IntroductionIntroductionAn Area is a location to which entry and exit are defined, monitored, andcontrolled by readers and door locks managed by C•CURE 800/8000.C•CURE 800/8000 uses Areas to regulate Antipassback control, rollcallreports, and occupancy restrictions. If you have the C•CURE 800/8000 AssetManager option, the door readers can also track the movement of assetsbetween Areas.When high security and tracking is required, Areas can be configured torequire cardholders to use their badges to both enter and exit an Area. Thisprovides a record of when a cardholder leaves an Area, which allows thesystem to track what Area a cardholder is in at any time. C•CURE 800/8000uses this information to produce Time and Attendance reports, Mustering/De-mustering control and reports, and antipassback notifications.
