What is Access Control?
An access control system is used to control people and cars within a building or site.
The person could be an employee or visitor and could be travelling on foot or by car. Access control is therefore a way of increasing the security of a building or site, by controlling who can go where and when.
Access control systems usually use access cards or key fobs to authorise individuals into certain areas within a business premises.
Why is Access Control Important?
When you have a large volume of people arriving at your building and roaming around it throughout the day, it can be difficult to keep track of this movement. Access control systems are an important part of any security setup, allowing you to:
- Keep a record of the arrival and departure time of every individual who is present in the building
- Lock down high security areas of your premises and allow access only to authorised personnel
- Install powerful electromagnetic doors that are tamperproof for maximum security
- Easily redistribute keycards, fobs, or change the door code when your security needs change
- Install Biometric Access Control for higher levels of security
What are the benefits of Access Control?
No Need for Traditional Keys
Access control eliminates the need for traditional keys, which can easily and often get lost or mislaid. This can create a potential security breach. If there are multiple rooms and buildings with restricted access, this also means multiple keys are needed for each individual, which can be bulky to carry around – access control eliminates this issue.
Track Who Enters and Leaves
By tracking who enters and leaves your premises, it allows you to know who is where and when and that everyone is where they are supposed to be.
It also means that if an incident, accident or theft occurs, you will be able to identify exactly who was in the area or space at that specific time.
Protect Staff
An access control system can protect your staff and visitors by stopping unwanted visitors and non-authorised persons from entering your premises. If someone without access tries to enter the building, they won’t be able to and this significantly increases the security of your site as well as the safety of your employees and visitors.
Reduce Costs
Another benefit of an access control system is that is can reduce your overall costs. This is due to not needing to replace and supply keys, locks and employ security personnel to keep your site secure. This is especially relevant in a large scale company that may have thousands of employees and multiple floors and buildings. Instead, you will need to install one access control system, that can also be integrated with your other systems such as lighting, heating and appliances, to turn off when the room or building is not in use, thus saving on energy bills.
Reduce Theft
By controlling the building access, no unauthorised individual will be able to enter, meaning intruders will find it much harder to enter and commit a theft.
Improve Employee Experience
Employees will not only feel more secure on site, but will have an improved employee experience. They will be able to access different areas of the workplace with ease, without relying on others or security personnel to open and close buildings and rooms. This will give them more flexibility in their ways of work and will improve their overall employee satisfaction.
There are therefore several benefits of access control systems and their importance is key in maintaining a safe and secure environment.
