BioStar 2 is a web-based access control management system which is OS-independent and can be used anywhere.

BioStar 2 provides easy application expansion using APIs, a wide range of features through the modularized system architecture, and convenience of use through automatic syncing, enhanced access group setup, etc.

 

 

 

Key Features

 

0268-minusDashboard

 

BioStar 2 provides dashboard and monitoring functions, giving you a quick overview of all major access control events.

The Dashboard shows major access control indicators including various event logs, system information, notices, and alarms as graphs and lists, and the Monitoring page provides information on real-time events, door status, device status, alert history, etc.

 

0268-minusEncrypted Communication

 

The platform carries out its communication using encrypted standards. The web-server feeds information to client devices using the HTTPS protocol for added security. The communication between server and device is protected using AES encryption and uses a unique key for each connection. The data is protected further using SHA encryption for key values such as PIN and passwords.

 

0268-minusAutomatic Syncing of Device and User Information

 

When 'Automatic User Synchronization' is set to 'All Devices' in BioStar 2, the latest version of information can be used by the devices and the server at all times. When a user, door, access group, etc. is added or edited, the information is automatically synced with the server.

 

0268-minusMaster/Slave Devices

 

BioStar 2 allows multiple slave devices to be connected to a single master device via RS-485 connections. This feature allows BioStar 2 to complement existing controller-based systems seamlessly.

 

0268-minusHyper Data Transfer

 

While the devices are synchronizing with the BioStar 1.x server, BioStar blocks user interaction to ensure the data integrity. BioStar 1.x has a synchronous data transfer mechanism, meaning that other devices have to wait while one device is synchronizing with the server. If BioStar 1.x transfers data to dozens of devices, users have to wait for a very long time, because the transfer time increases linearly. To overcome this, BioStar 2 adopted an asynchronous data transfer mechanism, which allows multiple devices to communicate with the server at the same time, ensuring a lot faster data transfer speed.

0268-minusEnhanced Access Group Setup

 

BioStar 2 grants access privileges based on 'access level' and 'access group' settings. The access level is determined by the door group and the schedule, and the access group is determined by the user group and the access level.

The main advantage of using access groups is that different users, doors and schedules can be assigned to each access group.
