WHY IS ACCESS CONTROL IMPORTANT?
Access control is an integral part of physical security systems, and multiple companies are developing cutting edge technologies to meet the need for more sophisticated and secure access technology. The goal is to make access as smooth and convenient as possible for individuals with authorisation, without compromising security aimed at preventing unwanted intruders.

SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION MEANS INCREASED CONVENIENCE
One trend is the use of smartphones as a security badge for access control. Instead of having to carry a separate ID token that might get lost or forgotten, employees can check in with a device they are already carrying. 

ACCESS CONTROL: WHAT ARE THE FUTURE POSSIBILITIES?
A continued trend towards system integration and increasing levels of interoperability will make it easier to monitor and control access at all times. Video analytics cameras can be used to create a system that allows only one person at a time to access a secured area. This virtually eliminates the risk of unauthorised personnel sneaking into an area by tailing someone else. Biometric scanners will become more affordable and widely adopted.
