Modern security has long gone beyond a guard at the entrance and a paper logbook. Today, the key role in access control is played by electronic badges - a technological solution that increases the level of protection, controllability and transparency of processes on site.
Company Prime Guard actively implements modern access control systems (ACS) and electronic badges at various facilities: business centers, residential complexes, industrial enterprises, warehouses and retail facilities. In this article we will analyze current trends, novelties and advantages of electronic badgesand their role in a comprehensive security system.
What is an electronic pass
An electronic pass is a means of identification that allows you to control the entry and exit of people or vehicles to a facility. Unlike traditional badges, electronic systems:
automatically record events;
limit access by time and zone;
eliminate human error;
integrated with security and IT systems.
Electronic badges are used as part of ACS and work in conjunction with physical security, video surveillance and remote control security.
Why electronic badges are displacing traditional systems
Paper badges, lists and verbal authorizations have long ceased to meet security requirements. Their main disadvantages are:
are easily counterfeited;
don't give a complete picture of the movements;
do not allow for prompt restriction of access;
don't automatically record violations.
Electronic badges solve these problems and give the owner of the facility full access control in real time.
