The title got your attention. But don't mix the too. They both are famous brand names for cars, but there is a vast difference in the functionality of both cars.
This is the same mistake we all make when we hear Digital Door Lock and Access control. We find them used in place of each other sometimes and don't completely understand what they actually mean.
Yes, they are used for similar purpose, as the name suggests. But as we delve deeper their purpose, use, and recommended place of installation are different. Hence the example of the cars was given.
Let me simplify this for your understanding. Access control is an umbrella term which includes digital door lock and many more features. A digital door lock is simply providing access to your premises, which maybe a room, house, office etc. No wiring is required here, and simply a mobile or a remote will do the job of entry and exit to the premises.
In comparison, Access Control is something recommended for a bigger establishment. It notes the time of entry and exit of a personnel or visitor from each of the entry and exit points. There is quite a bit of wiring required to get this installed. A proper mapping and study of the whole premises under consideration is required. It is not a stand-alone solution but an integrated one. An office or any enterprise is an ideal candidate for an access control system. Since this feature has an integrated software which keeps track of timestamps of entry and exit from the building, it is a brilliant solution for safety and security.
One must get the right experts to design and choose the solution.
