Access Control System performs 2 primary function (i) Control of all Entry/Exit points from an Area/Facility, and (ii) Tracks and Logs personnel throughout a facility. The Access Control forms a security barrier and hence protects the facilities from unauthorized entries. Every individual working in the facility has unique cards hence trespassing is avoided. The Access can be controlled through various mechanisms such as door locks, turnstiles, sliding doors, retractable barriers and swing gates among others, based on the level of security desired. The basic system will have a reader request to exit switch, lock or turnstile or any other barrier, controller to control all these devices and software for generation of various reports.
