Electronic access control: how it can help
Electronic access control can be an integral part of the overall security system of an organisation and be used to keep the property and people safe. Generally, authorised users have access via fobs, passcodes or touchless methods, while door access systems will allow visitors to enter once they are given permission to do so.
Access control systems are used in a wide range of settings including residential blocks, office buildings, hospital wards, schools and universities. ?The benefits are primarily: the management of access so there is less of a danger of lost or stolen keys, and that you can view access activity.
The main features of an electronic access control system that can help an organisation?include:
