Keys are a liability.

Mobile credentials for staff who always have a phone, cards for shift workers and visitors, PIN for shared low-security spaces, biometrics where a credential genuinely cannot be shared. Most sites end up with a mix, and the system should handle that without complaint.

• Mobile credentials over Bluetooth and NFC
• Encrypted smart cards and fobs
• PIN and keypad for shared areas
• Fingerprint and facial recognition for high-security rooms
• Visitor and contractor passes that expire automatically

Access is a function of who, where, and when. Cleaning crews get the lobby after hours and nothing else. Contractors get one wing for two weeks. Doors unlock for business hours and lock themselves after, and a lockdown reaches every door at once.

• Per-door, per-group, per-schedule permissions
• Automatic unlock and lock by business hours
• Temporary access with an automatic expiry
• Building-wide lockdown from a phone
• Anti-passback and two-person rules where required

Every request, grant, and denial timestamped and searchable, with the camera covering that door attached to the event. When something needs reconstructing, it takes minutes.

• Complete entry and exit logging
• Camera footage linked to each door event
• Alerting on forced doors and doors held open
• Exportable reports for compliance review

Access control intersects fire alarm and egress code, and getting it wrong fails inspection or endangers people. Fail-safe and fail-secure hardware selected per door, tied into fire alarm for automatic release, and ADA-compliant operation throughout.

• Fail-safe and fail-secure selected per opening
• Fire alarm interface for automatic egress release
• ADA-compliant operators and mounting heights
• Request-to-exit and delayed egress where permitted
