Cards, PINs, biometrics — a plain-English guide to picking the right system for your office.
Access control replaces keys with credentials you can grant and revoke in seconds. Here's the primer.
Credentials
Cards and tags are cheapest. PINs are easy but shared. Biometrics are strongest but require care with staff data.
Controllers
Standalone controllers per door are fine for small offices. Networked controllers unlock audit trails and remote management.
Integration
Access control ties naturally into CCTV, alarms and time-and-attendance systems.
