The ability to access and interpret information related to access control systems via the internet has become increasingly prevalent. This paradigm shift involves remotely viewing the status of entry points and, in some cases, controlling them through networked devices. An example includes observing if a barrier is open or closed through a web browser.
Accessibility to this type of information provides several benefits. Real-time monitoring enhances security, allowing for immediate response to unauthorized access attempts. Data logging functionalities provide a historical record for audit trails and incident investigation. Furthermore, remote management simplifies administration, reducing the need for on-site personnel.
