ACCESS CONTROL IS ABOUT BOTH CONVENIENCE AND SECURITY.
Keys can be lost or cut, and give no history on who they were last used by.
Businesses quite often need to rekey when a key is lost or an employee leaves. Rekeying is costly and time consuming. With access control, a card or keyfob can be added or removed with the click of a mouse.
Almost all access control now incorporates a card, keyfob, or keypad that activates a door strike for a few seconds, allowing entry into a building.
When the card or keyfob is presented to the reader, as shown to the left, software records which card opened the door and the date and time.
Access or permission levels can easily be assigned to each card user, allowing access only at specific times of day. Holiday schedules and door unlock schedules can also be easily programmed.
The heart of the access control system is the door controller. A door controller typically controls up to two doors. It is the device that is responsible for opening the door when the card is presented, and it provides power to the lock and the reader.
When a card or a schedule is added or removed in the software, the controller is updated and stores this information. The software does not need to be online for the system to work
