Types Of Authorization In Commercial Access Control Systems
True North Security Group uses only advanced technologies in access control installation to build security systems that work around the clock. We offer a range of access control authorization types that can be easily integrated into your existing entry points or installed from scratch:
Encrypted RFID tags
RFID is a smart technology that uses secure fobs or swipe cards to track and identify data. Easy to scan, tough to duplicate.
Smart cards
Smart cards securely store encrypted data and use mutual authentication. They’re efficient, reliable, and widely trusted.
PIN codes
PIN codes offer a simple way to manage access using personalized number combinations. They’re quick to update but hard to guess.
Biometrics
Among the strongest authentication methods, biometrics verify unique physical traits, like fingerprints or facial features.
Smartphone apps
Grant access through smartphone apps using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Near-Field Communication (NFC) for a convenient experience.

Access Control Models That Fit Your Needs
Not all access control systems function the same way, and choosing the right model is key. Each one offers different levels of security and control. Here’s a breakdown of the four most common access control models — and how they decide who gets access, and when:
| Access Control Model | Description | Example | Best Used In |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mandatory Access Control (MAC) | The most secure model. Only system administrators can assign or change access rights. | Highly restricted government or military zones. | Government departments, military facilities. |
| Discretionary Access Control (DAC) | Access is assigned based on user identity. Users manage their credentials. | Swipe card or key fob systems for approved users. | Private businesses, residential buildings. |
| Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) | Access is granted based on a person’s role or job title within the organization. | A bank where only executives have access to confidential records. | Corporate offices, structured organizations. |
| Rule-Based Access Control (RB-RBAC) | Access is controlled through specific rules set by admins, like time or location. | Visitors are only allowed during scheduled hours. | Flexible workplaces, public institutions. |
Product & Workmanship Warranty
Once your access control installation is complete, we’re still here if you need us. We stand behind our work with a warranty of up to 5 years, so you can have peace of mind if anything comes up. Please note that the exact warranty coverage may vary depending on the hardware and system components you choose. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Seeing our efforts pay off is the most gratifying part of our job. Each business we’ve helped is one more success story that we truly treasure. Take a look at the feedback from business owners who have worked with us and have chosen to share their experiences.
We had decided to have our alarm and cctv cameras installed by TSNG through a referral from the police officer after our house was invaded. Grim and his crew were super knowledgeable, efficient and very clean and respectful to our property. They made sure that we were comfortable with our new system and made us feel very secure about this wonderful security system. After the installation Grim stated that we could call him with any questions or concerns. The after sale service has been nothing short of a first class organization that consistently returns all my calls and are always willing to help correct any problems large or small. I have since passed on two referrals who have had security and cctv cameras installed and are completely satisfied with Grim and his group. I would highly recommend them and can honestly rate TNSG a 5 star company who truly cares about top notch customer service. Thank you Grim and TNSG for making us feel safe and secure once again.

Highly recommend True North Security Group. I didn’t realize the equipment the guy I’ve been dealing with for years was outdated and Grim got me set up with the latest technology and showed me how to use the app more thoroughly than the other person I’d been using. Great communication and installation was seamless.
We hired TNSG to set up CCTV and access control for our facility, and they did a solid job. The planning phase was straightforward—they worked with us to figure out what we needed, including recommendations to improve our original requirements by implementing things like 180 cameras, and kept things on track. The install happened when they said it would, no delays.
The hardware they used is very good quality, and the camera footage is clear day and night, which is exactly what we wanted. Their tech team knew what they were doing—handled the height work well (having certification for working at heights and all related insurances in place helped our comfort level in terms of liability on site) and sorted out the network setup without any issues. They even spotted a connectivity problem we’d been dealing with elsewhere in the building and fixed it on the spot, which wasn’t part of the deal but saved us a headache.
They’re easy to work with and took the project seriously, like they had a stake in it. The crew was skilled, and it felt like they actually cared about getting it right. We’d use them again.

If it weren’t for TNSG, we’d be dealing with a frustrating mess this morning (a broken window and stolen goods at minimum). Early this morning, we had an attempted vehicle break-in but fortunately the thief was scared off by our home’s active deterrents (cameras, sounds, and lights) and we, in turn, were saved from a major headache.
So glad we found TNSG. The team is amazing to work with and were incredibly helpful at advising on the right solutions for our home (monitoring, exterior and interior deterrents, etc). Highly recommended!

Exceptional service from start to finish. Their team was professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure our property was secure.
Professional, reliable, and attentive to every detail. Their tailored security solutions gave us complete peace of mind for our family business. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Sergei was professional, his pricing very competitive and installation was flawless, and on schedule. Highly recommend their services.
Recently had my home CCTV system installed by the TNSG. I couldn’t be happier with the selection of the equipment and especially the friendly and professional service, and quick turnaround. Everything was explained in depth and all queries were handled super professionally.

Access Control Installation FAQ
-
What are the benefits of using biometric access control over key fobs or access cards?
Sometimes, business key fobs and access cards get lost or even stolen. Biometric access control using fingerprint readers at entry points provides proof of identity, eliminating the hassle of issuing and replacing missing fobs or cards. Our team sees this authentication method as one of the most advanced and cost-effective access control solutions available.
-
Can you integrate security cameras with my existing key fob access control system?
Absolutely, no problem. Security cameras are a great complement to key fob access control systems, boosting your overall security and peace of mind. We’ll seamlessly integrate any security solution with your access control system to help keep unauthorized entry out.
-
How does an access control system work?
A person requests access using a key card, smartphone, or any other type of authorization. The access control system then verifies the credentials and unlocks the door if access is approved. If verification fails, access is denied, and a real-time alert is sent to the security team.
-
What’s the default password for CDVI access control systems?
The default password for CDVI access control systems is “admin.” For security reasons, it’s critical to change this password immediately after installation. Choose a strong, unique password and avoid using easily guessed patterns like “1234” or sequential characters to protect your system.
