Security is no longer just a technical concern - it’s a strategic imperative. Organizations need access control solutions that match the speed and scale of modern operations. Coram’s cloud-based access control platform eliminates the constraints of legacy systems, empowering enterprises with real-time visibility, seamless video integration, and the agility to adapt, expand, and protect from anywhere.

Understanding Access Control

Simply put, access control regulates who can enter or exit a building or specific areas within an organization. Traditional systems rely on local hardware, requiring manual updates and maintenance. In contrast, cloud-based systems provide centralized control and seamless scalability across multiple locations. Coram’s access control solution ensures real-time management, allowing administrators to grant or revoke access instantly, define schedules, and monitor usage remotely.

How Coram's Access Control System Works

Coram’s cloud-based system streamlines access management. When a user attempts to enter a restricted area, they can authenticate through an access card, a mobile app, or Bluetooth. The card reader sends this data to Coram’s access control board, which is responsible for verifying credentials.

The system then checks access permissions stored in the cloud and determines whether the user should be granted or denied entry. Regardless of the outcome, every access attempt is logged and can be reviewed in real time via Coram’s web-based dashboard or mobile app.

Even if the internet goes down, the local access control board retains stored permissions, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The system also supports battery backups, keeping doors operational even during power outages. This makes Coram’s solution not only more efficient but also more reliable than traditional on-premise access control systems.

Boost Security by Integrating with Coram NVR

Coram’s access control system integrates seamlessly with Coram’s Network Video Recorder (NVR) system, greatly enhancing security capabilities:

Real-time Identity Verification: Cameras positioned at entry points instantly verify if the individual using a badge matches the registered user, alerting administrators immediately if discrepancies are detected.
Tailgating Prevention: Integrated video analytics detect scenarios where multiple individuals attempt entry on a single badge swipe, promptly alerting administrators to potential security breaches.

Coram’s cloud-based access control provides modern organizations with an advanced, scalable, and reliable security solution that combines ease of management, powerful customization, and robust integration capabilities. By removing the limitations inherent in traditional on-premise solutions, Coram significantly enhances operational efficiency, security, and overall peace of mind.
