This article discusses alternative access control systems to QR codes for tradespeople attending buildings, such as digital key safes, digital fobs, sign-in screens, and facial recognition.
Question: We use QR codes. Are there alternative access control systems for tradespeople attending a building?
Answer: Alternative access control systems are available.
Alternative access control systems are available, each with benefits:
- Digital key safes allow building managers to track when a key safe is opened, eliminating the need for tradespeople to scan a QR code.
- Digital fobs can be issued to tradespeople electronically for limited periods and provide a record of entry and exit times.
- Sign-in digital screens can be placed at the front desk and are a simple way for tradespeople to sign in and out. This system can improve compliance.
- Facial recognition allows tradespeople to access the building without a physical access control device.
Digital key safes and digital fobs offer greater control over access times, while sign-in screens and facial recognition provide a convenient and user-friendly experience. Ultimately, the best access control systems will depend on the specific needs of the building and its occupants.
