Key Card Reader Systems

Key card reader systems allow employees and approved visitors to enter secured areas with a key card, key fob or mobile credential. They are commonly used in offices, schools and healthcare facilities for simple and secure access control.

Continental Access Systems

Continental Access systems let businesses manage access through one central platform. Managers can control user permissions and monitor entry activity across multiple doors or locations, making them a good choice for larger commercial properties.
