Access control is a term that means restricting access to certain areas of a building. Most common are entry points into the building itself along with offices or rooms that you want only certain people with authority to enter.
Access control is usually the second layer of security following your intrusion and fire system.
Features of access control include:
- Cards or codes that can be added or removed at any time, thus eliminating the need to "re-key"
- Restrictions on certain areas of your building to allow only those with the proper card to enter
- Automatic opening and closing of doors at set times to assure security and increase efficiency
- The ability to control your building or office remotely and, when integrated into other security systems, can alert you over phone or email when areas have been entered
An access control system reduces the burden of business management by allowing you to secure areas of your office, like client file rooms and your IT room, and by eliminating user error (did they remember to lock the building?). It also assists in reducing shrinkage, remote management and provides an overall feeling of safety among employees.
