The main task of the access control system is to provide control of access to a given territory: who, when and where is let to pass, including the identification of persons and / or vehicles. In addition, the access control system helps to solve work time logging tasks. It can also be integrated with accounting, personnel management, video surveillance, security and fire alarm systems.

In order to provide additional security for access control at critical facilities, the network of access control devices is installed physically separate from other information networks.

The solution can contain either or both software and hardware that help businesses to facilitate the customer's access to service, to plan and manage customer flow and staff, and to gather data to improve the customer experience.
