With advanced technologies pushing use cases, EAC has become a proactive solution
Access control has never been the most glamorous facet of the security industry, at least when compared to ubiquitous surveillance cameras or sophisticated sensors. But with the dawn of cloud technology and AI tools, and shifts in how people work and play, all of that has changed.
Jake Leichtling, director of product management for access control at Verkada, says AI and automation are shaping the access landscape as they unlock new capabilities, especially predictive analytics and anomaly detection.
Security systems that leverage AI can, for example, bring together data and information from across an organization – such as camera motion or a door held open — to identify unusual patterns of behavior and trigger alerts, helping to prevent or drastically improve response time to an incident, he says.
“This ties more broadly into the shift we’re seeing in security from a reactive to a proactive role,” Leichtling says.
Here are five of the hottest trends in access control technology in 2024 as told through the eyes of integrators and manufacturers we interviewed.
