Why Access Control ?
Access control enables you to control who has access to your building.
Locks and keys also allow you to secure your building, but when keys are
lost or stolen, the inconvenience and expense of changing locks and
re-issuing keys can be considerable. Keys may also be copied, creating
even more security risks.
All businesses, whether small, medium or large, have assets that need to
be protected from theft. There is also the issue of protecting staff and
their property. It is common in buildings that are secured by locks and
keys for doors to be left unlocked all day. This opens up the
possibility of opportunist theft and malicious damage.
Electronic access control provides the most efficient and convenient way
of securing your building and assets. Installing an access control
system means that you will never have to change a lock again. Tokens are
issued to allow access through the controlled doors, and are easily
barred from the system if they are lost, stolen or just not returned by
someone who leaves your company. Barred tokens will not allow access
through the controlled doors.
Once an access control system is installed, all doors controlled by the
system will automatically lock when the door is closed. Anyone without a
PIN or access token is unable to enter. If necessary, doors may be set
to unlock during a designated time frame.
Access control can also offer flexible control over users’ access
rights. For example, all staff can gain access through the main door of
a building, but access to internal areas may be restricted to those who
have a specific need to be there. Access may also be restricted by time,
only granting access to particular users at certain times of day or
night.
