A badge reader is an electronic access-control device that reads the credential stored on an employee's ID badge or smart card. The reader sends that data to an access-control system, which unlocks the door only when the badge holder has the required permissions. Anyone without an authorized badge is denied entry. The device does not encrypt Wi-Fi, inspect network traffic, or provide emergency power.
