WHAT IS ACCESS CONTROL?
Access control is a fundamental building block of any security system. It ranges from simple mechanical
locks with metal keys to highly sophisticated electronic identification devices controlling electrical locking systems.
An access control system should be carefully planned with the help of a qualified expert in system design and implementation.
The proper access control system ensures that you know exactly who is coming and going at any time. As access control specialists, we will work with you to ensure that your security system matches your true needs.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
An access control system includes identification credentials (or biometric characteristics),
a device to recognize the credential or
biometric characteristics, network communication devices and software. Biometric access control
is more fully explained in the Biometric Authentication section on this website.
ACCESS CONTROL AUTHENTICATION METHODS
One of the most important decisions you must make in choosing an access control system is the identification method.
This will determine the level of security and convenience in your new system.
For example, the highest form of authentication is Biometric measurements. It verifies that the person who is seeking access is the same person who originally enrolled in the system and was authorized to enter the protected area. Whereas access cards can be lost or stolen and keypad codes can be copied or easily disseminated biometric measuring devices require personal identification (also see the magnetic card reader section of this website).
Card based identification systems use a variety of technologies embedded in the card to recognize that card. The most convenient card technology is proximity because, as the name implies, the card must only be near the reader to be recognized.
Additional information on proximity cards and readers can be found in this website. It allows the user to carry the card on a convenient neck strap and gain access to a protected space by simply holding the card near the reader. This also permits the reader to be installed behind drywall or inside other protective or decorative housings for security or aesthetic purposes.

ACCESS CONTROL CONFIGURATION AND SOFTWARE
There is also a variety of network configurations and software capabilities in today’s access control systems.
Some can use existing communications networks thereby reducing wiring costs. These network configurations and the
devices that support them can bring flexibility to system design allowing the system to interface to a wide range of other
systems to provide a complete solution to security management. One such solution is sharing card identity and badging
information with a Time and Attendance system.
More information on a Time and Attendance interface can also be found in this website.
