Access Control

In the security industry, “access control” refers to the practice of restricting entrance to a property, a building, computer or a room to authorized persons.

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.

The primary purpose of access control is protection. By issuing electronic access rights, you can safely protect assets, information, processes, employees and the public, so that only those with permissions have access. Electronic access control takes this principle further by tracing “who, where and when” by recording and reporting on this data.

Electronic access control eliminates the needs for multiple key holders and dramatically reduces the cost associated with lock changes when keys are misplaced. Cardholder access rights can be revoked site wide, in an instant, improving security and crisis response. Reports can access the length of time workers have been on site, where they have been and if they have attempted to access unauthorised areas. Alarms like doors being left open or forced can be flagged in real-time therefore limiting and containing threat.

Access control can also be integrated with other security systems like CCTV so that events can also be visually recorded
