Card Access
Access control is a mechanism for restricting entrance to a building or room to authorized people. Lock and keys provide physical access, but there is no restriction of the key holder to specific times or dates nor do they provide records of the key used on any specific door. An electronic access control system determines who and when authorized people are allowed to enter or exit an area.
