Some of the different forms of Credentials include:

Cards and Fobs are the most common form of Credentials on the market. Cards and Fobs come in many different brands, frequencies and bits.
A single card or fob can be set up for use across multiple sites. Encrypted cards or fobs ensure total security, allowing access to one building only.
The latest in Credential technology is the use of Smart Phones as Credentials. This allows the phone’s Bluetooth or NFC to transmit the data that is saved on a mobile and is very similar to touch and go internet banking.
The current market leader in Bluetooth technology is HID and their integration with Access Control Systems makes programming seamless.
Biometrics are used in High Security areas to ensure the integrity of access control. A card or fob can be lost or stolen but biometrics provides permanent recognition of the user. It is most commonly set up as a fingerprint scanner, although as technology improves integration with CCTV cameras will see Facial Recognition integrate its way into the Access Control platform.
Licence Plate Recognition has become more popular in business parks and multi storey buildings. This allows the CCTV Camera to send a signal to the Access Control System, recognising the Licence Plate on a vehicle. The licence plate is then registered to a user in the ACS system to allow access at specific times and days.
