A physical access control system triggers an alert when cameras or sensors determine an action e.g. entry into or occupancy of a reserved region. The system may caution the pilgrim to present a credential or affirm proper attire and safety equipage upon entry into the penumbra of the reserved region. Within the penumbra, a pilgrim may preempt the access control challenge or alert by presenting his credential or by signally his intention to enter the reserved region. A surveillance and security system records all entries and occupancy of reserved areas but suppresses alarms and alerts on the condition that a credential bearer is within the geo-fenced region. A reserved area has both umbra and penumbra regions with various effects of entry, occupancy, and presentation of credentials. Alerts can be preempted in the penumbra and unfaulted in the umbra by presentation of a credential.
