Question 1

What's the difference between this and a digital lock?

Accepted Answer

A digital lock secures one door. Access control manages many doors and many people together — who may enter which door, at what times — and keeps a log of every entry. If you need records and central control, you need access control.

Question 2

Can it work with the attendance system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same card or fingerprint can control the door and feed attendance records, so staff do not have to punch in separately. We configure both together where you want it.

Question 3

What happens during a power cut?

Accepted Answer

Access control is fitted with battery backup, and the door release behaviour in a power failure is chosen deliberately — fail-safe or fail-secure — depending on whether the door is also a fire exit. We will explain the choice for each door.

Question 4

Can we add more doors later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We plan the panel capacity and cable routes with future doors in mind, so adding one later is a small job rather than a rebuild.

Question 5

Can the same system handle staff attendance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the point of a smart access control system. The same fingerprint, face or card that opens the door also records attendance, so staff never punch in separately. Attendance, late-in, early-out and overtime reports export straight out for payroll.

Question 6

Will it work if a worker's fingerprint doesn't read well?

Accepted Answer

Manual labour, age and dry skin can all make fingerprints hard to read. For those sites we recommend face recognition or a card as the primary method, or enrol two fingers per person as a fallback. We flag this during the survey rather than after installation.

Question 7

Does it work across more than one branch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where the branches are networked. Access rights and attendance records from each location can be consolidated so you manage the whole organisation in one place.

Question 8

Is the fingerprint image stored?

Accepted Answer

No. These systems store a mathematical template of the fingerprint, not a picture of it, and the template cannot be turned back into a usable fingerprint image.
