Types of Access Control Systems and Their Benefits | Queen

Access control systems vary by the way they verify identity, and each type has its own strengths. This guide helps you choose the right one for your place.

Fingerprint access

Uses each person's unique fingerprint for high security that cannot be copied. Ideal for companies and sensitive areas.

• High accuracy and security
• Can link to time attendance
• Great for medium-traffic doors

Card & face & PIN access

RFID cards are fast for busy places, face recognition is touch-free, and PIN codes are flexible and can be changed anytime; multiple methods can be combined.

• RFID card: fast and practical
• Face: touch-free and quick
• PIN & hybrid: flexible and secure

FAQ

Which type suits my company?

It depends on the number of doors, traffic and required security level; Queen recommends the best fit after a free survey.

The main types, and where each fits

Choosing access control starts with knowing the types rather than the brands. Each type was designed for a different situation, and matching the type to the situation matters more than the price. The wrong type in the wrong place is behind most systems that disappoint — not weak hardware.

Before you decide

Ask for a survey before a price — a number given over the phone is a guess that changes on site. For this system in particular, confirm the lock is fail-safe on any emergency exit and fail-secure on stores, and that a battery backup keeps the door controllable through a power cut. And ask what happens the day something fails: who responds, how fast, and whether the handover left you the documentation to let anyone service the system.
