Symmetry Security Management Systems
Access control is the process of controlling who is allowed to go where and when. These are known as access rights. Each person can have different access rights depending on their needs.

The system normally identifies each person by means of a card, which is presented to a reader located at the entrance to each access-controlled area. The system automatically grants or rejects access to the area, depending on the access rights you have set up.

The access rights you set up are automatically downloaded to the control units which perform all local access decisions without PC control.

People who know our product soon appreciate that its access control features are possibly the most flexible and easy to use of any system that is currently available. The user interface provides flexibility without complexity, enabling sophisticated access rights to be set up quickly and easily to match each card holder’s individual needs.

The wealth of features provided by the system, such as the ability to use access codes to create a library of access rights, help you to save time, reduce administration overheads, react more quickly to required changes and customize the system to your exact requirements.

The bulk amendments feature allows access rights to be applied to large numbers of card holders simultaneously.
