Access Control

Access Control

Today security and safety are a large part of running a business or establishment. Access control is your answer to knowing who is in your building and when, enabling you to limit, monitor and control entry to those staff and visitors who should have access as well as preventing uninvited guests.
The beauty of this system allows quicker, manageable, flexible and an adaptable implementation and integration. Access control is equally beneficial to small and large businesses, private, public organisations and your home. Notwithstanding, we highlight a few application examples:-

Banks

Multiple forms of ID or access for staff can be implemented. Here one can set security access zones to match the authority levels of employees

Building management

BMS access systems can help you control your building lighting, heating and air conditioning. Access systems can also be integrated with lift control.

Car parks

Make use of area counting to limit entry when your car park is full and restrict access only to authorised vehicles. Remote locations can also be served, all brought under a central control, whether local or not.

Education

Schools, colleges and universities use access control to manage the different access
rites for staff, students and visitors. Cash less vending is also a consideration for some.

Health care

For hospitals and nursing homes, access systems can help you meet your duty of care obligations. In the community access control can help with monitoring home care support.

Hotels

Aside from managing guests, access systems also help manage staff with the front desk being able to see when staff have cleaned a room for instance or common areas

Offices

Access control systems can help you manage multiple tenancy office blocks. Magnetic stripe or proximity cards can also be combined with photo I.D. to ensure that only those eligible gain access, thus making security that much simpler.

Sports facilities

Access control can allow you to manage season ticket holders as well as visitors. As an example, one can integrate turnstile operations, with season ticket holders using proximity readers whilst club visitors use their match ticket printed with a bar code.

Time and Attendance

On-line systems generate reports for time and attendance. Use it for record keeping, identifying late comers or to integrate with full T&A software and payroll.
