“Say who can go where when”
What is Access Control?
An access control system allows the movement of authorised persons into and out of a building or facility, while detecting and possibly delaying the movement of unauthorised people.
Access control devices are usually positioned around a building or facilities perimeter near vehicular gates, turnstiles, building entry points, doors into rooms and other special areas within a building. Access control allows easy entry to those who are authorised and deters the entry of potential threats.
About Access Control
An access control system needs to verify and authorise entry based on one or more of the following criteria:
- something known (a PIN)
- something possessed (an access card, key fob, token)
- something physically unique (a fingerprint)
An access control system is the “loop hole” in the security system that allows the right people to enter and exit. The better the access control, the less wrong people will be able to enter. PIN numbers are easy to pass around and provide a minimum amount of security at a lower price. Biometrics (eg retina scanners) provides a high level of security at more expensive price.
The best solution weighs the risk and cost of intrusion versus the cost of the security and access control systems.
