The outcome you are buying
Entry becomes deliberate and recorded instead of open and anonymous.
The problems this solves
Uncontrolled visitor entry
Anyone able to walk in makes every other measure weaker.
Keys that cannot be revoked
Lost keys and shared locks leave no way to close a gap quickly.
No audit trail
Without entry records, investigations and accountability stall.
Too many doors, no central management
Mechanical and mixed systems become impossible to administer consistently.
How it works in practice
Identify
Credentials establish who is requesting entry.
Decide
Controllers apply access rules per door, gate and time.
Record
Entries are logged for audit and review.
Integrate
Access works alongside intercoms, CCTV and alarms as one layer.

Common questions
Can access control work on existing gates?
Usually yes — controllers and readers are commonly integrated with existing gate motors. Compatibility is confirmed during assessment.
What happens when a credential is lost?
It is revoked centrally and a replacement issued — no rekeying required. That is a core advantage over mechanical keys.
Can we see who entered and when?
Yes, controller logs provide an audit trail. Reporting depth depends on the system selected during design.
Does it integrate with CCTV?
Where systems allow, entry events can be associated with camera coverage — strengthening both verification and investigation.
