 Card Access Systems have become a popular method of reducing long-term facility operating costs while significantly increasing premises security and internal controls. In the simplest of forms, a card access system consists of a credential (often a special Card or Key Fob) that is presented to a Reader, which is connected to an electronic Controller at a door. The controller releases or unlocks the door (if access is allowed) and user-friendly software manages the system.
Most Card Access Systems have a dizzying array of features, capabilities, and options. The combinations of hardware, peripherals, software, and programming—along with the architecture, use and layout of a facility—call for a structured approach to designing the best system for your needs.

A Few Card Access Capabilities |
|
|
|
 • Powerful scheduling features allow for granting access for certain people (or groups of people) for specific days and times, for specific doors, or for specific groups of doors.
• Respond quickly to personnel changes impacting security and operations (promotions, terminations, department changes, etc…)
• Allow for automatic locking and unlocking of specific doors (public entry) at specific times and days.
• Reduce lost key headaches and re-keying of facilities.
• Card Access systems can use existing network (with little bandwith impact), or be network independent—with little impact on functionality.
• Monitor doors for a variety of conditions (forced open, propped open, unauthorized access attempted, etc…)
• Integrate Card Access to Telephone entry, time and attendance, intrusion systems, gate control, video badging, elevator control, CCTV systems, wireless controls, mechanical processes and more.
 • Use extensive system and exception reporting capabilities to track specific activity.
• Multiple site scheduling, reporting and controlling allows for central administration of the card access system.
• Distributed logic allows for individual door controllers to function independently.
