Electronic Access Control Systems and How They Work
Action 1st Loss Prevention’s electronic access control systems replace the traditional lock and master key system with keyless access control locks.
These systems provide commercial access control security by allowing entrance with a keypad, card reader, finger print scan, or other biometric access control .
Easy to use software can be used to track who enters the building and when, and permissions can be granted or removed at any time, from anywhere—no need to change commercial locks when keys are lost, or an employee or tenant departs.
Electronic door lock systems allow for automatic open and close times, shift access (employee access during specific times and days), and holiday schedules. They can also be used on multiple doors, providing the ability to track individual employees or tenants throughout the entire building in order to increase both security and accountability.
Types of Keyless Access Control Systems
- Access control keypad: A password or personal identification number (PIN) is entered on a keypad.
- Access control key card reader: A smartcard or key fob is presented to a card reader.
- Biometric access control: A human characteristic, such as a fingerprint, is used to verify identity with a small screen or reader.
The most popular of these three options today is the Access Control key card system. However, all three offer security, convenience and peace of mind.
With any of the above systems, audit trails are created and businesses can keep a record of persons who entered and the exact time they entered. This becomes especially useful if thefts or any incidents occur that can be narrowed down to a specific time period; records can be pulled up to determine who entered the building corresponding to the time period.
What information is stored by the system?
- Date and time card was read, pin was used, or biometric scan occurred
- Name of card holder, pin owner, or person associated with biometric data
- Unique ID number or badge number
- Name of door or reader being accessed
- Access granted/denied condition
This information can stored up to several years.
An electronic access control system can be utilized for all types of commercial buildings and situations including commercial and manufacturing companies, retail stores, hospitals, healthcare agencies and offices, schools, colleges and universities, condominium and apartment complexes, hotels, and public government and social service agencies.
