Visitor management refers to tracking the usage of a public building or site. By gathering
increasing amounts of information, a Visitor Management System can record the usage of the facilities by
specific visitors and provide documentation of visitor’s whereabouts.
Basic computer or electronic visitor management systems use a computer to monitor and record
visitor information. An electronic visitor management system improves upon most of the negative points
of a pen and paper system. Visitor ID can be checked against national and local databases, as well as in-house databases for potential security problems.
