While we can’t deny the havoc, the COVID-19 pandemic brought worldwide, it’s also true that the suddenly locked downs resulted in massive technological developments. In the past couple of years, many businesses established remote or hybrid working environments.

In the new working environment, on-premise systems aren’t as relevant as cloud-based access control systems. But we need to remember that every business isn’t the same and has different needs. Here are the major differences between the two access control systems.

On-Premise Access Control Systems

• On-premise legacy access control systems require on-site servers and you need to set up software on the computers near your facility.
• Since physical servers are a primary need, their maintenance and working, it typically time-consuming and you need to handle a specific workforce to handle these systems. You need IT, specialists, to install the systems, set up the hardware and software.
• Because of in-house dedicated servers, on premise legacy access control systems require more upfront investments in personnel, hardware, software licenses, and IT infrastructure.

Cloud-Based Access Control Systems

• You don’t need to set up cloud-based access control on site. You can deploy these systems in a few days or hours as they only rely on your internet connection.
• You can remotely configure cloud-based access control, which reduces business disruptions.
• You need to develop a budget for annual or monthly subscription costs for setting up cloud-based access control, maintaining them, and optimizing these systems.
