Door access control by iDLink Systems
Hardware gets the system through the door. The dashboard, compliance and support we provide are what keep it running.
Mobile and cloud access
Grant or revoke access instantly from anywhere via our secure cloud dashboard or mobile app. No on-premise servers required.
Biometric and RFID options
Choose from facial recognition with anti-spoofing, fingerprint scanners or RFID card readers based on your security needs.
HR and payroll integration
Seamlessly sync attendance data with your existing HR software, simplifying payroll processing and MOM compliance.
100% PDPA compliant
Your employees' biometric data is encrypted end to end and stored securely, fully adhering to Singapore's PDPA regulations.
Works with existing doors
Our systems can be integrated with existing magnetic locks, dropbolts and gate systems, saving you costly renovation fees.
Singapore-based support
Local technicians ready to deploy across the island for rapid troubleshooting and maintenance, just a call away.
Securing diverse environments
From SMEs to enterprise infrastructure, our systems are deployed where security matters most.
Offices and commercial units
Facial recognition gives staff and regular visitors seamless, contactless access at the front door, with visitor management on the same reader network so reception can issue a temporary credential without touching the back-end system.
Condominiums and MCSTs
Resident credentials sync against the management office's unit list, so move-outs and tenancy changes revoke access the same day.
Factories and warehouses
Access logs double as a basic attendance record, useful for shift verification without a separate clocking system.
Government and institutional sites
Built for environments where security and compliance carry the highest stakes, with layered authentication and a complete audit trail on every door.
Healthcare facilities
Restricted zones such as pharmacies and patient records rooms get a separate access tier from general ward and visitor areas.
Data centres
Server room and rack-level access is logged individually, supporting the audit requirements most colocation contracts call for.
Hotels and F&B outlets
Staff turnover is usually high in this segment, so credentials are issued and revoked per shift without reprogramming locks.
SME offices
Cost-effective fingerprint and card systems sized for small to medium teams, with room to expand as headcount grows.
Types of door access control solutions
From basic card readers to high-assurance biometrics. Select by risk level, credential type and budget, or mix tiers across different zones in the same building.
Entry level
Lowest cost · best for SMEs and secondary doors
PIN / keypad
No credential to issue or lose, just a code. Cheapest option per door, best as a backup rather than the primary lock.
RFID card access
Low cost per door, familiar to visitors and tenants. Often the first layer before adding biometrics.
QR code access
A scannable code sent ahead of time, usually for visitors or short-term contractors. No hardware to issue, expires on its own.
Standard biometric
Mid-range · suited to most commercial offices
Fingerprint scanner
Sub-second verification, no card to lose or share. Suited to staff entrances and time attendance points.
Facial recognition
Contactless entry for lobbies and turnstiles. Works alongside mask detection and anti-spoofing checks.
Mobile credential
Bluetooth / NFC. Phone replaces card. Issue and revoke credentials remotely.
Advanced / multi-site
Enterprise-ready · centralised management
Cloud-based access control
Manage multiple doors and sites from one web dashboard. No on-premise server.
Multi-factor authentication
Two credentials together, such as card plus fingerprint. Standard for restricted zones.
Licence plate recognition
Matches plates at barriers or gantries. Common at carpark entries and loading bays.
High security
Finance · data centres · government
Iris recognition
Reads the iris pattern from a short distance without contact. Used where fingerprint wear from gloves or manual work is a problem.
Palm vein recognition
Reads vein patterns beneath the skin. The hardest credential to spoof, used in finance and server rooms.
Rack access (server racks)
Locks at the individual cabinet rather than just the room door. Common in data centres and shared server rooms where different tenants share one space.

FAQs about door access control systems
Cost depends on door count, credential type and cabling complexity. A single-door card reader setup sits at the lower end. Multi-door biometric systems with a centralised controller cost more overall but less per door at scale. We provide a detailed, customised quote in SGD after the site survey rather than a generic price list, since wiring conditions vary from block to block.
Fingerprint, facial and palm vein templates are stored as encrypted mathematical representations, not raw images, and access is restricted to the building's own controller or server. We configure data retention and access permissions in line with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act during setup.
In most cases, yes. Access control panels can trigger CCTV recording on a granted or denied event, and tie into intruder alarm zones so the alarm disarms automatically on valid entry. Compatibility depends on your existing hardware's protocol, which the site survey will confirm.
In most cases, yes. Our systems are designed to integrate with standard electromagnetic locks, electric strike locks and dropbolts. During our free site survey, we will confirm compatibility and advise if any minor hardware upgrades are needed.
A single entry point with existing cabling can be fitted in a day. Multi-door systems with new cabling runs typically take one to two weeks from survey to handover, scheduled around the building's operating hours to minimise disruption.
Our systems are designed with Singapore's building safety standards in mind. For main entrance glass doors using magnetic locks, we configure them as "Fail-Safe", meaning the doors automatically unlock when power is cut, allowing safe evacuation.
Yes. Upon completion of installation, we conduct a mandatory handover session. We will train your designated administrators on how to use the cloud dashboard, add and remove users, generate reports, manage visitor passes and troubleshoot basic issues.
Yes, particularly with cloud-based controllers. A single dashboard can manage credentials, permissions and logs across several sites, useful for businesses with more than one office, warehouse or branch location, without needing separate on-site servers at each.
