Access control is the method of determining who or what can access or leave an area and when. This is the basis of an effective access control system
Advantages of Access Control
By applying the appropriate level of access control for each person and door, you can enhance security and convenience. Think about the following factors when choosing access control measures:
- Does everyone have access to everywhere or do some people need to be restricted within certain boundaries?
- Control access to vehicles, machines, tools, and areas of special significance.
- Time matters. Should people or machines be in a specific location at a specific time, or should this be limited?
- Consider the kind of access control system and how it can be improved through insights such as average check-in time and violations due to swapping access tokens
Types of Access Control Systems
There are two main kinds of access control systems: PC-based and standalone.
PC-based systems enable control of one or more doors from one server. They offer features such as readers for codes and tokens, long-range readers and tokens, remote or local programming, easy future growth, and a constant audit trail.
Standalone systems control one or many independent doors. All components are within the reader, and they offer features such as readers for codes and tokens and local programming. They are best suited to small sites.
We also offer door entry systems, which allow you to identify and monitor visitors by talking to them or seeing their image on a screen and then giving access by unlocking the door from inside the building. We install, maintain, and repair a large variety of audio and video systems from most major brand names, however Paxton is our preferred systems for deployment.
