What Is an Access Control System?
An access control system allows businesses to control who can enter specific areas of a building. Instead of traditional keys, employees can use keycards, fobs, mobile apps, or biometric systems to gain access.
These systems improve security, simplify employee management, and help businesses protect sensitive areas.
