Card Access Control Security Systems

The primary purpose of an access control system enables you to control who has access to your building.  More importantly, an access control system is critical to aid in the reduction of risk, theft, injury, and to mitigate liability. 

Locks and keys also serve as an adequate solution to secure your building, but when keys are lost or stolen, the inconvenience and expense of changing locks and re-issuing keys can be considerable. Keys are easily copied, creating additional security risks.  It is common in buildings that are secured by locks and keys for doors to be left unlocked, not only during working hours, but inadvertently, or intentionally after hours. Unsecured doors invite the possibility of opportunist theft and malicious damage.

All businesses, whether small, medium or large, have assets that require protection from theft, as well as protecting staff, company information and operations.  Electronic access control systems and key card locks provide the most efficient and convenient way of securing your building and assets.  By installing a card access control system you will never have to re-key a lock again. Tokens such as access cards, key fobs or biometric characteristics can be utilized to allow access through the controlled doors.  These tokens are easily removed from the card access control system should they be lost, stolen or not returned by someone who leaves your company. Barred tokens will not allow access through the controlled doors.

Once an access control system is installed, all doors controlled by the system will automatically lock when the door is closed. Anyone without the proper permissions in the form of a PIN, access token and/or biometric will be unable to enter. Card access control systems can also offer 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 job function which requires access to that area. Access may also be restricted by time, only granting access to particular users at certain times of day or night.  If necessary, doors may be set to unlock during a designated time frame, such as the front lobby door may be open and unlocked from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, but have restricted access before and after normal work hours.

To establish an effective card access control system, it is necessary to develop a combination of three important factors. These are: a complete access control plan, an electronic access control system and a properly engineered ID badge or token. A complete access control plan takes into account how your operation and people flow to make the access control system function properly and to yield long term success.
