Charles Schnabolk, a pioneer in the realm of emerging security, has five decades of notable insight involving every iteration of technological change. His noteworthy career involves working as a consulting engineer and designing security systems for hundreds of the nation’s most complex facilities. To this end, Schnabolk shares his vast knowledge on security in his latest book “Engineering Practices & Security Technology”. His detailed and thought provoking descriptions on the security industry and access control systems should be a lesson worth learning given that we could all benefit from what Mr. Schnabolk has to say.

Given the ever changing environment of the security industry, Schnabolk beautifully details a revolutionary product that breaks away from the standard access control system. His three point reference excellently details the first access control system that does not require the expensive and labor-intensive labor involved in the hard-wired card reader access control systems. The new technology is known as none other than CyberLock.

  1. “Access control systems are traditionally considered a system that uses some form of a formatted card to ID the person that is seeking entry through a monitored door. Each time the card is swiped in the reader unit mounted on the door lock, the event is recorded and an audit trail created on the centrally located computer terminal. Since thousands of employees and visitors used the reader every day, the only reason the event is recorded is for use in a future investigation and to reject an authorized card. No one actually sits in front of a screen and watches the user name fly by.
  2. The revolutionary concept depicted on the image above is the first access control system that does not require the expensive and labor-intensive labor involved in the hard-wired card reader access control systems. In an urban city the cost could exceed $4,000 a reader and some buildings had 400 to over a thousand readers. The new technology is known as CyberLock and requires no wiring or skilled labor to install and it will duplicate all the features of the traditional reader systems. The only installation labor is the five minutes needed to replace the lock cylinder with a cylinder that encapsulates a microprocessor to read the programmable key when inserted into the new cylinder.
  3. There is no power or battery in the cylinder – all power is contained in the small computerized key and the ID of the user is stored in both the key ad the cylinder as well as the audit trail. It is a remarkable and inexpensive alternative to the card reader systems while duplicating all the security features found in any full-blown access control system. The cost is less than 1/10th the cost of the reader units and it can even convert a standard Padlock into an access control system since it requires no internal power or wires.”
