ACCESS CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY
Most Access control systems in Kampala mostly work through methods such as fingerprint scanners, card readers, keypads, or facial recognition terminals which are installed at entry points throughout the facility The process begins with enrolling users into the system. Each user is assigned a unique identifier such as their fingerprints cards or even optical authentication in which the terminal scans the iris of the user ‘These devices capture the user’s credentials during access attempts.
When a user attempts to gain access to a secured area, they present their credentials to the access control device. The device verifies the credentials against the information stored in the system’s database.
Based on the verification results, the access control system makes a decision to either grant or deny access to the user. If the credentials are valid and the user is authorized, access is granted. Otherwise, access is denied, and an alert may be generated.
The access control system maintains a detailed audit trail of all access events, including successful and unsuccessful attempts. This information is logged in the system’s database and can be accessed for reporting, analysis, and compliance purposes
Many access control systems offer remote management capabilities, allowing administrators to configure settings, add or remove users, and monitor access events from a centralized dashboard or software platform access control systems can integrate with other security systems, such as CCTV cameras, alarms, and time and attendance systems, to provide a comprehensive security solution. This integration enables seamless coordination and enhanced security management.
