What Is Access Control for Business?
An Access Control system is a security solution used to manage the entry and exit of a premises, and secured areas of a building. The system can also operate doors, gates, barriers and turnstiles to safeguard employees, data and the premises, prevent theft and secure all aspects of a business.
Consider the following guidance when choosing secure workplace solutions to fit your requirements.
Who Needs Access Control?
Access Control is a useful security option for businesses of all types – from corporate offices and hospitals, to schools and banks.
Providing peace of mind that your business is being accessed only by those with the correct clearance, Access Control offers solutions to meet specific business requirements.
Some of the many advantages of Access Control include:
- Managing the usage of doors and areas during set periods
- Limiting access to private spaces
- No keys required
- Easily view entry data of personnel on-site
- Reducing unauthorised entry
Types of Access Control
A site survey of your premises and an understanding of your business requirements will determine the most suitable system. There are three types of Access Control to safeguard your personnel, property and assets:
DOOR ENTRY
For those who cannot access via other methods, door entry systems involve a panel placed externally on the building. A call button alerts those inside the building that entry is requested.
STANDALONE
An effective and simple means of controlling entries, a code or fob is required to gain access via an external panel.
PC-NETWORKED
Access doors are connected to PC software via a series of wires and programmed to allow permissions.
Access Control Maintenance
It is highly recommended that your Access Control is installed and maintained by security specialists.
As a vital electrical system in your business, Access Control will require ongoing servicing to ensure it is in perfect working order at all times.
