An access control system is a critical security solution used in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities to regulate and monitor entry. It uses devices such as keycards, PIN pads, biometric readers, or mobile credentials to ensure only authorized individuals can access specific areas. When a user presents their credential, the system verifies permissions and logs the event, enhancing security, auditability, and operational control. Advanced systems integrate with CCTV, intrusion alarms, and building management platforms, enabling real-time monitoring, remote access management, and automated lockdown features. Access control strengthens safety, protects assets, and ensures compliance with organizational and regulatory security standards.
