Popular Types of Access Control Systems

We’re often asked what types of access control systems are available, so here’s a quick summary of some of the more popular options.

1. Keyless Entry Systems

Keyless entry systems use a numeric keypad or touchscreen to allow code-based access. This type of system allows homeowners the flexibility to create one-time use codes for guests or service technicians. If you have a pet sitter, for example, you could give them a certain code that could be turned off when their services aren’t needed. Homeowners have complete control and management of their code system.

2. Smart Locks

Smart locks combine keyless entry with wireless technology. With a smartphone app, you can manage a smart lock remotely to lock or unlock your doors from anywhere. There are additional features available with smart locks, like temporary access codes and integration with smart home systems, but options will vary based on the brand and style of the smart lock.

3. Biometric Systems

For maximum security, biometric systems use unique personal identifiers like fingerprints or facial recognition to open doors. This technology is more popular in the commercial space, but can also be found in some homes. Biometric access systems could also be used in specific home areas to protect sensitive documents, firearms, fine jewelry, artwork, and collectibles.

4. Video Doorbells with Access Features

Video doorbells let you see, speak to, and allow access to visitors from your smartphone. A video doorbell can be an integrated system that pairs the doorbell with a smart lock for complete remote control.

What Are the Benefits of Access Control?

Access control systems provide more than security. They also add convenience and offer flexible solutions for homeowners on the go. Here are some additional benefits of access control for homeowners:

• Enhanced Safety: Know who’s entering your home at all times.

• Remote Management: Control your locks and monitor access from anywhere.

• Convenience: No more hiding keys under doormats or rushing home to let someone in.

• Customization: Set schedules or permissions for different users.
