Is an Electronic Access Control System the Right Solution for Your Business

Integrated access control systems are an essential part of any industrial building’s security plan. All security access systems for businesses are designed to keep certain areas of a building secure by providing access control over which employees or residents are authorized to enter the area with their electronic credentials.

Electronic credentials for access control systems come with their own unique embedded code. This code can be designed to transmit to parking access control equipment with the press of a button to open an overhead door or to open a door when the code is presented to the electronic reader.

Building access control systems eliminate the need for keys, while also allowing a higher level of control over who is able to enter certain areas of a building, depending on security clearance, time of day, day of the week, etc.

Having key fob door entry systems installed in a business can help improve the building’s overall security, while also providing business owners with complete peace of mind. Some of the main advantages of building access control systems include:

  1. Integrated access control systems eliminate the need for re-keying locks and issuing news keys (a cost of $5000 to $7000) in the event that someone loses a key to the building. This is because key fobs that are lost or stolen can be immediately blocked from the access control system, denying entry for that fob’s unique embedded code.
  2. Parking access control equipment is specifically designed to protect the parkade by preventing access to unauthorized users at the man doors, overhead doors, and elevators. This means that installing access control for the parking area can help prevent theft, while also increasing the building’s overall security.
  3. Integrated access control systems store information about who has accessed certain areas of a building and when those areas were accessed. In the event of a theft, vandalism, or other crime, this information can be used to catch the perpetrators.
