Physical security is always a priority for business owners. More than just protecting employees and business assets, creating a highly functional, efficient, and optimizable security system means that standard locks and keys need an upgrade. Enter access control systems.
WHAT IS PHYSICAL ACCESS CONTROL?
Unlike physical barriers like walls, fences, or basic doors, access control systems guide who, how, and when an individual can gain entry to your facility or specific sections of your facility. Through electrical systems such as keypads, card or fob consoles, or even biometric readers (fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, or retina scanners) access control specialists can design and install systems that not only protect your business but offer advanced efficiency and monitoring features.
Common access control elements include:
- Card Access
- Keypads
- Video and Audio Intercom Systems
- Biometric Access Control
