Access control system
An access control system is a security system which manages and regulates the access to a specific location or building electronically. It grants or declines entry into any given location or building via a computer based or standalone information system. The processes that govern an Access Control Systems are: identification, authentication, authorization and accountability.

Fundamental Elements of A Building Access Control System Installation. 

1. Credentials - This is the most important part of the building access control system that contains identification information. 

2. Reader or Keypad - This is the receiver of the information which has been provided by the credential. Used for verification such as automated teller machines, finger print readers, iris scanner, facial recognition, vein recognition.

3. Locking Device -These types of devices are electrically operated just like electrified locks, electric strikes and also electromagnetic gadgets. These are generally equipment which keeps a door closed until someone gains entry.

4. Door Position Switch - This shows the status of the area or a facility that has an access control system. Sample status is close or open, vacant or occupied.

5. Request to Exit Device (REX) - This device is used to identify or alert if a person is going to exit a protected area.

6. Controller - This is the server connected with any access control system. This is actually the one doing all of the decisions in giving entry. They will collect and also save all the information given.

7. User Interface - This the software used for the interaction between the person and the system. The goal of this software program is to permit the person to give information, create authorization, and evaluate the information system.

There some important factors to be considered in evaluating the most suitable building access control system installation. They're timing, tracking, battery backup, template layouts along with badge printing. 

Building Access Control Systems - How They Function and Their Use

1. Access cards And Readers

-Card Readers: 
These are one of the most widely used access controls. They are easy to operate as well as convenient, as if the card is lost, the card can be easily deactivated. Later,  new  cards  can  be  issued  to use the card reader. These cards can hold different other details like photographs, and identification number for additional security.

-Contact less cards
Access control becomes stress-free  and even safer  with  the use of contact-less ID cards. It is  easier, safe and secure  because the contact-less smart cards may use numerous other technologies, like RF ID, holographic  lamentation, microchips  and  serialized  bar codes in its design. Contact  less  ID cards can offer higher measures of access controller and information, and a strictly reduced rate 
of fake and duplication.

-Proximity Cards: 
They are also inexpensive and efficient. They  can  be used from a distance of 1" to 3" without requiring the involvement of the user. Their basic function is done through the scanning of the card by the sensors. 

- Automobile Cards:
These are another type of Proximity Cards. They are specially used for parking facilities within a building. 

2. Keypads: 
These are inexpensive security options efficient in a single door access control. As they are the least expensive, they are least secure too

3. Key-less locks
Locks without keys or the key-less locks are very effective too. As the term indicates, it is a lock that does not have a key and that is why the users do not run into the risk of losing their keys ever. The lawful owners of the property or building can manage the lock with the help of a unique identification either with the help of a magnetic card or a Pin entry

4. Biometric Locks:
These are  probably  the  most  sophisticated access systems that are chiefly installed in government buildings or high profile private buildings. The  system  comes  with a  very powerful  scanner  which records some unique identification codes of the entrants of the building. These codes can be either fingerprints or retina. The system is very unique and powerful.

Benefits

Use of Technology
Biometric technology products allow finger-print scanning, and allow only authorized individuals to access the building. They enable management to permit only specified individuals access to asset lockers and other secure zones. 

Alert Notification
Electronic access systems also provide alert notifications that warn of any misuse or of a card not being returned on time. They send alert notifications via mobile phone or computer. This security feature not only enhances the security of a facility, but also provides higher-level accessing and tracking capabilities

Cost Effective
It  is  almost  unimaginable  to  control  and  manage  the  security  of  a  huge building manually. More security personnel have to be 
deployed to check each individual thoroughly. Not only is it impractical, but it costs a lot of money. Automated building access control system installation reduces the burden of such manual security checking and have, in turn, reduced costs.
