Finnish term or phrase: sähköinen kulunvalvontajärjestelmä
I've got a cell in a document reading
**Sähköiset kulunvalvontajärjestelmät**, lukitukset, langattomat kulunvalvontajärjestelmät.

I can't make out the difference between the two systems. Should I say wired (sähköinen) and wireless (langaton) , or are there any other forms I should be aware of?
Thank you for any help.

electronic access control system
Explanation:
Electronic access control uses computers to solve the limitations of mechanical locks and keys. A wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access based on the credential presented. When access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and the transaction is recorded. When access is refused, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded. The system will also monitor the door and alarm if the door is forced open or held open too long after being unlocked.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Juhana. I was thinking about "electronic", since this is what "sähköinen" first of all means, but when I saw "langaton" I wasn't sure of that any more.

agree  Timo Lehtilä: In principle 'sähköinen' is 'electric' and 'elktroninen' is 'electronic', but in practice it is the same and can be wired or wireless.
