In access control systems, a transaction refers to a record containing pertinent information about an access control event. Transaction history refers to the activities of the access control system that can be recalled on demand. These activities include access granted, access denied, and unauthorized attempts classified by credential, door, and time, such as an entry attempt at the main entrance using an invalid badge at 3:00 PM. Transaction history is an important tool in managing your access control system and knowing who has gained access to what and when. Regularly checking transaction history can help you to keep your business secure by monitoring for suspicious activity.
