While using an access control system, there are requirements to unlock the entrance or doors for a certain time for guests and employees to pass by easily. Also, there are needs to lock the doors during a time nobody should be inside the building or a facility. In BioStar 2, you can use the Scheduled Lock/Unlock Zone to meet your requirements.

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