Summary
ALOA CEU Credit Offered  
An electronic access control (EAC) system is ideally used as a part of a fully integrated facility management system. In such a system, EAC is interfaced and integrated with fire safety/life safety systems, video surveillance systems (CCTV), communications systems, and nonsecurity systems such as HVAC. In an integrated system, EAC systems allow users to access various areas or limited areas.. They can track access and provide attendance records. As a safety feature and for emergency response situations, they can determine where persons are located in facilities. In general, EAC systems are very flexible and strides in technology are making them even more so.


These are some of the technological and logistical solutions our experts will discuss:

  • Types of access control system to choose from: Keypad systems are typically the cheapest and biometric access control systems are the most expensive
  • Licensing and servicing fees: Ongoing costs to operate the door access control system
  • Installation considerations: Number of access points, if any electrical upgrades are required, and whether the client decides to use an integrated security system with video surveillance and/or alarms
  • Choosing the door access system that best works best for the client
  • Cloud-based vs. traditional access control
  • Server hosting options
  • Types of integration
