Access Control
Access Control complements other security devices already in operation, to protect both your staff and your premises and can be integrated into your security system or can be a standalone feature.
Access Control:
- monitors the movement of people within the premises
- replaces conventional locks and the need for replacement in the event of lost or copied keys
- controls where staff can enter and leave the buildings
- allows specific access by individuals to building areas at specified times.
Access can be secured by using a keypad requiring a code. However, codes are easily misappropriated: which compromises security.
Card Readers,
also known as "Proximity Tags,"
are pre-programmed cards that are held near the sensor to operate the lock. Should a card be lost, it is simply de-activated, and security is not compromised.
Bio-metric Systems
use finger prints, iris scanners and voice identification and are more expensive but offer greater security and are usually used in sensitive situations.
