Access Control
Protect your premises, and your people
The basic aim of access control is both to provide security and an unobtrusive way to regulate entry into certain areas of your premises, ensuring both your property and people are safe.
Most premises now have areas where the general public should be steered away from. When staff or other authorised persons still need access, a lock-down security solution is difficult. It may be that someone entering a restricted area is just lost – in these cases, better to stop them entering than triggering a full building alarm.
At one time, unattended access control was based around locks and keys, which then progressed to numbered keypads. Both had shortcomings and so, today, key-fobs, access cards and biometric controls are becoming the norm. Commsec Security can advise you on each of these as to their suitability, and can supply and install all types of access control.
The latest computer-based access control systems utilise existing network infrastructure to communicate with a central controller,
and can be programmed to give the same individual different access on different days, or different hours of the day. Each reader is independent, and so any problems are confined to that reader alone.
Access control systems also serve another purpose on top of their security functions. A computer controlled access control system can tell you exactly who is where on your premises. This can keep track of employee’s working hours, track visitors, and even ensure any vulnerable people are in the correct areas.
