MS Facilities Service Overview

Access Control System

An Access Control System (ACS) is a security solution designed to regulate and monitor who can enter or exit a building, room, or area — and when. Instead of traditional keys, ACS uses modern technologies like biometrics, smart cards, PIN codes, or mobile credentials to provide safe and convenient access management.

By replacing physical keys with centralized control, an Access Control System ensures enhanced security, flexibility, and detailed monitoring for businesses, residential complexes, and industrial facilities.

Overview of the components and functions of a typical Access Control System

Type of Access Control System:

Authentication Methods

Access is granted using methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition, RFID cards, PIN codes, or mobile devices. These provide higher security compared to conventional locks and keys.

Control Panels

The control panel acts as the central brain of the system. It verifies user credentials and communicates with door locks, readers, and monitoring software.

Access Points

Doors, turnstiles, or gates are equipped with electronic locks that respond only when the system authorizes an entry.

Monitoring & Reporting

All access attempts — successful or denied — are recorded in real time. Administrators can view logs, generate reports, and track movements, ensuring complete visibility.

Integration with Other Systems

ACS can be integrated with CCTV, fire alarms, and visitor management systems to build a seamless and comprehensive security network.

Scalability

Whether you need to secure a single office, multiple floors, or large multi-site facilities, Access Control Systems are fully scalable to meet present and future requirements.
