Benefits of Access Control Systems
Installing access control systems helps businesses manage security and track all entryway activity, so you have complete control over who can enter the restricted areas, reducing security risks and vulnerabilities. In the event of a break-in or theft, an access control system creates detailed logs of team members who accessed specific areas. Authorities can use these logs to help catch the perpetrator.
- The primary benefits of installing an access control system include:
Disagreements can happen at work and bullying may occur. You can use the CCTV footage to catch bullies and monitor employee behavior.
You can prevent unauthorized access through copied or lost keys by having access-controlled systems installed in specific locations, such as restricted areas. There's also no need to bring a physical key that can get lost.
Access control systems provide a detailed log of people who accessed restricted areas of your building in real time. This can help you monitor who enters specific locations of the building.
Access control also helps you protect valuable assets such as intellectual property, equipment and confidential information.
Keycards enable access control based on employee roles, granting permission only to authorized personnel.
Choosing the Right Access Control System for Your Home or Office
Keep your home safe and secure by automating access, ensuring only family members or tenants enter the property. You can install access control systems at entry points, including gates, elevators, doors and interior doors for added security, especially if you have a home office with valuable assets. So, what types of access control systems can you install? We'll help you make an informed decision.

- Some of the commonly used access control systems in homes include:
Keypads allow authorized users to enter a room or property using a PIN code or a mobile app. They can also be used to replace lost physical keys in residential properties. Some systems notify the owner of unauthorized access or when someone fails to enter the correct PIN code after several attempts. The downside is that you need a reliable power source or backup batteries in case of an outage.
Most hotels use RFID, which allows guests to receive key cards to enter their rooms. RFID keys can also be used for apartment buildings, gyms, package rooms and offices. RFID systems offer a cost-effective solution. However, making new key fobs can be expensive. These systems also don't allow individuals to request access, which can create long-term problems, especially for businesses. Contact us to determine whether RFID or another option suits your business or apartment buildings.
One of the biggest advantages of using a cloud-based system is managing access from anywhere with an internet connection. Guests or authorized personnel can unlock doors using electronic devices, as all the data is stored in the cloud. Owners can also review logs or manage permissions from anywhere, making it the most convenient access control system available. We recommend using a cloud-based video intercom for residential buildings instead of RFID systems when expecting visitors. This allows you to contact owners or residents to request visitor access. Smart-based access control systems, which use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, are also more efficient.
Carrying physical keys isn't only a hassle; it also doesn't guarantee safety. Anyone can copy the key and use it to enter a property. Unless you have CCTV installed, finding out who gained access to your home or office may be difficult.
About Smart Locks
You can forget about traditional keys by installing smart locks instead. This access control system replaces metal keys with a PIN code to allow residents or employees to get inside. Although efficient, we don't recommend smart locks for front doors, as anyone with the pin can re-enter at any time.
- The components that make up a smart lock include:
Newer systems utilize the cloud for storing data and the access permissions of authorized users. The owner can access this data remotely.
For smart access systems, you can use metal keys, cards, key fobs or fingerprints. The credentials store data about the user and what locations they can access.
The reader scans credentials and opens the door, but an improved solution lets the reader scan the credentials and send them to the control panel. The latter opens the door when the person is authorized to enter the property.
When the reader scans the credentials, the door release mechanism unlocks the doors.
Which System Is Best for Your Property?
We recommend choosing a modern access control system that's more efficient, reliable and easy to manage. Pick a system that easily integrates with other software and devices and preferably has a built-in CCTV camera, allowing residents or tenants to see who's entering the building.
