Security is the main reason why access control is important. Its aim is to protect a building and its occupants, data and assets by reducing the risk of unauthorized intrusion, while making access convenient for authorized users and approved visitors. Commercial or Domestic premises, we got you covered.

• Integrated Security
• Perimeter Protection

Access control systems in the workplace enable operators to safely secure a building or area.

The design of the system takes into consideration various aspects e.g. the number of access points, the level of security required at each access point, when access is required, what controls are to be put in place, whether the access points are internal or external, whether video surveillance tools are required and if so where monitoring and control rooms are located.

Additionally access control systems can record an individual’s whereabouts within an area to allow a full manifest of persons in an area to be provided for accountability purposes should an emergency evacuation occur.

Electronic access control systems generally rely on credentials such as PINs, tokens (swipe cards, Proximity cards, and so on) or biometrics to control access.

Access points can be configured to permit all or a selected group of users into the secure area and these can also be configured to only allow access at certain times of the day. Other measures to prevent tailgating through the use of anti pass back can also be implemented to reduce the risk of unauthorised individuals accessing sensitive areas. Additionally CCTV surveillance can be integrated into the access control system to provide assurance that credentials are not being misused.
