If you are looking for a simple and effective way to secure your business, an access control system may be the answer. Here are 5 things you need to know about how access control works and how it can benefit your business.
Detailed Data Record
Access control systems will create a detailed record of everything that happens in your building. You will be able to see who entered what building, what time they arrived, and how long they stayed. Advanced systems can even analyze this data and send alerts of any suspicious activity. This can be invaluable data that help you to protect your employees and your business.
Scalable
As your business grows and changes, your access control system can easily adapt and scale. This makes access controls a wise and safe investment.
Integration
Traditionally, key cards and readers have formed the foundation of any access control system. Key cards are still widely used, but you can also integrate your access controls with smartphones. Employees won’t have to worry about losing a keycard and anyone managing the system can have alerts sent directly to their phone. Camera equipped readers can even send images right to a phone so you can see who is entering the building or requesting access.
Customizable
There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to access control systems. That is why each system can be totally customized to your business and your budget. You get to choose the leveling of monitoring, customize alerts, and find the best solutions for you.
Affordable
Many businesses assume that this level of technology comes with a prohibitively high price tag. Fortunately, the technology has advanced to the point where it is more commonplace and thus more affordable and accessible.
