Card Capture Access Control | Evolve UK
Secure Visitor & Contractor Pass Management
Card Capture Access Control | Evolve UK is a simple yet highly effective solution for managing visitor and contractor access while significantly reducing the cost and risk associated with lost access cards. By capturing temporary passes on exit, this system improves overall building security and ensures greater accountability across controlled access points.
Designed to work with paper passes or reusable access cards, the card capture unit can operate as a standalone solution or integrate seamlessly with an organisation’s existing access control infrastructure.
Flexible Integration with Existing Access Control Systems
The Evolve UK Card Capture Access Control unit is compatible with any make of proximity card reader, which can be mounted directly inside the device. Operation is straightforward—only a dry contact output signal from the access control system is required to confirm card validity.
Once a valid card signal is received:
The card is securely captured and deposited into the internal collection box
If no valid signal is received within a pre-set time:
The card is automatically returned to the user
This intelligent process ensures that only authorised cards are retained, while invalid or unrecognised cards are safely rejected.
Slim, Standalone Design for Easy Installation
The standalone housing features a slim, space-saving profile, allowing it to be installed beside or directly in front of most pedestrian entrance control systems, including:
Speed gates
Swing gates
Optical turnstiles
Full height turnstiles
Its compact design makes it ideal for retrofitting into existing access control layouts without structural modification.
Wide Card Compatibility
The system is designed to accept:
Cards, card holders, and pin clips up to 100mm wide
Temporary contractor or visitor passes
For correct operation, lanyards must be removed from the card holder before insertion.
Secure & Low-Maintenance Operation
A lockable bottom access panel provides secure storage for captured cards while allowing quick and easy access for authorised staff. The internal mechanism is designed for reliability and straightforward maintenance, reducing operational downtime and simplifying card collection routines.
