Access Control Authentication

There are many ways your access control system can grant permission to appropriate users. When deciding on a method, you will want to consider convenience, security locations, and security necessities.

Keypad

This is one of the simplest access control methods. Your administrator sets a password based on a set of letters, numbers, and/or symbols, which users can type onto a keypad at the door entryway.

Access card

Card readers are very popular forms of access control. With an access card, you can use the card’s magnetic strip to swipe to gain access. Alternatively, you can use the card’s computer chip to hold close to the card reader to gain access.

Biometric readers

These include fingerprints.

 Security fob

This is a small device, like a key, that has a security chip inside. A user holds it next to the security fob reader to gain access.
