Advantages of Access Control

Many businesses in Alpharetta, GA use access control systems, hospitals, colleges, municipal buildings, schools, malls and more. Access control systems are an easy way to get a lot of people in and out of a building, safely. If you receive a good amount of foot traffic for your business then you might want to consider access control. Even though there are a lot of businesses that already have access control, there are still a lot that do not.

With an access control entry system, it will minimize your liability because a thief will not be able to easily gain access inside. It is extremely difficult to compromise this type of entry system. This isn’t a standard type of lock that can be picked. It was designed with a high-level of security, which is why it is so difficult to compromise. Knowing the level of ingenuity that it took to design this type of lock is all that is needed to convince them that they should have it installed.

Regardless of the size of your business, we are sure that you would want to protect it. You likely have built a business that you are proud of and the last thing that you want to do is allow someone to break in and take what you have worked so hard for. With an access control system there are no standard type of key to use, it uses a code or a fob key. The good news is that with the simply swipe of the card or code keyed in, you’ll be in fast.

There are some more familiar access control systems, such as those that you now see at the airports. Some systems use personal characteristics, such as a fingerprint. The fingerprint is stored in the system and when the correct fingerprint is identified then they will be given access inside. There are also some that use a person’s eye retina. This is a new feature that they are attempting to use at airports in the U.S.  The most popular type of access control system used for residential use is a keypad. This is not only practical but it is also convenient. You can provide each member of your home with a different code but it’s best it you explain the importance of never giving the number out to anyone. If you ever feel that your code has been compromised, you can easily change it.

The above mentioned are some of the advantages of having an access control system installed but there are plenty more and here they are below.

Anyone who has deliveries will often use this service when they are away. They may not be able to be there when someone is scheduled to deliver something. However, they can leave them a note to call when they arrive and then they can remotely unlock the door so that they can leave the package inside.

Monitors Entry – With an access control system it keeps track of anyone who has been in and out of your business. Since you don’t have to have a receptionist, you might wonder how you are able to screen people. If you have access control then everyone who you want to have access to your building will have a code or a fob key that is registered to only them. Once you use the code of key it logs you in when you leave, it logs you out, automatically. You will have a log of every employee or visitor that has been given access into your business, 24-hours a day. In most cases, many access control systems also have cameras, which can also take footage of anyone entering and leaving your business.
