How to choose Access Control & Attendance
Start with how people will identify themselves: RFID cards are fast and cheap, fingerprint suits most offices, and face recognition is touchless and quick for large teams. Many devices also record attendance for payroll.
A complete door also needs the right lock (magnetic lock or electric strike), an exit button, a power supply with backup and, on escape routes, a fail-safe setup that releases in an emergency.
Common questions
Fingerprint or face recognition?
Fingerprint is affordable and common in offices; face recognition is touchless and faster for many users, and works better where fingers are often dirty or worn.
Can one device do access control and attendance?
Yes. Most terminals open the door and record attendance; software collects the logs for reports.
What else is needed for a door?
A suitable lock and bracket, an exit button, a power supply and, for escape doors, a fail-safe lock connected to the fire alarm.
