An ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM determines WHO is allowed to enter or exit, WHERE they are allowed to exit or enter, and WHEN they are allowed to enter or exit. These systems will also record a log of all access attempts - both granted and denied - and who made the attempt. They can also monitor these points of entry and send an alarm if the door is being forced open or held open for too long.

Access control significantly increases the protection of your property, personnel, and other sensitive data, and is a valuable addition to any business.

There is a variety of methods granting access to a specific area, which allows you to modify the complexity and cost of the control system to your own specific needs.
