The factory security system is a combination of hardware and software access control equipment, including security gates (tripod, swing barrier, flap barrier), barrier gates, surveillance cameras, and card reader/biometric systems. In Vietnam, the demand for installing this system increases by 25-30% annually, especially in manufacturing factories, logistics, and industrial parks, to control personnel, prevent unauthorized access, and optimize operations.
Factory site survey process before installation
The site survey is the first and most important step. The technician needs to record the number of entry/exit points, people/hour flow, electrical and network infrastructure characteristics, as well as specific security requirements for each area (production, warehouse, office).
A standard survey session typically lasts 2-4 hours, including:
- Measuring gate, corridor, and walkway dimensions (width, height, wall thickness).
- Checking the power supply: Is it stable? Is UPS needed? 15-20% backup capacity.
- Assessing network infrastructure: Is LAN/WiFi available? Distance from the rack cabinet to the installation location.
- Analyzing traffic flow: peak hours, required number of lanes, one-way or two-way direction.
- Identifying specific requirements: dust resistance, water resistance (IP54 or higher), heat resistance if near a production furnace.
Designing a suitable security solution for the factory
The solution design must be based on the survey results, selecting the appropriate type of security gate and auxiliary equipment. For factories, prioritize durable gate models that operate stably in harsh environments.

Commonly used security gate types:
| Gate Type | Features | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Tripod turnstile | 3 mechanical arms, low cost, quick installation | Personnel entrances, volume < 500 people/shift |
| Swing barrier | Glass or stainless steel wings, high aesthetics, impact resistant | Office areas, reception |
| Flap barrier | Plastic or glass wings, high throughput speed (40-60 people/minute) | Main entrances, peak hours |
| Full height turnstile | 1.8-2.2m high, absolute anti-climbing | Warehouse areas, bonded warehouses, electronics factories |
| Barrier gate | Arm length 3-6m, remote control | Truck gates, main entry/exit gates |
Choosing the correct gate type helps reduce 30-40% of maintenance costs compared to installing the wrong type. Additionally, integration with RFID card readers, fingerprint, or facial recognition systems is needed depending on the security level.
Selecting security gate equipment and accessories
Security gate equipment includes the main gate (tripod, swing, flap, full height) and accessories: card readers, controllers, power supplies, rack cabinets, signal cables. Equipment quality determines 70% of system stability.
Some typical products from Việt POS:
- Tripod turnstile TS2000 Pro — popular tripod model for small to medium factories, integrated card reader, 1 million cycle load capacity.
- Swing barrier ZOJE B202 — tempered glass wings, suitable for reception and office areas.
- Full height turnstile FHT2300 — anti-climbing, used for warehouses and sensitive areas.
- Barrier gate PB2000 Series — 4m arm, controlled by remote or sensor.
- RFID card reader — compatible with multiple standards (EM, Mifare, HID), reading range 3-10cm.
When selecting equipment, pay attention to IP rating (dust/water resistance), operating temperature (-10°C to 50°C), and warranty terms. ZOJE and Mars equipment all have 12-24 month warranties, with readily available spare parts.
Factory security system installation
Installation includes steps: positioning, drilling, cabling, mounting the gate, connecting power and network, installing readers and controllers. Average installation time is 2-5 days depending on scale.
Detailed installation process:
- Positioning and marking — determine gate, controller cabinet, and cable route locations. Use a laser measure for accuracy.
- Drilling and cabling — drill anchor bolt holes into the concrete floor (10-15cm deep). Run signal cables (RS485, TCP/IP) and power cables (24V DC or 220V AC) in anti-interference conduits.
- Mounting and securing the gate — use M10-M12 bolts, tighten with 40-60 Nm torque. Check level with a spirit level.
- Power and network connection — connect power via a standard 24V/5A power supply, connect LAN network to the switch. Mount card readers and controllers in the rack cabinet.
- Mechanical check — manually test the gate, check open/close travel, anti-pinch sensors.
Software programming and configuration
After hardware installation, the programming and configuration of the access control software is the decisive factor for system functionality. The software allows permission setting, history tracking, and report generation.
Main tasks:
- Setting gate parameters: opening time (3-10 seconds), automatic/semi-automatic mode, entry/exit direction.
- Registering cards/fingerprints/faces for personnel: at least 2 backup cards per person.
- Assigning permissions by shift and area: e.g., workers can only access the production area, managers can access the warehouse.
- Configuring alerts: alarm for intrusion, gate open too long, or unknown card.
- Integrating with time attendance and IP camera systems: synchronize entry/exit data with surveillance images.
The software typically comes with the controller, supports a Vietnamese interface, and can be managed remotely via web or app. Periodic configuration backup (every 1-2 weeks) helps with quick recovery in case of failure.
System acceptance and handover process
Acceptance is the final step to ensure the system operates according to design and meets security requirements. The acceptance process usually lasts 1-2 days, with the participation of the investor and technicians.
Acceptance items:
- Mechanical check: gate opens/closes smoothly, no jamming, no wobbling. Noise level < 60dB.
- Electrical check: stable power supply, no voltage drop, wires not hot. UPS operates for at least 15 minutes during power loss.
- Software check: 100% accurate card reading (test 50-100 cards), complete log recording, correct reports.
- Integration check: gate alarms for unknown cards, camera records synchronized with entry/exit events.
- Document handover: wiring diagram, operation manual, warranty information, spare parts list.
After acceptance, the technician will provide operation training for factory personnel (30-60 minutes) and provide an emergency support hotline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a factory security system?
Installation time depends on scale: for a factory with 2-4 gates, it usually takes 3-5 days. This includes 1 day for survey, 1 day for design, 2-3 days for installation, and 1 day for programming and acceptance. Large systems (over 10 gates) may take 7-14 days.
What is the cost of installing a factory security system?
Costs range from 15-50 million VND for a basic tripod gate (including gate, card reader, controller, installation). Full height or swing barrier gates cost 30-80 million VND. A system for a 500-1000m2 factory typically requires an investment of 80-200 million VND.
Is periodic maintenance required for security gates?
Yes. Periodic maintenance every 3-6 months helps extend equipment life. Tasks include: cleaning sensors, lubricating mechanical shafts, checking bolts, updating firmware, testing UPS battery. Maintenance costs are typically 5-10% of equipment value per year.
How to choose the right type of security gate for a factory?
It depends on people/hour flow, security level, and budget. If flow is < 500 people/shift, use a tripod. If aesthetics and impact resistance are needed, use a swing barrier. If the warehouse area requires anti-climbing, use a full height turnstile. Contact Việt POS for specific consultation.
Can the security system integrate with cameras and time attendance?
Yes. Most security gate controllers support TCP/IP and RS485 protocols, allowing integration with IP cameras (Hikvision, Dahua) and time attendance software. Entry/exit data is automatically synchronized, enabling personnel and security management on a single platform.
