In this day and age there are countless reasons why you wouldn’t want everyone to have the freedom of entry into your office building, school, or residential complex. With no means of knowing who is coming and going, both staff and residents are likely to feel unsafe. While you may feel a traditional lock up and key set up is perfectly alright for your small office, many businesses of all types and size are finding there are many benefits associated with an access control system.
So first of all what exactly is access control?
Basically, it’s just a means of restricting control to certain areas of a building, using electronic means. This can include entry doors into a building, certain rooms within the building, and even external perimeter gates. For example a business may require a restricted room to hold personal files and other sensitive information. An access control system would mean the business could limit access to certain people only. So let’s take a look at some of the benefits an access control system provides:-
Track who has come and gone
-
No strangers here
-
Increased safety
-
No more lost keys

Multiple location access
