Take Control of Your Security
What are Access Control Systems?
Credentials:
- Key Cards/Fobs: Users conveniently carry key cards or fobs that communicate wirelessly with readers to gain access to buildings or areas within a building.
- Mobile Phone Apps: Secure apps on smartphones act as credentials, adding flexibility and convenience to your security system.
- Biometrics: Advanced systems leverage unique physical characteristics like fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features for the highest level of security.
Readers:
- Proximity Readers: Simple and cost-effective, proximity readers sense the presence of a key card or fob nearby.
- Keypad Readers: These devices require the user to manually enter a code for access to a building or area within a building.
- Biometric Readers: Highly specialized pieces of equipment, biometric readers scan fingerprints, irises, or other physical traits to verify a person's identity before allowing them access to a particular area.
Electric Locks:
- Electric Strikes release the door latch when an authorized credential is presented.
If an unathorized credential is presented, the door latch will not release and may trigger an alarm or other alert. - Magnetic Locks use a powerful electromagnet to keep the door secured and release only when the system gives specific instructions.
Control Panel:
- Stores Credentials: The control panel contains a database of all approved users and their associated permissions.
- Manages Access: Processes data from the readers and decides whether to grant or deny access based on set rules.
- Generates Reports: Records access attempts, creating an audit trail of who entered specific areas and when. These reports also include any attempts to gain access to restricted areas by unauthorized users, as well as any failed attempts by users who are authorized, so that repairs can be made as necessary.

Benefits of Access Control Systems
Enhanced Security
- Restricted Access: Unlike keys that can be lost or stolen, access control systems allow you to precisely define who's allowed in and who's not. Limit access to sensitive areas, server rooms, storage facilities, etc.
- Zoned Security: Establish different security levels. A general office area might have fewer restrictions than a room containing critical documents or expensive equipment.
- Detailed Logging: An access control system tracks every access attempt, who entered, where, and when. This is invaluable for incident investigations and compliance in certain industries.
Convenience
- Easy Authorization Changes: Granting access to a new employee is as simple as programming a card. Revoking access when someone leaves is equally fast—no need to collect keys.
- Eliminate Lock Changes: Lost or stolen keys trigger expensive lock changes. Access control systems make this a thing of the past. A misplaced key fob or card is instantly disabled with just a few clicks.
- Remote Management: Some access control systems allow for remote access. You can update permissions or unlock doors from anywhere with an internet connection.
Increased Efficiency
- Employee Tracking: Access control systems track when people enter and leave areas within your establishment, providing valuable insights into work patterns. This can help identify potential bottlenecks or productivity improvements.
- Time and Attendance: Eliminate manual timekeeping by tracking when employees enter and exit the work area. This streamlines payroll processes and reduces errors.
- Integration Possibilities: Access control can be integrated with other systems like video surveillance or intrusion alarms, creating a comprehensive security environment.
Scalability
- Flexible Growth: Access control systems easily expand as your business needs change. As your business adds locations or new areas that need heightened security, the access control system grows with you.
- Adaptable: Access control systems can be configured for simple settings (like a small office) and robust, multi-site enterprises with thousands of users.
