What Are Access Control Systems?
Definition and Core Purpose
When you think about building security, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Security guards? Locked doors? Maybe surveillance cameras? While all of those play a role, access control systems are the real gatekeepers of modern building security. They determine who gets in, when they get in, and where they’re allowed to go once inside. In simple terms, an access control system is a security solution that regulates entry to physical or digital spaces using authentication methods.
