Access control system is a modern security system which controls and manages entry access to your premises. Generally, access control systems are installed in business premises such as offices and warehouses.
One of the main benefits of access control systems is that these allow advanced monitoring and control over entry permissions within the premises.
As access control systems are based on digital locks, only those with the right permission and entry access are allowed inside the locked area.
Better Control Over Entry Restrictions
Access control make use of digital keys, Fob keys or access cards instead of physical keys. These systems can also work with digital codes, phone apps and finger prints. With the Fob Keys or access cards, the premises entry is based on the permissions granted to the key holder.
In a business setting, the access control system can be used to grant entry access to different areas of the premises based on the role and responsibilities of the key holder.
For instance, an executive can have limited access to warehouse areas or cabinets for just one department. A business manager or supervisor can have unrestricted entry permission across all departments.
The biggest advantage of access control system is the ability to log entry and exits of individuals. In high security settings, it is a great tool to monitor the movement of employees. This enhances employee accountability and reduces the risk of sabotage or misuse of access permissions.
Master Key System & Constant Surveillance
By virtue of being digitally controlled locks, any access control system allows easily grant of master keys to senior management and supervisors. There is no need for physical master keys. Granting unrestricted access to one or all departments can be allowed to access cards or key Fobs using the control or admin panel of the access control system.
Similarly, entry permissions can be upgraded or limited any time using the control systems.
Such advanced and real-time control of access is an advantage as you do not need to take or issue new keys to individuals or employees. You can change or control entry permissions in real time using web or mobile applications.
Another advantage of access control system is the ability to monitor and check real-time data on entry and exits in your premises. When linked with CCTV surveillance cameras, you can check the premises video footage remotely from control rooms or even when far away. This helps increase the security as any intrusion or unauthorized activity can be monitored.
Access Control Systems in Buildings
Such systems are also installed in buildings and apartments complexes to improve security and entry management. For property managers, access control systems make it easy to issue new Fob keys, cancel old access cards / keys and grant restricted permissions to housekeeping staff.
As the entire system is digital, all the Fob keys or access cards linked to the system are monitored and controlled in real time.
For tenant properties, the managers can manage lost keys and issue new keys rather easily as there is no physical keys to the lock. Any lost key can be instantly cancelled on being informed. Similarly, new keys can be issued on request.
Unlike physical locks, losing Fob keys or access cards does not force changing of locks. You can simply cancel the old key and issue fresh keys. Thus, one saves on the cost of changing locks or rekeying each time a new tenant moves in or someone loses keys.
