1. A device comprising:
a housing that is mountable to a stationary surface proximate to an access point to a controlled area;
a reader that receives a user credential;
a first sensor disposed against or proximate to the housing and oriented in a first direction, the first sensor configured to detect motion within a first predetermined distance from the housing;
a second sensor disposed against or proximate to the housing and oriented in a second direction, the second sensor configured to detect motion within a second predetermined distance from the housing, wherein the first direction is at an angle relative to the second direction; and
at least one processor configured to trigger at least one output notification if motion within the first predetermined distance from the housing has been detected by the first sensor,
wherein the second sensor is configured such that, when the housing is mounted to the stationary surface proximately to the access point, the second sensor is configured to detect motion of a person or object: (1) passing through the access point and/or (2) adjacent to the access point.
