Why use Access Control?

Posted on June 10th, 2010 by Tom Anderson

Few employers want to allow all their employees access to all facilities all of the time. That’s why more and more are using electronic access control to limit employees’ access to their facilities.

At a minimum, an electronic access control system can be used to allow only employees into a building after hours, and provide excellent documentation of when and where employees enter and exit.

Access control is the only technology that proactively attempts to keep unauthorized individuals out of a building or areas within a facility, and is a perfect complement to video surveillance, burglar and fire systems in a comprehensive security solution.

Benefits of the Access Control Security System:
Protects Your Assets. The Enterprise Security system works as a sentinel on your site. Armed with highly-visible, strategically-placed electronic access control devices, the Enterprise Security system is an extremely effective deterrent. It provides a very efficient means of granting entry, while maintaining a high level of building and property security. By preventing just one incident per year, an Enterprise Security system can more than pay for itself.

Protects Your Employees: In addition to asset protection, the Enterprise Security system is your assurance that your employees will be protected. Our system allows entry to only those who are authorized and keeps out unwelcome intruders. You can rely on the Enterprise Security system to put your mind at ease.

Restricts Unauthorized Access: The Enterprise Security system restricts who can go where and when. The electronic access control system allows you to decide who is allowed entry to every door and gate by time of day. For example, executive management can be allowed access to all areas at all times 24x7x365, while certain workers can be restricted to entry through specified doors only during normal business hours.

Provides Audit Trail: The Enterprise Security system not only restricts who can go where and when, it provides an audit trail of who is accessing your facility and when. You can easily find out who was in a specific area at an exact time that an incident occurred.

Eliminates Key Problems: By installing an Enterprise Security electronic access system, you will eliminate all the problems associated with mechanical key and lock systems, e.g. the time and cost of re-keying when an employee is terminated, the cost of duplicate keys, lost keys, tracking who has keys, worrying about easy-to-duplicate keys getting in the wrong hands, etc.
