Systems that employ passwords, access cards, fingerprint recognition, or time shifts to restrict access to facilities are known as Access Control Systems. Access control systems enable businesses and individuals to safeguard their space by managing who has access to what areas and when, as well as keeping track of who enters and leaves each location.

The days of leaving a building unlocked or giving personnel real keys are long gone. Security has taken on greater significance, and any facility security strategy now must include an access control system. Companies can provide each of their employees with a unique Keycard and guarantee that they can only access the areas that pertain to their role. Students at a school and hotel guests can both benefit from this kind of access management. Additionally, unlike with a physical key, no one needs to retrieve the access card when the person leaves that job. Instead of having to change all the locks, the card may simply be deactivated.

Access Control System overview

A software interface provides centralized control. Each employee has a certain degree of security assigned to them, allowing them access to the locations they need to complete their duties while restricting their access to other areas. A typical setup involves using a card reader of some sort to regulate each entryway. The card, which frequently serves as both an ID badge and access card for the facility, is carried by each individual who has access, and it is scanned at the entryway to provide entry. The advantages over a conventional physical lock are clear. Visitor cards may be given an expiration date and workers' cards can be deactivated if they no longer require entry to the building. Another advantage of an access control system is that information about employee mobility within facilities is collected and saved. This may then be examined both individually and collectively. When an event happens, this information is very useful for determining who was there in person when the occurrence occurred.

The Card Readers and Access Cards that are issued to users - one for each protected doorway - are the core of an Access Control System. Further than that, there is the central control, which can take the form of a system that runs on the cloud and is accessed by a web browser or mobile app or a central machine that runs the program. Additionally, some systems allow for the connection of additional security measures including security cameras, burglar alarms, carbon dioxide monitors, and smoke and fire detectors.

Access control systems are used in a wide variety of facilities where restricting access to specific sections would be advantageous for the security strategy. Governmental, healthcare, military, commercial, educational, and hospitality facilities are among the available categories.
