How does Access Control work?

Once a system is installed, all doors being controlled will automatically lock when they are closed. Anyone without a PIN or access token are unable to enter. Doors can be set to unlock during a designated time frame. Access may be restricted by time, allowing access to some users at certain times of day or night.

Offline – Standalone Access Control

This type of system may be used to control access on as many or as little integrated doors in a building. Entry is gained when using a pin number or electronic token. A standalone system is programmed as each door, compared to one central PC with the Networked. If tokens need to be barred or codes changed, each door must be updated.

A standalone system work well in small businesses, storage units or sites with limited users.

Token management is simple and the system can be extended easily as requirements change.
