Access control
Access control systems allow you to enter and exit your property through controlled access points. The main types of system are detailed below.

Remote operation
A handheld transmitter or proximity fob is used to operate the system.

Automatic operation
The system operates automatically on approach. This is usually only used in one direction so you can leave without having to operate the system.

Keypads
These dispense with the need for transmitter fobs but do require you to exit, or at least lean out of your vehicle. This is the lowest form of security as codes can be shared.
