Leading Mobile Access Control Solution

An access control system works by identifying, authenticating, and authorizing individuals to grant or deny access to specific areas. It uses methods like key cards, mobile phones or PINs to verify credentials. If the credentials are valid, access is granted; if not, an alert is triggered for the security team. Get our step-by-step guide on how the process works. 

Access control is important because it ensures that only authorized people can enter a building or a secured space. It prevents intruders from gaining access to restricted areas, helping to safeguard your people, property and assets.

Many industries benefit from access control systems. These include: healthcare, education, offices, government, manufacturing, and more.

Best practices include considering the size of your premises and the number of users, deciding on an on-premise or a cloud-based system, understanding if your existing security systems can integrate with an access control system and more. Our Avigilon Access Control Guide can help you follow best practices and answer questions such as, ​‘How do I choose the best access control?’ and ​‘What is the most secure type of access control system?’.

Avigilon’s cloud-based Alta and on-premise Unity access control systems support a variety of common access control methods. They include touchless access, key fobs and cards, keypad access and digital guest passes.
