Access control system
What is an access control and visitor management system?
An access control system decides who can enter which door, gate or floor, and when. A visitor management system does the same for guests, contractors and deliveries.
Instead of keys and paper registers, employees use a fingerprint, face, RFID card or mobile phone. Readers check each credential against the rules you set, open doors, turnstiles or lifts for authorised people, and record every entry and exit. Visitors are pre-registered, checked in at reception or a kiosk, given a time-limited badge and signed out automatically.
For offices, factories, banks, hospitals, universities and housing societies in Pakistan, this means lost keys are no longer a risk, unauthorised people are kept out, and management gets accurate attendance and visitor reports.
Access control answers three questions for every door: who is this, are they allowed here right now, and what happened. Everything else follows from those answers.
How it works
How an access control door works
Watch two people arrive. The employee’s card is valid, so the door opens and the entry is logged. The second card is not, so the door stays locked and the attempt is recorded.
- PresentThe user shows a card, finger, face or phone at the reader.
- VerifyThe controller checks the credential against schedules, zones and rules.
- DecideAuthorised users are let in. Everyone else is refused and the door stays locked.
- LogEvery grant and denial is saved for reports, attendance and investigations.

Compare
Biometric vs RFID card vs mobile credentials
Most sites use a mix. We recommend the right credential for each door, based on security level, traffic and budget.
| Feature | Biometric (finger / face) | RFID card or fob | Mobile credential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security | Very high: cannot be shared or copied | Good, higher with encrypted smart cards | High: encrypted, protected by phone lock |
| Speed | Under 1 second | Instant tap | Tap or hands-free at a distance |
| Cost per user | No card cost | Low card or fob cost | No card cost, licence per user |
| Lost or forgotten | Not possible | Common, block and reissue | Rare, revoke remotely |
| Best for | Attendance, server rooms, labs, banks | Offices, hostels, factories, societies | Modern offices, co-working, multi-site teams |

FAQs
Access control and visitor management FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from HR, admin and security managers.
What is an access control system?
An access control system uses readers, credentials, locks and software to decide who can enter which doors, gates, turnstiles or lifts and when. It opens for authorised people, keeps others out and records every entry and exit.
What is the price of an access control system in Pakistan?
The cost depends on the number of doors, the type of readers (RFID, biometric or face), locks and door hardware, turnstiles or speed gates, software licences, cabling and integration with attendance or CCTV. ASG Systems provides a detailed quotation after a free site survey.
Which is better, biometric or RFID card access?
Biometric access is more secure because fingerprints and faces cannot be shared or lost, which also makes attendance accurate. RFID cards are faster and cheaper per door and suit high-traffic entrances. Many sites use cards at general doors and biometrics at sensitive rooms.
Can the access control system also record staff attendance?
Yes. Every entry and exit can be used as an attendance record, with shifts, late arrivals, overtime and leave, and exported to HR and payroll software.
What is a visitor management system?
A visitor management system replaces the paper register at reception. Visitors are invited in advance, check in with a QR code or CNIC scan, receive a time-limited badge and are signed out automatically, while their host is notified on arrival.
What is the difference between a turnstile and a speed gate?
A tripod turnstile uses rotating arms and is rugged and cost-effective for factories, stadiums and staff gates. A speed gate uses glass wings that open in under a second and suits premium lobbies, hospitals and offices where appearance and throughput matter.
Can I use my mobile phone instead of an access card?
Yes. Mobile credentials let staff open doors with their smartphone over Bluetooth, NFC or QR. Keys are encrypted and can be issued or revoked remotely in seconds.
What happens to doors during a fire or power failure?
Doors are connected to the fire alarm so they release automatically for safe evacuation, and emergency break-glass units are fitted. Controllers and locks run on battery or UPS backup during load shedding, so security continues.
Can access be restricted to certain floors in a lift?
Yes. With elevator integration, readers in the lift only enable the floor buttons a person is allowed to visit, including temporary floor access for visitors.
Can one system manage offices in different cities?
Yes. Centralised access management lets you control doors, users and reports for all branches from one secure web platform, with local admins where needed.
