Access Control Cards, Tags and Readers
Access control cards provide a secure and convenient way to manage entry to buildings, rooms and restricted areas. Used alongside an access control system, an access control card acts as a digital credential to authenticate users and control access to authorised areas.
Johnson Controls offers a range of access control hardware, including card readers and access control cards for different security and identification requirements. Available technologies include proximity, RFID, magnetic-stripe and smart cards, as well as multi-technology and mobile access solutions.
The right card and reader combination can help organisations manage employee and visitor access while supporting wider physical access control requirements. Access control cards can also be managed through access control software, allowing credentials to be activated, updated or deactivated as required.
Benefits of Access Control Cards and Card Readers
Key benefits include:
- Improved building security - Access control cards can be assigned to individual users, helping organisations restrict entry to authorised employees, visitors or contractors.
- Flexible access permissions - User permissions can be configured for specific buildings, floors, departments or restricted areas depending on individual requirements.
- Quick activation and deactivation - Lost, stolen or unused access cards can be disabled through the access control system without the need to replace locks or issue new physical keys.
- Greater visibility of building access - Access control systems can create a record of card usage, helping organisations understand when and where authorised users enter controlled areas.
- Easy credential management - Access cards can be issued, updated or revoked centrally, making it easier to manage employees, contractors and temporary visitors.
- Support for multiple card reader technologies - Organisations can choose from RFID, proximity, magnetic-stripe, smart card and other card reader technologies to suit different security and operational requirements.
- Scalable for different environments - Access control card systems can support anything from individual restricted areas to larger multi-site access control deployments.
- Integration with wider security systems - Card readers can form part of a broader access control and security solution, helping organisations manage building security through a more connected approach.
