Access Control Systems
Smarter access control for entry points — managing who enters, when, and how, with total visibility and security.
Managing Access with Smarter Security
Access control is about more than keeping doors locked. It’s about managing entry points the right way, at the right time. iGuard360° access control systems give you the flexibility to manage entry permissions while maintaining complete oversight.
Whether doors are set to free-access during business hours or secured after hours, iGuard360° ensures that only authorized individuals can gain entry. From front lobbies and production zones to garages and service doors, every access point can be tracked, verified, and recorded — giving you control, visibility, and the assurance that your people and property are protected.
How Access Control Works
At its core, an access control system is designed to manage who can enter and when, granting access when it’s permitted, and denying it when it’s not. Every interaction with the system is logged, creating a detailed record of access-related events that can be reviewed at any time.
When an unauthorized card swipe or denied entry occurs, the system documents it as an exception. While most of these instances are routine, like an employee using the wrong door or an expired credential, iGuard360° can configure exception reports to flag or escalate unusual activity. These reports can also trigger alarm events or send alerts to the Global Security Operations Command Centre for real-time verification.
This balance of automation and human oversight ensures the system works as intended: allowing approved movement, recording every attempt, and raising attention only when it’s truly needed.
This layered approach turns a simple access system into a complete protection solution — one that blends convenience, accountability, and real-time awareness.
Integrated Intelligence for Smarter Control
iGuard360° access control systems can go beyond door management.
The integration with Video Sentry, alarms, and mobile supervision units gives you real-time verification for every access event. It’s a smarter way to secure your environment, ensuring safety without slowing down productivity.
Scenario: Unauthorized Access Attempt in a Manufacturing Facility
Context:
At 6:45 p.m., a manufacturing facility has closed for the day. Production staff have gone home, but a small maintenance crew remains on-site for scheduled equipment servicing. During routine system logging, the iGuard360° access control system records an attempted entry into a restricted storage area using a deactivated access card. The system automatically denies access and notes the event as an exception in the activity report.
The Response:
Event Review
When the exception report flags the denied access, the Global Security Operations Command Centre operator reviews the event and accesses the connected door camera to verify the situation. The footage shows an individual lingering near the secured door and attempting to use the same card multiple times.
Assessment and Coordination
The operator determines there’s no immediate sign of tampering or forced entry, but, as a precaution, contacts the facility’s on-site maintenance supervisor to confirm that no authorized work is scheduled in the area.
Preventive Follow-Up
Once confirmed as an unauthorized attempt, the operator records the event in the daily access control summary and recommends an audit of all issued access credentials. The facility’s security manager later identifies the card as belonging to a former contractor whose permissions were not fully removed from the system.
Verification and Adjustment
Access permissions are updated, and the exception reporting thresholds are refined to automatically notify the Global Security Operations Command Centre if multiple denied attempts occur in short succession, providing earlier insight without unnecessary alarms.
Result:
The event is handled efficiently, without disruption or escalation. By combining precise access control logging, human verification, and Global Security Operations Command Centre oversight, iGuard360° prevents potential breaches while minimizing false alerts.
