Securing the modern workplace

Today's commercial facilities — from single-tenancy head offices to multi-site corporate campuses — demand access control that is both stringent and invisible. Suprema's BioStar 2 platform delivers comprehensive secure, reliable and convenient access management that scales from a single door to a global network of 1,000+ access points, all managed from a single web browser without specialist client software.

Meeting commercial industry demands

  • Easy operation with minimal training — BioStar 2's web-based interface is intuitive enough for facility managers and security officers alike, with role-based administration that delegates day-to-day tasks without exposing global settings
  • Stringent access control for high-security areas — biometric multi-factor authentication locks server rooms, boardrooms and executive floors to verified individuals only, with full audit trails
  • Video surveillance integration — native integration with leading VMS platforms links access events to camera footage for rapid incident investigation
  • Sophisticated visitor management — automated visitor registration, self-service kiosks, pre-registration via email and printed badge issuance — all within BioStar 2
  • Mobile credentials — BioStar Air supports smartphone-based access via BLE and NFC, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of physical card issuance
  • Elevator access control — floor-by-floor lift access tied to access levels and time schedules, preventing unauthorised floor access in multi-tenancy buildings
  • Integrated time and attendance — the BioStar 2 T&A module captures accurate attendance data for payroll integration, reducing administrative overhead
