Security access control in the past had one major disadvantage – that of not integrating the various systems. Although CCTV cameras have been installed at many of the business premises, they still used a security guard with a book to control access to the building or premises. Security access at residential estates and educational facilities had to be upgraded.

A person entering the premise normally had to write their details in a book. In some instances the vehicle registration number would be dotted down. The problem with this method is that false information could easily be supplied. Although a CCTV system could be used to monitor the access, it was not connected to a specific security access system. This limited the control abilities and as such many intruders still succeeded in passing through gates or doors without ever giving up their real identity. Since nothing other than a registration number and telephone number as supplied by the person could be used to track the person should there be a problem, companies and residential estates were left vulnerable.

By introducing a system that makes use of the physical attributes of a person for identification and verification, a person can be traced. The information can also be stored for future access or prevention of access purposes. In addition a more exact time can now be logged for entrance and exits ensuring more control. False information is eliminated and with the system connected to the CCTV system, real time monitoring can be done.
