and are used to restrict access to areas or information. Access Control
in some form is an excepted part of our daily lives, and the most common
forms of access control being key cards and credit cards.
Electronic access
control allows for the easy management of people or products through
doorways or in facilities such as warehouses.
To implement access
control at your premises you will require:
1. Validating devises-
these are your cards and the card reader.
2. Devices that will physically lock and unlock the door and monitor
