What Is an Access Control System?

These systems replace traditional lock-and-key mechanisms with smarter, auditable, and flexible solutions.
Types of Access Control Systems
- Card-based systems: Use RFID or proximity cards to grant access
- Biometric systems: Utilize fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans for identity verification

- Mobile access: Use smartphones and Bluetooth technology to unlock doors
- Multi-factor authentication: Combine several methods for enhanced security
