Choosing the Right Access Control System for Your Environment

Access control systems are now a key part of safety in modern environments—protecting everything from apartment complexes and offices to data centres and construction sites. With rising crime rates in New Zealand, including a jump in violent crime victims from 185,000 to 215,000 in just one year, the need for secure, reliable entry systems is growing fast.

As cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch expand, and demand for secure access increases, New Zealand is adopting advanced systems such as cloud-based and biometric technologies. But not all access control needs are the same. From military bases to schools, every setting calls for a tailored solution.

In this article, we’ll look at the main types of access control systems, how they work, and where they’re best used.
