Access Control Systems

Overview

The traditional method of locks and keys allow you to secure your premises, but when keys are lost or stolen, you face the annoyance and expense of changing locks and re-issuing keys. Keys can also be copied, creating even more of a security risk. Furthermore, it is common that buildings which are secured by lock and key have doors left unlocked all day which allows for the possibility of opportunist theft and even physical endangerment to staff Access Control.

Electronic access control systems provide the most efficient and convenient way of securing your building and property. You will never have to change a lock again - tokens are issued to allow access through the controlled doors, and are easily barred from the system if they are lost, stolen or just not returned by someone who leaves your company. All doors controlled by the system will automatically lock when the door is closed.

Anyone without a PIN or access token is unable to enter. If necessary, doors may be set to unlock only during a designated time frame. Individual users’ access rights can also be configured, so that all staff can gain access through the main door of a building, but access to internal areas may be restricted to those who have a specific need to be there.

How Access Control Works

Physical access control is a matter of whom, where, and when. An access control system determines who is allowed to enter or exit, where they are allowed to exit or enter, and when they are allowed to enter or exit.
