What is Access Control?
Access control is the foundation of modern security. It determines who can enter your premises, when they can access it, and where they are allowed to go. From commercial buildings and banks to schools, hospitals, and residential estates, access control protects your assets, employees, and sensitive information.
- Stop unauthorized entry
- Track employee and visitor movement
- Enhance safety and accountability
- Integrate with alarms, CCTV, and fire systems
Access Control Protocols & Technologies
Modern access control uses advanced communication protocols and authentication methods to guarantee security and reliability. Here are the world’s leading technologies:
1. OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol)
- Encryption: Protects credentials and data from hackers
- Two-way communication: Devices and controllers talk to each other for real-time security
- Supervision: Instantly detects tampering and wiring issues
- Scalability: Perfect for large buildings and enterprise systems
2. Wiegand
Wiegand is a widely used legacy protocol. It’s simple, reliable, and used in millions of access control systems worldwide. However, it does not offer encryption, so many organizations are upgrading to OSDP for better security.
3. MIFARE
- Fast tap-and-go access
- High security (uses encryption)
- Flexible: Can store multiple credentials and applications on one card
4. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)
- Contactless convenience
- Fast throughput for high-traffic areas
- Flexible range (short-distance to long-range options)
5. Biometrics
- No cards or codes to lose
- Highest level of security
- Fast and convenient for authorized users
