Access Control Systems

What is access control?
The term access control refers to the practice of restricting entrance to a property, a building, or a room to authorized persons. Physical access control can be achieved by a human, through mechanical means such as locks and keys, or through electronic access control means such as proximity cards, key fobs or keypad. Access control systems become very useful in commercial & institutional applications when key management is required. A user may be granted access to a certain door at a particular time of day, an employee may denied access to various departments by implementing a versitile security door access control system. Basically 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.

Mechanical lock & key restrictions solved by access control systems

A locked door is usually opened using a mechanical key, Most doors are configured this way. Mechanical locks and keys do not allow restriction of the key holder to specific times dates or zones. Mechanical locks and keys do not log in users and provide who and what door was specifically used at what time and how many times. Most mechanical keys can be easily copied for just a few bucks or given to an unauthorized person. When a mechanical key is lost or the key holder is no longer authorized to enter the prmises being locked, the locks must be re-keyed or cylinder replaced. Access control systms by Keri Systems, Honeywell Security Access, or Rosslare Security solve this problem with computerized access control systems that can be programmed locally using a computer or remotely using the internet. Electronic access control uses computers to solve the limitations of mechanical locks and keys. A wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access based on the credential presented. When access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and the transaction is recorded creating a log for review via software. When access is refused, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded. Access control systems can also monitor the door and alarm for attempted forced entry or if a door is held open too long after being unlocked.
