Electronic Access Control Systems
Controlling access in and around your facility is a vital component of modern commercial
security systems. An Electronic Access Control System allows an
organization to control who can come and go from their facility, buildings, or parking
decks, as well as when they are allowed to do so, and gives management the ability
to restrict which areas designated people can access.
If your organization has a lot of employees coming and going, or high turnover, it
is difficult to recognize when someone doesn't belong. ID cards that unlock doors
add a layer of defense from unwanted access and eliminate many of the risks associated
with traditional keys.
What Are the Benefits of Access Control?
- Keycard and keychain fobs can be turned on and off quickly
- Keycards eliminate the need for traditional keys
- Don't have to re-key locks when an access card gets lost
- Know who is coming and going
- Know when people come and go
- Easily restrict or allow access to specific areas, floors, or buildings
- Immediately cut off access for terminated employees
- Feeling safe and secure in the workplace
What Types of Organizations Need Access Control?
A wide variety of businesses and other organizations use access card readers. Here
are a few examples:
- Commercial office buildings
- Financial institutions
- Medical facilities and doctors' offices
- Retail back offices and storage areas
- Industrial facilities
- Warehouses
- Laboratories & science facilities
- Schools & dormitories
Accountability & Detailed Reporting
Not only do you get accountability and detailed reporting on who entered and when,
but access control also covers time and attendance, which can provide useful data
to human resources and give the management team a clearer picture of what is happening
around the workplace.
Can Access Control Reduce Employee Theft?
An electronic access control system can help to deter employee theft and pilfering
because it adds a layer of accountability that isn't possible with traditional keys.
Access card readers leave a trail that answers who, where, and when something occurred,
which will discourage many employees from committing a crime that traces back to
them.
In fact, after hours access can be restricted altogether, so an employee's keycard
won't even be able to get them into the building when they're not supposed to be
there. Finally, timed door alarms set up through an access control system can help
prevent an employee from being able to prop open a door that might be intended for
a later break-in.
