What is Electronic Access Control?

Electronic Access Control (EAC) allows you to access specific doors with different keycards, much like a master key system. The advantage of using key cards, beyond not having to carry around a keyring for your business, is that you can modify permissions for different employees or customers, depending on what access you’d like them to have, as well as cancel cards completely if you lose track of them. You can also get a complete log of who accessed what door at what time.

Having unique keycards with different permissions allows you to give limited access to certain employees or customers. This means that, if you’re a hotel for example, you can quickly re-assign access to a new hotel room with any key card, and remove the old one, making check-in dates simple. Or alternatively, if you’d like a cleaner to have access to all the rooms, you can do that too!

Network vs Single Door:

Electronic Access Control Systems can operate either as a single door, or on a network. Generally, if you’re going to the effort of having EAC installed on your building, we recommend having it installed in a network configuration. A network configuration allows you to remotely modify the card access and have record-keeping of usage, as mentioned above. On the other hand, a single door access allows for multiple cards, but there is no record-keeping, and generally no remote card access modification.

We bring our customers up-to-date on how to use the card programming system to allow them to re-program cards with new permissions or cancel them quickly without the need to call a locksmith.
