Access Control Systems are designed to allow organisations to control and restrict personnel access to doors, lifts, gates and barrier arms within a property or compound. They are also used to log and monitor the activity of staff and are able to trace personnel movements within a building.
Systems range in size and complexity from single door standalone systems to nationwide systems capable of controlling numerous doors and access points, and staff in multiple buildings from one central location.
Access Control Systems require some form of recognition to permit access. This can be achieved either by PIN number, swipe card, proximity card/fob (tag), or using biometric scans such as finger-print, retina or voice recognition.
Access Control has its advantages over lock and key; if someone was to lose their access control card, it can be simply deleted from the system - far more cost effective than if a master key was lost or fell into the wrong hands, often resulting in having to change every lock barrel and re-issue keys.
