Card swipe systems are popular and can be provided as a stand alone system or on line system. The Swipe Cards themselves can be printed with company logos and the card holders name and photo etc. Stand alone systems can be programmed via a control box or from system administration cards,  etc. On line systems are administered by a computer/s either at the the site and/or remotely, but don't worry CS Security systems will specify the right one for you.

Proximity Systems offer the same features as a Card-Swipe system only instead of having to physically offer 'Swipe' a card though the reader the user just offers the Proximity Card or Keyfob to the reader usually within 1-4 centimetres of the reader. Longer range readers ('Hands Free') can be used and Card/Tag holders (clipped onto belt, hanging from neck or on Key Rings) can open an access controlled door from 250cm -750cm or a few metres away especially useful on high use doors where personnel can be carrying items through doors on a regular basis.
