RFID (Tag / Fob / Swipe)
Utilising RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), this technology harnesses radio waves to bridge communication between an RFID reader and its tag, typically found on an access card or fob.
PIN Codes / Keypad
Relying on PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) – these numeric passcodes serve as a straightforward method to grant entry.
Biometric Technologies
This advanced tech capitalises on distinct biological characteristics – from fingerprints and facial patterns to retina and palm scans – to authenticate access.

RFID Readers
RFID readers communicate with RFID tags embedded in access cards or fobs to grant or deny access.
Biometric Scanners
Biometric scanners validate the biometric data presented by the user.
