What are Access Control Systems?
An access control system is a keyless entry system that gives you total control over your commercial or multi-residential premises by granting physical access to authorized users only. It is an essential part of any security solution. You can customize this system to fit your specific requirements and easily integrate it with other systems such as visitors’ management systems or alarm systems.
An access control system is a technology based on automatic door locks and gates. It authorizes physical access only through proper identification.
Such systems come in many forms:
- Wireless or Wired
- Offine or Online
- Internet Source (WiFi) or Radio Source (RFID)
- Passive (without batteries) or Active (with batteries)
