Access control FAQs

Our experts will help you find the right door readers and intercoms, access control hardware, wireless locks, access credentials and integrations to protect your footprint and streamline your access control operations.
Access control systems work by authenticating, authorizing and granting access at specific entry points. An entry credential, such as a key card, mobile phone or fingerprint, is presented to a reader device, which authenticates that the credential is valid, authorizes that the credential is permitted for the specific location and then allows the door or barrier to open. Access control credentials, permissions and entry points can be configured with modern management software platforms, and reader devices are integrated with door hardware to trigger locking and unlocking.
Access control is an essential element of security because it can help protect property, people and sensitive data from external and internal threats by ensuring that only authorized individuals are able to enter certain areas. The importance of access control also lies in streamlining day-to-day building entry, making commercial office access and visitor management simpler and more secure.
Common components of an access control security system include:
- Readers: Attached to entry points to verify a user’s credentials
- Key cards or credentials: Issued to users to present at barrier points
- Management software: Enables system administrators to add users, adjust permissions and issue or revoke credentials
- Hardware: Integrates with software and readers to allow entry points to physically open
The trend in modern access control systems is toward:
- Improved physical signal configuration, motion sensing technology and enhanced mobile experiences for touchless entry and access technology
- Remote security and remote access management
- Standardized APIs and open platforms to unify visitor management, building management and analytics tools into one unified security system
- More AI-powered functionality, such as using generative AI to create intelligent access policies or enabling security operators to query systems using natural language
- Multifactor authentication (MFA)
- More cloud-based security and access control solutions
- Attribute and rule-based access systems
- All-in-one access control devices
