What are Access Control Card Readers?


Access control readers are essential components of modern security systems, designed to regulate and monitor access to restricted areas or resources. These devices serve as the interface between users and access control systems, verifying credentials such as key cards, biometric data, or PIN codes to determine whether an individual is authorised to enter.

Access control proximity readers can range from simple keypad based systems to sophisticated solutions incorporating fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, or mobile access control credential technologies. By enhancing the precision and reliability of access management, these readers help organisations bolster security, streamline operations, and safeguard sensitive assets from unauthorised access.




Readers: Designed for Access Control Cards and Fobs


Depending on your manufacturer requirements, card readers are designed to work with proximity cards, adhesive sticker tags and access door fobs. They provide secure door entry, working as a standalone product that is compatible with correctly encoded cards and fobs, providing authorisation to correct personnel.

Whether you have magnetic stripe cards, smart cards or contactless cards, these access control card readers lock unauthorised users out from gaining access to confidential data.
