Welcome to a Keyless Future with Mobile Credentials

The future of access control is knocking at our door, and guess what? It’s keyless.  Businesses are embracing this new dawn, leaving the traditional behind.  When you consider a new physical access control system, wouldn’t your prefer one that’s ready for the future and compatible with mobile devices?

Ever wondered how contactless mobile access works? Say goodbye to the hassle of key cards and key fobs.  Instead, you download security credentials on your smartphone – it’s that simple. 

The access control operator sends you a link or an app, and voila, you have your credential. Need to issue access credentials to a new employee or contractor? It’s done in a flash. 

Here’s the best part: with a mobile-capable reader, all you need is your phone.  Wave it in front of the reader, and you’re in.  It’s as easy as pie. 

What’s more, smartphone access control systems can team up with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an added layer of security.  Your phone, a pin, or biometric data – it’s your choice. 

The Future is Biometric 

Biometric credentials take things a step further, making physical credentials a thing of the past.  Imagine, no more losing keys or forgetting passcodes.  Your fingerprint, voice pattern, iris, face, even your DNA are your keys now. 

Touchless access control through facial recognition is becoming the norm.  Think about it: if you’re using it to unlock your phone, why not your office door?

Integrating your access control and CCTV systems can offer visual verification.  This multi-factor authentication checks if the person using a credential is who they claim to be.  If not, mobile warning are sent to the security team, nipping unauthorised access in the bud. 

The Cloud is the Limit 

The cloud – it’s not just for storing your photos anymore.  Cloud-based access control systems are revolutionising the way we think about access control.  

The cloud has transformed how we store, manage and process data.  Remember the days of bulky, expensive hardware for on-site data storage? That’s ancient history now.  Cloud-based solutions are more cost-effective, convenient, scalable, and give admins remote management ability, with instant notifications. 

Imagine if your company’s data for 500 staff broke down! The nightmare of collected and re-enrolling all access control cards and reprogramming doors – it’s avoidable with cloud-based systems.  There’s no single point of failure with this database. 

The AI and Machine Learning Revolution 

AI and Machine Learning are not just buzzwords; they’re shaping the future of access control.  They analyse data, identify patterns, predict potential threats and optimise access policies. 

AI can spot unusual behaviour patterns, like multiple unauthorised access attempts or suspicious activity, and alert security teams.  Paired with CCTV systems for visual verification, AI improves accuracy.  Even in low light or with faces partially covered, correct identification is possible. 

While in its infancy now, as AI and Machine Learning continue to advance, their integration into access control systems will become even more sophisticated.  This means greater levels of security and convenience. 

The future of access control is here, and it’s exciting.  Are you ready to step into the future with us?
