The person who left last month may still be able to walk in. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Access levels + schedules = who, where, when. - Anti-passback needs readers on both entry and exit. - Logs are only useful if someone reviews them. Quick answer Access levels group doors; schedules set the times they apply; holidays override normal days. Anti-passback stops one card being passed back to let a second person in. Audit logs record every event, so you can see who went where and when, and spot doors forced or held open.

It needs readers on both sides (entry and exit). Useful at staff gates, car parks and turnstiles. ## Logs and reports - Who entered which door and when - Denied attempts (wrong time, wrong door, disabled card) - Doors forced or held open - Reports for investigations and attendance **Tip**: Set up a simple joiner/leaver checklist with HR: access created on day one, disabled on the last day. It closes the most common access-control gap. ## Frequently asked questions What is anti-passback? A rule that stops a credential being used to enter twice without exiting in between, so it can't be passed back to someone else. How long are access logs kept? It depends on the system's storage and settings. Export logs you need for investigations. Can access control give attendance reports? Access logs can support attendance, but a dedicated time attendance system handles shifts, overtime and payroll better. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
