What Is Access Control Monitoring
Access control monitoring is the 24/7 monitoring and remote management of a site’s electronic access-control systems — door and gate events, credentials, lockdown and after-hours access — so entry activity is watched, verified and acted on in real time rather than reviewed after the fact.
Without monitoring, those events are still logged, but nobody sees them until the log is read the next morning. StateGuard delivers access control monitoring from its ASIAL-certified Grade A1 National Operations Centre in Melbourne, under AS/NZS 2201.2-2022.
WHAT STATEGUARD ACCESS CONTROL MONITORING COVERS
StateGuard provides real-time monitoring and remote management of electronic access-control systems, attended by licensed operators at the StateGuard ASIAL-certified Grade A1 centre.
Door & Gate Event Monitoring
Forced-door, door-held-open and tailgating alerts are reviewed in real time by StateGuard operators at the Grade A1 centre, so unusual entry activity is seen and acted on as it happens.
Remote Lock, Unlock & Lockdown
StateGuard operators grant access, lock or unlock a door, or trigger a site lockdown on request, allowing entry to be controlled without a person on site.
Credential, Alarm & CCTV Integration
Access events are tied to alarms and cameras so StateGuard operators can verify who triggered a door against live video before any escalation.
After-Hours Access Authorisation
StateGuard operators verify and log who enters outside business hours, so after-hours access is authorised and recorded rather than left unattended.
Audit Trail & Reporting
Every access event, operator action and after-hours entry is timestamped, producing evidence-grade logs for compliance and investigations.
Multi-Site Central Management
One StateGuard Grade A1 centre manages every site and door, giving a single, consistent view of access across all locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does access control monitoring include?
Access control monitoring is the 24/7 monitoring and remote management of electronic access-control systems by a licensed Grade A1 centre, so door and gate events, credentials and after-hours access are watched, verified and acted on in real time.
How is access control monitoring different from alarm monitoring?
Access control monitoring watches access-control events such as door and credential activity, while alarm monitoring receives intrusion and life-safety alarm signals. StateGuard commonly integrates the two so access events can be verified against alarm and CCTV activity.
Can StateGuard integrate an existing access control system?
Yes. StateGuard connects existing electronic access-control platforms including Inner Range, Gallagher and Honeywell, typically without full system replacement.
Can StateGuard operators lock and unlock doors remotely?
Yes. StateGuard Grade A1 operators grant access, lock or unlock a door, or trigger a site lockdown on request, with each action logged.
What happens when a door is forced or held open?
Forced-door, door-held-open and tailgating alerts are reviewed in real time by StateGuard operators and, where cameras are available, verified against CCTV before escalation.
Can StateGuard manage after-hours access?
Yes. StateGuard operators verify and log who enters outside business hours, so after-hours access is authorised and recorded rather than unattended.
Can StateGuard monitor access control across multiple sites?
Yes. Every site and door is managed centrally from one StateGuard Grade A1 monitoring centre, giving a single view across all locations.
Is StateGuard access control monitoring Grade A1?
Yes. StateGuard monitors from an ASIAL-certified Grade A1 centre under AS/NZS 2201.2-2022, the highest Australian monitoring class.
Does StateGuard provide audit trails and reporting?
Yes. Access events, operator actions and after-hours entries are timestamped by StateGuard to produce evidence-grade logs for compliance and investigations.
