Access Control Solutions
Access control offers a secure, convenient, flexible and cost-effective way of controlling who has access to your building or property and when that access is allowed.
If you're a businesses you need to be able to protect your assets and employees whilst allowing people to move freely in the areas that they need.
It is usually used in buildings or areas that are secured by locks and keys.
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 or stolen. The system can be controlled on the cloud using a pc or even a phone, while at the same time provding real-time monitoring and reporting.
Once the system is installed, all doors or gates controlled by the system will automatically lock when the door is closed. Anyone without a PIN or access token is unable to enter. If necessary, doors can be set to unlock during a specific time frame.
Access control also offers flexible control over users’ access rights. For example, all staff can gain access through the main door of a building, but access to internal areas may be restricted to those who have a specific permission to be there.
Access may also be restricted by time, only granting access to particular users at certain times of day or night.
The same principle can be used if you are the owner of a holiday property or hotel.
Your guests can be given a card or fob that allows them access to the property or room for the duration of their stay which will automatically be disabled when they leave.
You can even send them a "virtual key" to their smart phone that will work for a set timeframe before expiring.
With the increase in use of such things as smart technology and AI the access control system can be integrated with your CCTV system or Alexa enabling you to have voice control over anything from your front gates to the smart locks on your house or garage door opener, The CCTV can be programmed to recognise your car numberplate and automatically open the gate and the garage door. Alternatively your Ring doorbell can allow you to speak to a tradesman and then open the front door remotely to allow them access to the property.
