not close is decoration. Local fire and building rules take precedence over convenience on every escape door, and a competent installer will tell you that before you ask. In Delhi the requirement pattern is clear. Around the commercial blocks of Nehru Place, Okhla, Connaught Place and Aerocity, the work is multi-door office access with attendance integration, visitor passes, lift access control and reporting into HR software. In the DDA and builder-floor societies of Dwarka, Rohini, Vasant Kunj and the Noida-Gurgaon fringe, societies are installing resident RFID or face-based gate access, vehicle tag readers on boom barriers, and staff attendance for housekeeping and security teams. In the older colonies of Lajpat Nagar, Karol Bagh, Greater Kailash and Model Town, smaller commercial premises, clinics and schools are moving from register books to a single attendance terminal. Factories and warehouses need rugged readers, turnstiles and shift-wise reporting. Extreme summer heat above 45 degrees and winter fog stress outdoor panels, so sun-shaded mounting and surge protection are non-negotiable in Delhi, and access control without a correctly sized SMPS and battery is a system that locks people in or leaves doors open at the worst moment. The software side deserves the same scrutiny as the hardware. Ask whether the system is standalone, meaning users are enrolled at the device, or networked with a central server or cloud console. Ask how many users and how many logs the device stores, what happens when that limit is reached, and how data is exported. Ask whether attendance rules — shifts, grace periods, overtime, half-days, holiday calendars — are configured in the software or must be handled manually in payroll. Ask whether the vendor charges an annual licence, and what the renewal costs in year two and three. A terminal that costs less and requires three hours of manual reconciliation every month is the expensive option. Biometric data carries legal responsibility, and this is now a real compliance issue in India rather than a theoretical one. Fingerprint and face templates are sensitive personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection framework. Collect only what you need, tell employees clearly what is stored and why, keep templates encrypted on the device or server rather than as raw images where the product allows it, restrict admin access to named people, and have a documented process for deleting an employee's biometric record when they leave. Offer a non-biometric alternative such as a card where a person objects, and never use Aadhaar-based authentication unless you are legally entitled to. Ask any vendor how their system stores templates and how deletion works — a vendor who cannot answer is a vendor to avoid. Finally, plan for administration and handover from day one. Someone in your organisation must own enrolment, deactivation and reporting, and that person needs training and written credentials that are not shared. Insist on an as-built door schedule listing every door, its lock type, fail behaviour, reader, exit device and power source. Insist on labelled cabling and a documented admin password handover. Agree an AMC with a response time, because a failed access controller is a business-stopping fault, not a cosmetic one.
