What is an Access Control Reader?
An access control reader ‘reads’ the data presented and cross checks it with the access control software database to see if the data is compatible with that door. The door will then either open or remain closed depending on the outcome.
The most common access control readers are those which read access control cards. These can be proximity cards, contact cards or magnetic stripe card readers.
However, access control readers can come in the form of a keypad which works by typing in the correct code to gain access or a biometric reader which works by your fingerprint or facial recognition.
For more secure buildings some require a two-factor authentication reader. The most common is a keypad and RFID card.
