How Does Fob Keyless Entry Enhance Security?
Flexible Access Control
Configure access permissions based on time, date, and individual credentials, allowing you to tailor security settings to a granular level.
Enhance Security with RFID Fob Keyless Entry
Our smartphone and fob entry systems use cutting-edge technology to ensure that each access point is secure. With unique, programmable fobs or cards, your business is protected against unauthorised entry, reducing the risk of internal and external threats.
Cost-Effective Security
Designed with SMEs in mind, our keycard entry systems provide good security without breaking the bank. These systems are a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on quality, giving you maximum protection at a competitive price.
User-Friendly Access
Our fob access control and RFID door entry systems are designed to be straightforward. Each authorised individual is given a fob or keycard, which they use to gain entry to secure areas. Their smartphone can also become their ‘key’. The system logs each entry, providing a complete audit trail of who accessed your premises and when, ensuring total transparency and control.
Simple Software Management
Our fob access control systems allow for easy management of access permissions over which you have full control. With just a few clicks, you can assign, update, or revoke access for any employee or user, ensuring that your security is always up-to-date with your staffing needs.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts
Receive instant notifications of any unauthorised access attempts, ensuring that you can respond to security threats as they happen.
Integrate with CCTV
Link your fob access control system with your security cameras for double verification.
When a card is presented, the software retrieves the video stream from the CCTV camera covering that door.
The door opening event is immediately uploaded to the viewing software so managers can see the full picture.
The Right Access Control System for Your Business
Despite their strengths, fob and card systems are not without vulnerabilities. If knowing exactly who is on site, and when, is important for your business, then you may decide Biometric Access Control is more appropriate. There is also the option to mix different types of readers on the same site.
Advantages of Card and Fob Keyless Entry Systems
Controlled Access: Fob and card systems allow for precise control over who can access certain areas within a building. This can be tailored to individual employees, ensuring that only authorised personnel enter sensitive zones.
Audit Trails: These systems typically provide a log of entries and exits, which can be invaluable for monitoring and reviewing access patterns in the event of a security breach.
Customisation and Scalability: Fob and card systems are highly customisable and can scale with your business. You can easily add or remove users, adjust access levels, and integrate with other security systems like CCTV or alarm systems.
Convenience and Efficiency: Compared to traditional key systems, fobs and cards are more convenient. If a fob or card is lost, it can be deactivated, and a new one issued without the need for changing locks.
Negatives of Fob Keyless Entry Systems
Cloning and Skimming: Cloning and Skimming: One of the most significant risks is the possibility of cloning or skimming. If a hacker intercepts the radio frequency signal or access the fob or card, they can potentially create a duplicate, granting them unauthorised access.
Social Engineering: As with many security systems, the human element is often the weakest link. Employees may unknowingly grant access to unauthorised individuals by lending their fob or card, or by being manipulated into doing so.
Outdated Technology: Older fob and card systems that use less secure protocols can be particularly vulnerable. It is crucial to ensure that your system is using up-to-date encryption and security standards.

What is RFID Fob/ Keycard Access Control?
A fob access control system uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
Each fob contains a unique identifier that is recognised by a reader when the fob is presented.
The system then checks the identifier against a database to determine if the person is authorised to enter the area.
If authorised, the door unlocks; if not, access is denied. The system also logs the entry attempt for future reference.
How much is Fob Access Control?
We know you want a price, right here, right now! Fob access control is our lowest price system. However, the cost of a working solution has to be quoted based on your site, where the readers will be placed, whether there is power, the number of readers, installation time and many more factors. To give you an accurate quote that we will stick to, we need to conduct a site survey. Go on, get in touch..
Can fob access control systems be integrated with other security systems?
Yes, fob access control systems can often be integrated with other security systems, such as CCTV, alarm systems, and biometric scanners.
This integration creates a more comprehensive security solution, enabling real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and multi-factor authentication for enhanced security.
How secure are fob keyless entry system against cloning or hacking?
The security of a fob keyless entry system largely depends on the technology and encryption used.
Modern systems utilise advanced encryption methods to prevent cloning and skimming.
However, it’s essential to keep the system’s software and hardware up to date to defend against evolving threats.
Additionally, using fobs with higher frequency ranges and more complex encoding can further enhance security.
What happens if a fob or card is stolen?
If a fob is lost or stolen, it can be immediately deactivated within the system to prevent unauthorised access.
A new fob can then be issued to the affected user without any disruption to the overall security.
This is a significant advantage over traditional keys, where a lost key might necessitate changing all related locks to maintain security.
It is a fact that fobs and cards get lost. Customers often charge a fee or a deposit to cover any replacement charges.
