Some hotels use access cards with magnetic stripes (referred to as “magstripe cards”). . But there are other alternatives for hotel access control such as proximity cards (RFID), punched access cards, photo ID cards, barcode cards, and smart cards. These can be used to enter rooms, use elevators and gain access to specific areas of a building. All of these access methods are common parts of traditional access control systems.
Magnetic stripe or swipe cards are a cost-effective option for larger hotels, but they tend to wear out quickly and are less secure than some other options. RFID cards are more durable and affordable
All of the above examples are based on different technologies but provide the same access control functionality. Smart cards can contain a wealth of additional information about the user (regardless of who the card is assigned to). Smart cards can be used to grant the holder access to facilities beyond the hotel room, such as restaurants, gyms, swimming pools, laundry rooms, conference rooms, and any other facility within a building that requires secure access. If a guest has reserved a penthouse suite, on a daily user-only floor, smart cards and advanced door readers can make the process a breeze!
With enhanced security and encryption standards, smart cards can collect information every step of the holder’s journey within the facility and allow hotels to instantly obtain a joint record of all charges, rather than tallying bills in different places in the same building. This simplifies hotel financial management and creates a smoother experience for hotel guests.
Modern hotel access management systems can group door locks with multiple users, providing access to the same group, as well as an audit trail of who opened the door and when. For example, a group could have permission to open a hotel lobby door or staff restroom, but only during certain times of the day if the administrator chooses to enforce specific access time windows.
Different door lock brands correspond to different encryption systems. High-quality card suppliers can provide cards of multiple door lock brands at the same time and ensure that they can be used normally. In addition, in order to cater to the environmental protection concept of today’s society, we also provide multiple door lock brands. A variety of environmentally friendly materials are used to make cards, such as wood, paper, or degradable materials, so that our customers can choose according to their own needs.
