Access Control Systems: 6 Key Benefits

Access control systems control access to your home, facility, or certain parts of the facility. It is a digital way of allowing authorized users in and keeping out unauthorized persons. Here are six reasons you should consider installing one.

1.  Escape Hassle of Traditional Keys

Traditional lock and key systems are inefficient in several ways. For example, if you lost a key, you would have to make a new one or change the locks. In high-security facilities, a lost key may warrant changing all the locks associated with the key and issuing all authorized personnel a new key.

With access control systems, the system administrator can deactivate lost cards and issue new ones on the spot. It increases the facility’s safety.

2.  Facility Access Logs

The system keeps a record of who accessed the facility at what time. Such data is critical in the case of an accident or vandalism. Additionally, the system collects data on those who access the facility –  where, when, and how often.

3.  Allowing Access Remotely

Employees have to make a double trip when they forget their keys. But, with access control systems, team members and outside contractors can be granted access remotely. This improves productivity.

4.  Easy Integration with Other Security Systems

You can integrate the access control system with your alarm and video surveillance systems to increase efficiency. In case of a breach, the alarm will go off, and you will get a real-time feed of the incident.

5.  Ease of Management

Once you establish the system, you do not have to ask who needs which keys, when, and who enters where. The system records every access, and every team member is responsible for their cards.

6.  Allow Controlled Access

A key will always work. But, you can program access using the system’s scheduling feature to restrict access to certain days or times of the day. For example, you can grant access to maintenance personnel for the duration of their task.

An access control system not only revolutionizes security but also affords you the peace of mind to focus on your core business. Contact us Today for access control systems installation.
