What Are Access Control Systems?
Access control systems move beyond traditional locks and keys, implementing sophisticated technology to permit or restrict access based on pre-set permissions. These systems provide a seamless, secure way to manage entry into specified areas.
Types of Access Control Inputs (Readers)
RFID (Tag / Fob / Swipe)
Utilising RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), this technology harnesses radio waves to bridge communication between an RFID reader and its tag, typically found on an access card or fob.
PIN Codes / Keypad
Relying on PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) – these numeric passcodes serve as a straightforward method to grant entry.
Biometric Technologies
This advanced tech capitalises on distinct biological characteristics – from fingerprints and facial patterns to retina and palm scans – to authenticate access.
Key Components of Physical Access Control Systems
RFID Readers
RFID readers communicate with RFID tags embedded in access cards or fobs to grant or deny access.
