We have selected four models of
proximity card reader to link with HRPay and ATAMS. Each of these has it's own
advantages and all will provide the same functionality when linked with
HRPay.
However, if you also wish to use the card reader for access control,
the basic Pegasus readers can only control one door, whereas the two
AVEA readers can control 8 doors and allow you to implement "restricted
areas" by allowing/denying access to specific doors. In addition, the
AVEA readers can store a larger amount of events. For example, assuming
that you have 20 employees, each of whom enters and exits three times
per day, the Pegasus readers will store from about 10 days to two
month's worth of data,
whereas the AVEA readers would store over a year's worth of data.
An additional feature of the AVEA readers is the ability to email entry
and exit data to another location, e.g. Head Office, in real time or
periodically. They can also control a camera to capture a picture of
the employee clocking in/out and include this in the email if required.
If you only wish to automate your payroll, and possibly control one
door, the Pegasus readers supplied in our basic packages
will be more than adequate. However, if you intend to implement a full
access control system with restricted zones, you should consider one of
the AVEA readers.
The following is a brief comparison of the four reader types:
