You can give someone a key but you can not control how they use it.

With technology to-day we can control who we have given access to.
The keys used to day come in all shapes and forms. A few samples are;

• Mag Stripe
• Bar Code
• Proximity
• Key Fob
• Smart Card
• Sensor Key
• Prox Pass
• Micro Prox
• Biometric Finger
• Biometric Hand
• Retina
• Vascular
• Card & Pin #

We can Print on the cards and use them as photo ID we can add additional data and the cards can be used in cafeterias, Point of Sale, the use and diversity goes on, When one is lost all we have to do is cancel it.

With Access systems we can control Entry, Exits, Time frames, Schedules, Holidays.
Access is not only restricted to main entry Doors, it can be to all doors, office, Closets, Electrical rooms, Filing Cabinets, Key cabinets, anything that can be controlled by a switch and each time the switch is activated we can also tie in an output. This can signal alarms, Lights, Cameras, and the list goes on.
To days access systems are so diverse one system can talk to another. Via a hard wiring connection, a phone call, a network connection, the internet.
When you to arrive at you office in Toronto the Boss in Texas can also tell your late. The same access card your Boss used to get into his own office can also let him into your office when he comes to visit.

The integration is endless and it is becoming standard to integrate to other systems. Duress, Alarm, Camera, Intercom systems.
