The mobile phone is integrated in almost all modern access control systems for opening electronic door locks. The big advantage of a smartphone compared to an access control card, drop or user code is that someone will not easily lend his or her mobile phone to someone else.
As a result, access control with smartphone apps is in many cases less susceptible to fraud than systems with cards. Moreover, someone will not easily forget to bring a mobile phone. The loss and thus replacement of access passes will also occur less often.

Another big advantage is that you can use the smartphone as a digital medium extremely useful for updating access rights online via the mobile data network. Many modern access systems use a network to update the access system. This creates access control in the cloud without every electronic lock being dependent on a direct internet connection.
In the settings of the access system you can choose whether or not someone is allowed to use the smartphone to open locks. Data exchange between the smartphone and the door lock or card reader takes place in most systems via Bluetooth
Increasing demand of access control system by small and medium-sized companies
The price of an access control system has dropped dramatically in recent years. Expensive hardware and software packages made investments for interior door quite common.
That price was also greatly boosted by the need for a lot of cabling work. And the ultimate benefit of the access system was often small.
Many people do not know that in the past many access control systems were only used to grant access. By this we mean that every pass or drop could open every door or electronic lock. Today, the prices and functionalities of an access system are much more favorable.
The systems work on the basis of electronic cylinder locks, electronic door fittings and wired access points. As the owner or manager of a business building, you can suddenly make all settings within the access system via your own laptop, tablet or smartphone.
You get full control over who can enter and when. Unclear key lists are a thing of the past and from now on access management is at least as well or perhaps even better organized than at an average government institution.
The systems work wireless and can almost always be built into existing door locks. What actually happened is that the existing lock is provided with a piece of electronics so that from now on no key is needed but an RFID tag.
One of the advantages is of course that the price will be a lot more favorable because less installation time is required. Another major advantage is that no changes are required to the structural situation or the functionality of an existing Digital Door Lock.
