The ideal Access control system should offer a secure method of card or token control, using strong mechanically reliable and trouble free locks, all under the watchful supervision of a PC running user friendly software. The software should record all activities and provide easily defined reports, while showing alarms or other invalid card conditions.

A range of card and reader types is available, from the most common "mag stripe" card -similar to a credit card, to high security proximity or Weigand cards.- even hand geometry readers are used for high security risks.

Readers can be obvious or discrete, and cards can have user ID photos and details printed on them.

Be sure to seek professional advice as weak points in an access control system, such as a poor choice of locks, can cause endless trouble and frustration to the system owner.
