Decide who gets in, where and at what time
Card, fingerprint or phone readers on your doors, with a record of every entry.
What it is for, depending on your site
A key gets lent and lost; a credential gets canceled and leaves a record. This is what changes depending on the type of site.
Offices
Schedules by area, and cancellation of the credential of someone who lost it or no longer works with you, without changing locks.
Buildings and condominiums (PH)
Lobby, parking and common areas with credentials per unit, and an entry log for the building management.
Warehouses and industry
Restricted areas, such as a server room or a storeroom, with a record per person and per shift.
Banks and sensitive sites
Doors with two-factor validation, for example card and code; if you integrate cameras, each entry can be linked to its image.
What it includes and what it needs
What is included and what is optional are set in the proposal, after the visit. Anything that depends on the inspection is told to you before, not after.
See what is included and what it needs
Included
- Controller and reader per door (card, fingerprint or phone, as in the proposal)
- Electromagnetic lock or electric strike, depending on the door
- Exit button and door status sensor
- Management software: users, schedules and reports
- Initial credentials, as in the proposal
- Setup, testing and training
Optional
- Credentials on the phone
- Integration with cameras and with the alarm
- Additional entry hardware, such as turnstiles, if the project calls for them
- Temporary credentials for visitors
- Software licenses, when the chosen platform requires them
Site requirements
- Doors suitable for the chosen lock (frame, leaf and closer in good condition)
- Power and network to each door
- A list of people, areas and schedules defined by you
- A free way out for people in an emergency: the lock for each door is chosen with that in mind
Defined during the inspection
- Type of lock per door and how it behaves without power
- Cabling route and network point
- Integration with systems you already have
- Number of readers and credentials
Emergency exit doors have their own requirements: the lock and the exit button are chosen so that nobody is locked in during an emergency. What your building requires is confirmed during the inspection; it is not taken for granted.
Supply, installation and what comes after
Each part has someone responsible for it. Supply and installation are ADVSYSA’s; monitoring is a separate service operated by AMS, an ATG Group company; the equipment warranty is given by its manufacturer.

Supply and installation · ADVSYSA
The equipment in the proposal, installed and configured by ADVSYSA technicians.
- Controllers, readers and locks
- Exit buttons and door sensors
- Software, users and schedules
Testing and handover
Before handover, we test every part of the system with you and leave you the documentation agreed in the proposal.
- Testing of every door: reading, opening and closing
- Training for whoever manages the credentials
- Inventory of what was installed
Optional services
Quoted separately; none of them is included by default.
- Credentials on the phone and for visitors
- Additional entry hardware, if the project calls for it
- Integration with cameras and alarm
Monitoring · AMS
Access control on its own is not monitored. If you integrate it with your alarm, which signals reach the ATG Group monitoring center, operated by AMS, is defined in the monitoring contract. How our monitoring center responds →
Maintenance
ADVSYSA offers it under its own contract, with its scope in writing: it is not included with the installation.
- Check of locks, readers and backup batteries
- Software updates, when they apply
- Adding and removing credentials, if you ask for it
Manufacturer’s warranty
See the manufacturer’s warranty
Each device carries its manufacturer’s warranty, with the term and conditions that manufacturer publishes for the installed model. It is a condition separate from the supply, the installation and the monitoring.
Locks and exit buttons are parts in constant use, and backup batteries are consumables: the manufacturer defines what its warranty covers and for how long. Ask us about the term and conditions that apply to each device in your proposal.
The installation is ADVSYSA’s. Ask us about the installation warranty: its term and conditions are in your proposal or your contract.
What people ask us about access control
Can I cancel a lost card?
Yes. Whoever manages the system cancels the credential from the software and the change is recorded. You can also limit access by schedule and by area without touching the doors.
What happens if the power goes out?
It depends on the lock chosen for each door: some open without power and others stay locked. Power supplies with backup batteries keep the system running for a while, with the runtime their manufacturer states. That choice is made door by door during the inspection, with people’s way out as the first condition.
Does it work with a fingerprint or a phone?
Yes: card, fingerprint or a credential on the phone, depending on the reader. They can be combined, for example card by day and card plus code at night. We recommend the type based on the flow of people and the security level of each door.
Does it integrate with the cameras and the alarm?
Yes, when the platforms allow it: each entry can be linked to a camera image, and a forced door can send a signal to your alarm. Which integrations apply to your current equipment is confirmed during the inspection.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish prices: it depends on the number of doors, the type of reader and lock, and whether network and power have to be run to each door. The written proposal states what is included, what is optional and what goes separately (ITBMS, the sales tax, is added as the law requires).
