Integrating Biometric Access Control with CCTV Door Interlocks
Table of Contents
Why Access Control and CCTV Should Work Together
Standalone access control systems log card swipes or face scans, but cannot visually verify if a user passed a badge to an unauthorized colleague (tailgating). Integrating access control with CCTV cameras provides visual video verification for every door entry.
How Integrated Access Control Systems Function
When a biometric reader or RFID card grants access, the system automatically triggers the nearest PTZ CCTV camera to record a high-definition video bookmark of the entry event, logging user ID, timestamp, and video clip together.
Mantrap Door Interlocks for High-Security Areas
For server rooms, cash vaults, and research labs, two-door Mantrap Interlock systems enforce that Door 2 cannot open until Door 1 is fully locked and verified by biometric authentication.
