There are different types of access control systems, each with their benefits and limitations. We will be more than happy to discuss your requirements and assess any existing access control systems, highlight any particular locations you'd like to improve or focus on. Our components are sourced from reliable suppliers in the industry and installed by our fully qualified engineers.
Choosing an Access Control System
Firstly, you should consider your practical requirements. Fingerprint and iris scanning may sound foolproof, but it may not match the practicality requirements of your business. How much training will your staff need to keep the system? How simple is it to include an individual to the authorised list?
Residential owners typically select a multi-operational system. A keypad for pin-code access, key fob for push-button control and a hub inside the residential or commercial property for central control. There is often audio/video connection to permit the owner to verify the identity of the visitor before approving access to the property.
For smaller commercial premises, access is frequently given via key cards or key fobs. This system can be further personalised to limit the locations onsite which can be accessed by a specific user based upon their roles. It's an efficient method to secure any classified info.
Larger businesses or industrial site with multiple access points may opt to have a mix of automated and manual access control. For instance, employees are approved for access with a key fob, while a central security station validates visitors and deliveries before they are authorised.
