Bianca, What you (or others) are looking for would be a door access system that can be audited via a network.
For nearly 6 months, we have been using a compact 7" access controller that reads Fingerprint/RFID with a manual keypad. The device is connected to our network via a simple Cat5. Usage, authorisations, expirations, and all can be managed even remotely via a secured port from our network. In turn, this access controller opens/closes the door, with the aid of a closer arm/hinge that could be found in any hardware store. The entire setup is under $500, and depending on model choices, it can be within a budget of $300. The number of members it can audit is under 5,000 records. DIY-able, obviously. Hope this helps.
