1. What is a physical access control system?

A physical access control system (PACS) is a security solution that manages and controls access to physical spaces, ensuring only authorized individuals can enter certain areas. This can include systems with keyless entry, biometric authentication, keycards, or access codes in combination with electrified locking hardware.

2. How do I know which access control system is right for my business?

The right system depends on your specific needs. Factors to consider include the size of your business, the level of security required, and whether you need remote management. COR Security can help assess your requirements and recommend a system tailored to your needs.

3. Can I add more doors or locations to my system later?

Yes! COR Security cloud-based access control systems are scalable. You can start with one door and easily expand to additional doors or even multiple locations as your business grows.

4. What types of access credentials can I use?

Access credentials can vary depending on the system. Some options include:

• Keycards or Key Fobs

• Biometric (Fingerprint, Face Recognition, Iris Scan)

• Mobile App (Bluetooth, NFC)

• Keypad Codes

You can choose the option that best fits your needs.

5. How secure is a cloud-based access control system?

Cloud-based systems are highly secure, as they use encryption and multi-factor authentication to protect data. They also allow you to manage access remotely, providing flexibility and real-time monitoring.
