Hexogen Technology designs and installs access control systems for companies in Egypt, securing the doors and gates of offices, factories and administrative buildings. We deliver card, fingerprint and face-recognition solutions and connect them to attendance systems and cameras, so you control exactly who enters, who leaves and when, from a single screen. We serve Cairo, Giza, 6th of October, New Cairo, the industrial cities and all governorates, from a single office door to dozens of entrances managed centrally.
What is an access control system?
An access control system decides who is allowed to open a specific door or gate, at what time, and records every entry and exit attempt with date, time and name. Instead of traditional keys that can be copied or lost, each employee receives a digital permission (card, fingerprint or face) that you can grant or revoke in seconds without changing any locks.
Components of an access control system
- Controller: the brain of the system, which decides whether to open the door and keeps working even if the network goes down.
- Readers: card readers, fingerprint, face recognition or PIN keypads, depending on the security level required.
- Electronic locks: magnetic locks or electric strikes suited to wood, glass or steel doors.
- Exit button and door sensors: to open from inside and detect doors left open or forced.
- Management software: a central dashboard for employees, permissions, schedules and entry reports.
- Backup power (UPS): keeps the system and locks working during power cuts.
Card, fingerprint or face recognition?
RFID and MIFARE cards are the fastest and most economical option for busy entrances, and encrypted MIFARE cards are harder to copy. Fingerprint stops employees from passing their card to someone else and suits offices, server rooms and stores. Face recognition is touch-free and fast, ideal for factories and hospitals. PIN, QR and Bluetooth options serve visitors and temporary permissions, and can be combined with a card or fingerprint for two-factor checks in sensitive areas.
Access control solutions we provide
- Office and department door control with permissions by department and schedule.
- External gate control for factories, compounds and warehouses.

Integration with your other systems
We link access control to biometric attendance devices so an employee's entry is also their check-in, with ready HR reports. We connect it to CCTV cameras so every entry event has video attached, and program doors to open automatically in emergencies for safe evacuation. Everything is managed from one dashboard on your company network.
How to choose the right access control system for your company
- Number of doors and employees: determines the controller type and number of devices.
- Security level: a card for general entrances, fingerprint or dual verification for sensitive areas.
- Door type: glass, wood or steel determines the right lock.
- Attendance integration: devices that do both, without duplication.
- Future expansion: a networked system that easily adds doors and branches.
