Access Control technology is a simple and convenient method of allowing authorised personnel access to an entrance or any restricted area. There are three main components to the system:-

The card and reader communicate with each other using RFID signals, so sometimes the cards are referred to as RFID cards. The system works by placing a proximity card or key tag close to a card reader so that its data can be read. These details are then sent to a controller which then verifies if the cardholder should be granted or denied access. If access is granted then an electric or electromagnetic lock is released, or an automatic gate is activated, or a barrier is raised, etc.

Card identity technology extends the benefits of access control security systems to organizations of every size. Whether you manage a few or dozens of doors and restricted areas, you will find it easy and affordable to integrate your access control, time and attendance and other functions into a single card. This technology brings keyless convenience to physical access control security systems.
