Information about Access Badge
An access badge is the identification used to gain entry to the office or other places that have automated access controlled entry points. Entry points may be doors, turnstiles, parking gates or other controlled entry points.
Access badges use various technologies to identify the holder of the badge to the access control system. The most common technologies are magnetic stripe, proximity, barcode, smart cards and various biometric devices.
The access badge contains information in digital form that is decoded by a card reader. The information is transmitted to the access control system, a computer system that makes access control decisions based on information about the holder of the access badge. If the credential has the proper privilege the access control system unlocks the controlled access point. Information about the transaction is stored in the system for later retrieval; reports may be generated that reveal who entered what portal at what time.
