An access control system can play a vital role in making your facility a more controlled, more secure environment, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months of the year.
Designed to control and monitor entry points that include doors, elevator floors, or garage doors, an access control system puts you firmly in charge of regulating access at every system controlled entry point.
Our access control systems are network compatible, they seamlessly integrate within your existing network infrastructure giving you flexible design options and allow you to incorporate any number of buildings into one consolidated entity for unrivaled system management and oversight. With our access systems you have the added flexibility that if you happen to be off-site, you can remotely connect to the access control system over the Internet using one of our optional WEB Client applications.
Access control systems are about more than monitoring and controlling entry; they are an integral part of any security system and give you a convenient platform to manage your facilities. If you still secure your facilities with conventional keys and locks, consider this about keys: keys cannot track people who are accessing your building nor the time, and, when keys go missing, replacing or replacing locks can be extremely expensive. An access control system solves all of these problems and many more, including:
Enforce a facility or area lock down from any PC, proximity reader or dedicated key switch
Integrate motion detectors, glass break sensors, door contacts, panic buttons into the access system for monitoring alarm conditions from a single interface
Arm or disarm an intrusion panel via the access control system
Trigger a wide range of devices using auxiliary output relays to trip such items as sirens or strobes all based on certain events/conditions
Show employee photos as they pass through protected doors
Run a myriad of custom reports when you need to know who accessed what area and when
Manage and track visitors within your facilities
Determining how to secure your facility is an important decision. Creating the right mix of security features is important to ensure that your assets are protected, while not impeding day to day operations.
Access control provides control over facilities that traditional keys cannot. With the ability to lock and unlock doors from virtually anywhere, or allow access only during specified times you never have to guess who is in your facility. There are thousands of possible configurations for any system and you can pick and choose features to create an access control system that is customized to your needs and solve your most demanding challenges.
