Access Control Systems – Arm yourself. No one will do it for you!

Question: ‘I own a successful company; I have a LOT to lose. I hate the way guard dogs look and don’t want people to be deterred from visiting the building by being put off by butch, burly guards. Other than CCTV installation, what else can I look into?’

Answer: You’re right, CCTV installation is highly effective, discreet and secure but have you thought about access control systems!

Access control systems – coupled with CCTV installation – allow you to control exactly who has access to and from your building. Sure, lock and keys also allow you a similar security mechanism but, where access control systems and CCTV installation differ is not just in their higher level of safety and protection but, where keys can be lost, access control systems nor CCTV installation can never go missing, get mislaid or vanish in the washing machine- forever lost in the pipes that remain hidden under the kitchen floorboards. CCTV installation and access control systems- when installed well – save you the expense and inconvenience of either locks or re- issuing keys. Furthermore, where physical keys can be replicated, access control systems are in- duplicable and remain inaccessible to unauthorised users.

All businesses- large and small alike – have assets and confidential documents that need protecting and there is also the growing issue of staff security to take into account. It is all-too-common in buildings that are traditionally secured, for doors to be left unlocked and unguarded all day, leaving offices open to potential thieves. Access control systems benefit from being self- locking and they provide the most efficient, reliable security measures to protect your workforce, building and its belongings.

How access systems work is simple. Tokens are allocated to allow access through electronically controlled doors and can be just as easily barred from the system is they are lost, stolen or unreturned. Once access control systems are effectively installed, all doors will automatically lock when a door is closed and anyone without a suitable PIN or access token is unable to enter. Access control systems allow the user full control and can set doors to lock during designated time frames.
