Access Control

Why Do You Need Access Controls?

To define access control in its simplest terms; it is a means of controlling the access of a certain building or area to restricted members of the public or members of staff.

In a domestic situation, it is usually tenement blocks or shared dwellings that benefit from a standard door entry system. These panels are available in vandal resistant materials and can be labelled with each tenants name or number. A more sophisticated level of access can be obtained by using a video door entry system, where callers can be viewed before they are allowed to enter the premises.

On a commercial basis it is often important for companies to control access to the main building or certain areas of the building to key or authorized personnel. This can be achieved by various pieces of equipment from the basic card swipe installation to the more sophisticated fingerprint or retinal scan systems. These can all be linked to a PC for optimum control.

Corporations have used card swipe systems to great effect. Employees can be assured of a private and exclusive environment without the need for static security. Ex-employees can be denied entry by their card details being removed from the system. The company can also gather valuable information about peak times and employee movements - this aids staff deployment and improves efficiency and employee services.
