A standalone access control system is often used in smaller offices or remote locations. This helps avoid the need of complex wiring which can sometimes be expensive. With standalone access control systems in your business, a small unit is wired onto the individual door where you want or need access control. It is important to remember that not every door needs access control. There is also no need for all doors to be connected to the PC network either.
Members of your team that have access to the business can be added to the system. Keys, cards, biometric details or codes can then be given to them. This will ensure quick, easy and effective access to those that need it. Those people that want to gain entrance to the building but are not approved will have to request that access to be able to enter.
A standalone access control system, also known as offline access control, will often be used for smaller projects. It is an access control system that can be implemented quickly and easily, while being relatively cost effective. The only things required are a power supply, a card reader or keypad and a proximity tag or card.
The standalone access control system is then attached the individual doors as required. Those with the tag or card can then open the door.
