What Is an Access Control System?
Access control systems are electronic security solutions that manage and restrict access to buildings, rooms, and secure areas. Instead of relying on physical keys, authorised users gain access through credentials such as:
- Keycards
- Access fobs
- PIN codes
- Mobile phones
- Biometric readers
- Video door entry systems
By controlling and monitoring entry points, businesses can improve security, reduce risk, and maintain full visibility of movement throughout their premises.
