Enjoy reliable security with cloud-based access control
In principle, cloud-based access control systems work much in the same way that conventional server-based systems do—a central framework controls the entryways throughout a facility and a log within the framework maintains who is permitted access. That could be through registered mobile phones—the preferred option for most cloud-based system users—or smart cards or fobs. Once these credentials are presented in the entryway, the system allows the individual to enter.
The advantage of a cloud-based access control system over a traditional one lies in where the framework resides—the former being in an outside data center, while the latter is housed inside the facility. Having the system reside in a remote location assures the cloud-based system is hosted by some of the most fortified data centers available today and that the access control system remains secure.
