Site Inspection for a Finger Print Biometric Supply and Installation Service at AMOSUP SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL CEBU.
Project Overview
Client: AMOSUP Seamen’s Hospital Cebu
Location: Pier 3 Area, Cebu City, Philippines
Objective:
To install the ZKTeco F18 Fingerprint Biometric Access Control System integrated with magnetic door locking mechanisms to:
- Improve personnel access control
- Enhance physical security for sensitive areas such as laboratories, records rooms, and medicine storage
- Maintain automated logs for employee attendance and entry tracking
- Minimize unauthorized access while maintaining user convenience

Main Administrative Entrance
Purpose: Primary entrance for office staff; requires strict access during working hours.
Observations:
- Solid wooden double-door setup with glass panels.
- Manual lock system; no current electronic security.
- Available power socket within 1.5 meters.
- Near central LAN switch for easy network integration.
Recommendations:
- Install ZKTeco F18 at 1.3m from ground level on the right-side wall.
- Mount magnetic lock at the door header with aluminum brackets.
- Use reinforced wiring conduit to protect exposed cable paths.
- Time-based access schedule to allow free exit during office hours, and fingerprint-only access beyond operating hours.
Safety and Compliance Considerations
- Fire Safety: All magnetic locks will be fail-safe—doors automatically unlock when power is cut. Emergency exit buttons will be placed near each secured door.
- Manual Override: Critical areas will be equipped with key overrides or emergency release.
- Data Privacy: Fingerprint data is encrypted, stored locally, and managed in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173).
- Accessibility: ADA-compliant placement of devices for inclusivity.
Conclusion
The site inspection at AMOSUP Seamen’s Hospital Cebu confirmed the suitability of deploying the ZKTeco F18 biometric system with magnetic door locks in multiple critical access points across the hospital premises. The integration of biometric access control provides a robust, secure, and scalable solution that aligns with the hospital’s operational requirements and safety protocols.
By implementing this system, the hospital will not only enhance its security framework but also streamline administrative functions such as attendance monitoring and access auditing. The proposed system is future-proof, allowing for integration with timekeeping software and expansion into other branches or departments if needed.
