As you use an access control system, there are time you need to unlock entrances or doors for guests and employees to pass by. On the other hand, there are times you need to lock the doors so that no one can enter a building or a facility. In BioStar 2, you can use Scheduled Lock/Unlock Zone to meet such needs.

To use Scheduled Lock/Unlock zone, a BioStar 2 AC Standard License has to be activated.
