Access control is made available to all departments on campus without having to write bid specs and evaluate systems by virtue of connecting to the Tiger 1 Office Host Server. This is done because the Picture Perfect system has been made a Sole Source university product.
The following items reflect what the program and its policies are should any department desire to become part of the University Campus wide system.
- Once a proposal has been written and approved, the department will acquire a PO and send it to the vendor directly.
- The department will then contact DCIT network services to acquire the needed IP address and have needed ports installed for system Micros.
- The Tiger1 office will receive once a year fee of $160.00 per reader to cover server cost, automated programming, software maintenance, connecting to Host server for system data.
- Any department system administration programming (software) done by the Tiger 1 office will be charged on an hourly rate of $50.00 per hour.
- Any department system service maintenance (hardware repairs) done by the Tiger 1 office will be charged on an hourly rate of $50.00 per hour.
- There will be no-charge for phone support given to department administrators needing assistance with in house programming for their areas.
- Extra or temporary blank ID cards used by departments will cost $5.00 per ID card and department labels can be added to them for identification.
- All student workers needed access that have a People Soft account are required to have an employee ID badge and these cost$10.00 each.
The Card Access System allows occupants of a University residence hall or University buildings to enter designated doors with an access card. You may use other doors to exit the building, but you may enter the building only through designated doors by using your access card.
Entry doors are equipped with a 30-second time-delay device that allows you to enter or leave the building without an alarm sounding. However, if a door is held open more than 30 seconds or propped open, a local alarm is activated to alert building residents. Simultaneously, the University Police receive an alert at their headquarters.
It's important for all residents of a building to be considerate and cooperative and make sure that doors are closed, not only for the safety and security of all the residents, but so that other residents aren't disturbed by alarms that sound when doors are held or propped open . You may use other doors to exit the building, but you may enter the building only through designated doors by using your access card.
The Card Access System is easy to use. Simply pass your card in front of the red light (from right to left) located at each proximity reader entrance sign (green and white with oak trim), and the light will change to green. At the same time, you will hear a click of the lock mechanism, which enables you to turn the entrance door handle and open the door. You may then enter the building. As the door shuts and locks, the system resets automatically
If you are a University employee and your card access is not working please contact your building security coordinator for access. If you live in university housing please contact you RD or the Tiger 1 Card office. If you are having problems and are not sure who to call please contact the Tiger 1 Card Office.
Report misplaced or stolen cards immediately to the Tiger 1Card office during normal business hours at 864-656-0763, or, after 4:30 p.m. or on the weekend, Please go to our web site to suspend your card. You must be registered with our ON-Line card Office. If you have not registered please do so and suspend your card. Your old card will be deactivated and you will be issued a new card. A fee of $20 is charged for the replacement of an access card.
If you find your card before a new one is issued your old card can be reinstated. After the replacement is issues the old card can no longer be used in our system.
The Access Card System works only if everyone follows the guidelines that promote security. To make sure everyone in your building and the buildings you visit remains safe and secure, remember:
- Don't prop open doors to residence halls.
- Don't lend your access card to someone else or borrow someone else's card.
- Don't let someone else into the building just because that person is standing right behind you as you let yourself in or is standing outside the door as you let yourself out. Also, when entering or exiting the building, don't allow a person outside to catch the door and hold it open to "let himself/herself in." The only way to ensure security is to make sure the door closes behind you, so that everyone entering the building has to either use an access card or call a resident to be let inside. Not holding the door open for others may seem rude, but it's the only way to make sure that everyone who enters the building has a legitimate reason to be inside.
- Don't expect or ask people entering or leaving the building to hold the door open for you. Use your access card if you live there, or, if you don't, call a resident to let you in.
- Be alert and aware. Report any strange, suspicious or unusual behavior or events outside your residence to University Police.
- If the security system is not working, report the problem and be patient until it is working again.
- Don't try to use a card to access any building other than the one for which it was issued. If you keep trying to open another residence-hall door with your own access card, the card will deactivate and no longer work for your own door.
- Report lost cards immediately to either your residential community area office or to University Police.
- Don't expose your card to extreme heat, open flame or water. Check clothes pockets before laundering to make sure you don't put it through the wash. Avoid leaving it on a dashboard in the sun.

- Proximity Cards
Proximity cards provide reliable and convenient access. Proximity technology allows fast, accurate reading while offering token read ranges from 4 to 6 inches, dependant on the type of proximity reader and proximity token being used. Since these cards do not require physical contact with the reader, they are virtually maintenance and wear-free.
With Proximity Cards a magnetic signal is induced into a coil embedded into the card and this transmits the encoded card number back to the reader to be read and authorized, as appropriate.
Proximity Cards are primarily used for hands free operation where user is not required to present a token to a specific reader. The 125 KHz radio frequency read range is a significant issue when considering this technology as it is subject to installed surroundings and varies from position to position.
- Magnetic Stripe
Magnetic stripe recording is very similar to audio and video recording. The basic differences, of course, are that the magnetic material is applied to a paper or plastic card or ticket and data is stored on the stripe instead of sound or images. Information can be recorded, read, and re-recorded many times.
Data is recorded in "tracks" in much the same way sound is recorded on audio cassettes. Multiple tracks are available on each stripe and multiple stripes may be used on a card or ticket to increase data capacity. There are three track locations on the Binghamton University ID card magnetic stripe. These tracks contain reference data for card access, the BUC$ debit card and your meal plan.
- Biometrics (Future Implementation)
The term biometrics refers primarily to the measurement of physiological and behavioral characteristics to automatically identify people. Physiological biometrics is based on measurements and data derived from direct measurement of a part of the human body. Iris-scan, fingerprint, retina-scan, hand geometry, and facial recognition are leading physiological biometrics.
Behavioral characteristics are based on an action taken by an individual. Behavioral biometrics is based on measurements and data derived from an action, and indirectly measure characteristics of the human body. Keystroke-scan, voice recognition and signature-scan are leading behavioral biometric technologies.
To ensure the durability of your card, please take a few simple precautions:
- Do not use the card in any fashion that may damage it.
- Do not punch holes in the card (don't allow anyone else, including campus departments, to do so either).
- Do not place the card on stereo equipment, computers or near any magnetic fields.
- Do not use for any other purpose other than for access control or identification.
- Do not leave in direct sunlight, for example on the dash of a car.
- Do not expose to extreme heat or open flame. For example, clothes dryers or clothes irons.
- Do not expose to organic solvents, thinners, mineral spirits, etc.
- Do not machine wash.
- Do not use as an ice scraper or scraping tool.
- Do not crimp, bend, or twist card.
- Do not re-laminate.
- Do not immerse in alcohol, Isopropyl, ethanol, methyl, etc.
- Do not bite or bend your card.
- Do not pound with a pen or tool.
